Dokkaebi is countered by Mute, Solis and Tubarão (zoto protects phones in radius). Dokkaebi counters Caveira (hunts down Caveira), Echo (a blown phone ends Yokai access) and Maestro (a blown phone ends his Evil Eye access). Dokkaebi pairs best with Jackal and Lion.
Dokkaebi's gadget: Jegeo Payload (replaced the Logic Bomb in Y11S2)
Since June 2026 a single-target phone hack on an identified defender: they must reset within 7 s or the phone explodes (40 HP + 5 s fire) and they lose phone access (Mozzie, Maestro, Echo, Fenrir, Skopós lose or cripple their gadget). Still hacks dead defenders' phones for 20 s camera access, now at infinite range.

Dokkaebi myths
- Dokkaebi rings every defender at once (Logic Bomb). Logic Bomb was removed in Y11S2; the Jegeo Payload is single-target on identified defenders.
- Vigil is fully immune to Dokkaebi. Not documented: the phone hack still works on an identified Vigil; only camera feeds hide him.
Key Dokkaebi facts (Y11S3)
- Logic Bomb replaced by Jegeo Payload in Update 11.2.0 (June 2, 2026): 1 charge at start, max 5, +1 every 25 s; requires an identified target; 7 s to reset, else 40 HP explosion and 5 s fire and phone lost. (since Y11S2)
- A destroyed phone stops Mozzie (Pests), Maestro (Evil Eye), Echo (Yokai), Fenrir (mines) and Skopós (shell switching) using their gadget for the round. (since Y11S2)
- Y11S2.1 added a 7 s global cooldown; Update 11.2.2 (July 2026) replaced it with a 14 s per-defender cooldown. (since Y11S2.1 / Y11S2.2)
- Y11S3 (Sept 1 2026): the upload needs a continuous connection and can be interrupted, giving counterplay to IQ, Mute and Solis; Impact EMPs replaced with Breach Charges. (since Y11S3)
- Mute's Signal Disruptor and Tubarão's Zoto protect defenders in their radius from the hack; Solis detects her tablet while uploading. (since Y11S2)
- Vigil is not immune to the phone hack itself; his ERC-7 removes him from hacked camera feeds, which also makes him harder to identify (a Jegeo target must be identified). (since Y2S4 behaviour, carried into Y11S2)
