Now that the Act V wanderers are out today and officially balanced I will get around to updating the sheet when I get the time, but this may not be immediately.

Originally written as a fun thing for me to use, so it's me talking to myself. I'm not writing a dry thesis here or a spreadsheet I would do for work, so I'm chatting to the user. Lots of my steam guides are like this I'm afraid, lol. :-D

The content is solid, but I'm not sure why you felt the need to repeatedly incorporate the 'lol' thing so often in your commentary, as it was very unhelpful and distracting compared to the actually useful parts.

Added a key to the tierlist for clarity.

Fair! Yeah, certainly true that some characters require wayy more support than others before their kits begin working. Also, thanks for responding! I appreciate it. Tbh, even I'm a little guilty about not fully understanding him, because it was only until I was looking over this post to respond when I realized his dodge part of his kit. And, perfectly valid way to rate these!

Not to worry @C-Vale. It has been mentioned on the Discord that Sandeep is secretly a dodgetank in disguise and that's fine; but it's sort of super weird that his kit doesn't immediately suggest that at first, or even second glance.

My ratings try to summarise how useful they are at what their initial kit suggests, and how hard it is to do their missions. So since you need quite a lot of relic support for him to really shine as a dodgetank, I try and take that into account. He also has to compete with Alexandre being the yardstick in that role, and since he has no taunt without an expensive boss relic, its more he's a tough support.

But I'll try this build a bit more; and add an addendum as needed, I'm always happy to change ratings.

Is he top tier? Prrobably not, but he's a good if funky all-rounder who can perform a lot of functions alright, and those Nirvana stacks can be a godsend for blocking attacks that would shred some of the frailer characters in the game without needing to use Kevlar vests on everyone. A-and, I'm really sorry if this sounds aggressive, I swear I don't mean this as any kind of attack, just wanting to let you and anyone else reading the guide to understand how to achieve this guy's true potential, because he was admittedly a puzzle to solve when I was trying to figure out what exactly his purpose was, buut it turns out he's just a general all-purpose defensive character that specializes in anything that's not taunting or revival. (2/2 because steam character limit)

Ohh, rad!
Only comment I have is that I think you're misunderstanding the position of Sandeep. He's frontline. His spirit shield and already high discipline means he can be quite a tanky menace with Energy Bracer and Shaolin Robe, and he can scale that even higher if you keep Incense on, due to his Samadahi making it scale off of Wisdom. Manta's level 2 and 3 healing and resist help him tank more, and the payoff for all that is how he applies Doom Prophecy every time he's hit, and 2 stacks every time he dodges, so you can even put Acrobatics on him for even more durability and debuffing! I personally use him with a Judge that has nigh-every debuff relic and a banker, which despite the fact it was originally a meme team to put everyone I could call 'just some guy' in a party, it genuinely does bring out the strongest sides of both him and the Judge, seeing as all those debuffs going around make Gavel and Judgement kinda hit like a truck.
