Zofia myths
- Wamai > Zofia is missing. Real counter: the model has it only through the generic proj catch, which is right in kind.
Key Zofia facts (Y11S3)
- Impact grenades act like normal impacts (open soft walls/floors and unreinforced hatches); no projectile size, so they fit through bullet holes.
- Concussion grenades detonate within 3 m of an enemy and disorient; they make Clash vulnerable like a melee strike.
- Jäger's ADS takes out her grenades; Wamai's Mag-NETs redirect both types (two nets catch both).
- Impacts cannot open reinforced walls or hatches.
- Pro presence: played in 30% 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)
