Mozzie myths

Mozzie counters Glaz. Glaz's Flip Sight is a scope, not a drone; Pests do nothing to him (FIXED).
Mozzie counters Solid Snake. The Soliton Radar is a handheld radar, not a drone; Pests can't touch it.
Mozzie counters Lion. Pests hack only ground recon drones; Lion's EE-ONE-D is not one, and the scan is unaffected.
Mozzie counters IQ. Reversed: IQ's detector finds Pests and hacked drones. Mozzie doesn't touch IQ's gadget.
Mozzie counters Nokk. Nokk has no drone gadget, and her HEL hides her from observation tools, including drones Mozzie has stolen.

Key Mozzie facts (Y11S3)

Pests hack only attacker ground drones: recon drones, Twitch's Shock Drones, Brava's Kludge Drones (and an Echo Yokai that was hacked). Shot directly or left on a surface with a 3 m radius; needs line of sight; the hack takes 3 s. (since Y4S1, current)
A Pest on Flores's moving RCE-RATERO destroys it harmlessly instead of handing it over. (since Y7S1)
A stolen Shock Drone lets Mozzie zap attacker gadgets; a stolen Kludge lets him hack attacker gadgets or restore defender gadgets Brava hacked. Hacked drones ignore barbed wire and Mute's jammers.
Pests are electronic: IQ detects them, Thatcher's EMP disables them and his hacked drones, Twitch's darts and Zero's lasers destroy them, Kali's lance and Flores's blast destroy them, and Brava's Kludge can hack a Pest back.
Dokkaebi's Logic Bomb stops Mozzie from stealing drones while it's active and gives attackers back the feed of hacked drones.
Super Shorty added back as a secondary to help him roam and make plays. (since Y10S4.2 (patch 10.4.2, Jan 20 2026))
