Twitch: counters, combos and tips
Attacker · Wolfguard · anti-utility, hard-breach support, intel
Twitch is countered by Mozzie (hacks the shock drone), Mute (jammer takes control away) and Tubarão (zoto freezes the drone). Twitch counters Goyo (pops the Volcán canister), Lesion (clears Lesion's traps) and Bandit (zaps batteries). Twitch pairs best with Thermite, Hibana and Ace.
Twitch's gadget: RSD Model 1 Shock Drone (x2)
Two shock drones whose lasers (3 each, 1 recharge per 15 s, 5 dmg) destroy most electronic gadgets and Black Mirror canisters from a distance; a drone, so Mute jams it, Mozzie hacks it and Tubarão freezes it.

Twitch myths
- Vigil > Twitch. Vigil only hides from her camera; he does nothing to stop her zapping wall denial. At most a strength-1 intel counter.
- Anti-drone does not counter Twitch (missing counter). True gap: Mute, Mozzie and Tubarão all stop Shock Drones; the model already scales drone clears by Mute/Mozzie in breach, but not her intel or trap clearing.
Key Twitch facts (Y11S3)
- Lasers destroy most electronics in one hit (cameras, Signal Disruptors, Nitro Cells), bulletproof cams at the weak point, Goyo's canister, Pests, ADS, Mag-NETs.
- Lasers break a Black Mirror gas canister, ejecting the mirror, but the canister is on the defender (deployment) side, so the drone must get into the room.
- Removes Bandit/Kaid electricity and Mute jammers for hard breachers.
- Mute's jammers cut control of the drone; Mozzie's Pests hack it (and can use its laser); Tubarão's Zoto freezes it.
- Lasers cannot disable Clash's CCE shield; shooting Vigil no longer disables his ERC-7; Vigil is invisible on her drone feed.
- Pro presence: played in 19% of all rounds in SiegeGG-tracked matches (time window not stated, likely cumulative, so older operators are favoured). (since siege.gg, read 2026-10-20)
