Building Sander in SOULS is making a huge impact on the performance and if you progress fruther to the higher chapters and don’t have everything in place with this hero, you set yourself up for a failure. For that reason I have below all things you have to mind when building Sander to not get into trouble.
Current Ranking – is Sander S-Tier, A-Tier, or D-Tier?!
Please also check out my frequently updated tier list of all heroes in SOULS here.
Best Position for Sander
Position plays a huge role when setting up your lineup and putting Sander in the wrong spot can have fatal consequences in SOULS. I know that the lineup has to adjust to the setup you’re facing, but in 90% or more of the times you want to place Sander in the MidBack row of your lineup.
Best Rune Setup(s) for Sander
Now let’s have a looka t the rune setup that you should run Sander with. Of course, with all the differet runes, substats and divine options, there are a lot of different setups possible so we strictly tested Sander with the different setups to show you which ones you want to go for.
Best Runes
The first thing you want to look at is what rune type you run, and there is a clear priority from our tests with Sander:
Best Substats
But just the best rune is not worth too much if you don’t fit the right substats on it. Through enhancing you will unlock more substat options but they get assigned randomly (the amount depends on the rarity of the rune).
Once you have the rune at the max level, you can then use the Change Option to select a substat you randomly change to another one:
Here are the substats you should prioritize (use the change option as often as needed to finally get the correct ones on it):
AllClash

How to unlock
Rune Divine Upgrades
When refining and changing substats on a legendary rune, there is a small chance (around 5%), that you also unlock the Divine Upgrade, which adds a new ability to the rune. This is elementary for the success of your hero in higher chapters and need to work along their kit as well. In the case of Sander these are the Divine Upgrades that you’re looking for:

Absolutely make sure to get his Penetration to 100%
Artifacts
Artifacts are the latest addition to SOULS and they let you improve certain parts of your heroe’s kit so they need to match certain traits and the class of your hero which can make it sometimes a little messy to see what artifacts work well and which ones not – so we tested them all and rank them so you can see exactly which ones are the best and which ones work alright. There are artifacts for all rarities here so no matter how progressed you are (I mean you have to beat Stage 12-40 to unlock them) you will find some here that will work with Sander:

Conclusion
I hope this overview helped you building your Sander to full potential and I will extend this guide in the future for other building options. If you have further questions, please post a comment below and I will be happy to reply.
and then
Is there any benefit to having more than 100% penetration?
Also, when looking at your runes and it says x1 blue x2 purple x2 red, do you mean that we should only have 2 substats of that particular one (preferably red legendary) and then the other 2 substats should be the other two lines you listed below? So in this case, 2 penetration, 1 attack, 1 critical strike all red (legendary) and then, of course, the divine rune ability?
