Mandy performs best in Bounty (S-tier, 90/100). The Marksman kit — punishes overextended and mispositioned enemies from long range — is directly rewarded in Bounty, which is why Mandy climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Mandy pairs best with Gale and Emz. Since Mandy punishes overextended and mispositioned enemies from long range, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Mandy well, focus on Bounty where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Marksman that punishes overextended and mispositioned enemies from long range. Run In my Sights as the core build, track Bull and Jacky on the enemy team, and pair with Gale and Emz when possible.
Mandy is a long-range marksman who fires a precise candy shot that deals high damage at extended range with a narrow hitbox, rewarding players with excellent aim. Her Super activates a focus mode where she fires a continuous high-damage beam directly in front of her, which can shred any brawler caught in the sustained beam. She dominates Bounty and Knockout where open long-range sightlines let her freely attack from safety.
Mandy's attack slows down while aiming the candy shot, so always pre-aim toward expected enemy positions to minimize the window enemies have to dodge. Her Super beam is most effective when used against brawlers in narrow chokepoints where dodging sideways is impossible.
