The Glitch Grenade is a great counter to abilities such as the [[Healing Beam]], as it provides an opening to attack while the enemy team is unable to be healed. Other breaches of defense include the disabling of the [[Guardian Turret]], [[Gadgets|Mines]], and any Reconnaissance. It is particularly effective at immobilizing Light Builds, neutralizing their mobility specializations such as the [[Evasive Dash]], [[Grappling Hook]], or [[Cloaking Device]]. Additionally, the Glitch Grenade proves to be a significant asset when countering the [[Mesh Shield]], as it can create a vulnerable moment, allowing for precise targeting and potential elimination of the shielded opponent. | The Glitch Grenade is a great counter to abilities such as the [[Healing Beam]], as it provides an opening to attack while the enemy team is unable to be healed.
