Fuze myths

Fuze is not a vertical op. Cluster charges go through floors (and reinforced hatches since Y6S3), so he has real vertical utility (FIXED in model; keep).
Jäger or Wamai hard-counter Fuze. One device stops one of five sub-grenades; it takes several to stop a charge.

Key Fuze facts (Y11S3)

Can be deployed on reinforced surfaces since Update 6.3.0 (Sept 2021); drill time 2 s since 7.3.0 (Sept 2022). (since Y6S3 / Y7S3)
The charge burrows through unreinforced walls, floors and armor panels: he can drop clusters into a site from the floor above (vertical utility, not a hole to drop through). (since launch)
Each ADS or Mag-NET only stops one sub-grenade; multiple are needed to stop a charge. The charge itself can destroy a Mag-NET. (since Y4S4)
Can't activate if Fuze or the charge is inside Mute's jammer radius; a charge placed on a Bandit/Kaid-electrified surface is destroyed. (since launch)
Maestro's Evil Eye laser and gunfire destroy a planted charge. (since Y3S4)
