Solis myths

Solis should roam (FIXED to roam). In current pro play her role has 'shifted from roamer to information hub', scanning from safe spots; she flexes but isn't a primary roamer. Roam should stay moderate, not high.
Solis is 'way too OP'. Y9S3 rework nerfed her (pick rate 30% to 6%), then Y10S3.3 buffed her back to a niche intel pick. Strong, not dominant.

Key Solis facts (Y11S3)

Y9S3 rework: the sensor only shows a generic outline in its central area; Overclock (limited charges, refilling over time) identifies devices and refills the battery, but alerts attacker observation tools nearby. (since Y9S3 (Twin Shells))
Detection range 20 m (from 12), Overclock 15 s (from 10), minimum charge to activate 25% (from 50%). (since Y10S3.3 (Oct 2025))
Fixed: Solis could identify attacker devices without Overclock (confirms identification needs Overclock now). (since Y11S2.1 (patch 11.2.1, Jun 23 2026))
Detects: drones in use, Twitch Shock Drones, Brava Kludges (and gadgets she hacked), Flores RCE (and Flores while driving), Zero's Argus cams, Nomad's Airjabs, Grim's hives, Sens's ROU, Ram's undeployed BU-GI, Rauora's panels, breach charges and Thermite/Hibana/Fuze charges, Claymores, the defuser, and Lion, Deimos, Dokkaebi, Iana, Nokk, Finka and Ying while they use their gadgets. Dokkaebi's tablet stays visible during the whole upload since Y11S3.
She can't use her guns while the sensor is up; IQ detects the active headset; Thatcher's EMP and Impact EMPs disable it.
