Zofia guide

Introduction

So, here’s Zofia’s guide. To be honest, I didn’t like her. But the community did. Zofia is similar to Ash in some aspects, but she’s also quite different from her in others. Her role is supportive and sometimes - assaultive. Her speed won’t let you rush your enemy, but she can be very useful for her teammates during rush. My thoughts and ideas about Zofia are conveyed below.

This guide is created for new players and those who want to improve their skill and rank.

Any criticism is welcome.

Have a nice day!

Description

Zofia

GROM
Offence

Armor:medium
Speed:medium























Gadget:
«KS79 LIFELINE»
KS79 LIFELINE makes use of electronically triggered projectile technology that can fire both concussion and impact ammunition. Since multiple grenades are superposed in the gun barrel, reloading magazines are no longer necessary, resulting in unmatched efficiency. The concussion ammunition delivers a 170-decibel shockwave that impairs hearing and causes a dizzying effect. The impact ammunition bulldozes walls in an instant, so brace yourselves for an explosive assault.

“I still remember what my father said to me that day. ‘Your decisions will determine the rest of your life,’ he said, ‘Leaders learn to make the hard ones quickly.’ He took out his pocket watch and timed me.’

Weapons

LMG-E

Damage: 32 (27 with silencer)
RPM: 720
Capacity: 150

As for me, this is a gun for fun. The recoil is quite high if you use ACOG.

M762

Damage: 45 (38 with silencer)
RPM: 730
Capacity: 30

Your main choice, the recoil is easily controlled, RPM is slightly higher than LMG’s.

RG15

Damage: 38 (32 with silencer)
RPM: 1
Capacity: 15

Gadgets

Breaching charges

Zofia can use mines and breaching charges, and both fit her playstyle. The choice is yours. If you’re going to breach the point or explode stuff - pick breaching charges.

Mine

Mine fits supportive players. Zofia can handle this role too. There’s a lot of information about mines in my previous guide:

KS79 LIFELINE

Now let’s talk about Zofia’s main ability and some tricks.

-Zofia can revive herself when she’s injured. She will have 1 hp after the revive. You can’t revive yourself if you were injured by Frost’s trap or Caveira’s pistol.
-Concussion effect from her sister’s mines last less for her than for other characters.

Her grenade launcher has 2 breaching grenades and 4 concussion grenades. There’s no need to reload it after the shot, so you can just spam those grenades.

Now let’s take a look at tactics.

BREACHING GRENADES

Breaching walls/barricades/other stuff

The most intuitive use of breaching grenades. Making entrances, destroying barricades, Castle’s doors and windows, traps, shields, barbed wire. In a nutshell - creating safe passes for you and your team.

Destroying floors/ceilings

Like many other characters, Zofia is able to smoke out enemy who is sitting above/below. You might want to let Buck take care of this, but you can do it yourself if it’s required. With these breaching grenades you can destroy the entire floor so that the defence doesn’t feel all that confident. :D

Finishing the enemy

Zofia’s grenades don’t travel straightforward - they fly along the arc. You can use it. If you have injured your enemy behind some cover and there’s no possibility to finish him with you regular weapon, you can simply take your grenade launcher and shoot the cover if it’s breakable or shoot above it if it’s not.
It’s also worth mentioning that these grenades explode as soon as they touch any surface, so sometimes you can shoot the wall behind the injured enemy to finish him.

CONCUSSION GRENADES

Stunning your opponent

It’s really simple - just shoot towards your opponent to concuss him.
But there’re different ways of doing this.

Stunning through drone holes and other holes

Just shoot your grenade through the hole. It’s also important to remember that the grenade bounces from surfaces and explodes as soon as it find the enemy - or after a short period of time. If the enemy is straightly behind the wall - you will probably be stunned too.

Stunning behind corners

I’ve already mentioned that the grenades bounce from walls. So here you should remember grenade throwing from CS:GO. The principle is just the same - you should launch the concussion grenade with bouncing it from the wall.

Finding your opponent

The grenade explodes as soon as it finds an enemy. I think you’ve already guessed what’s next. You should just shoot behind the covers where the enemy might be - if it explodes very quick it means that this is the cover you need. :D It’s very useful in big rooms when you have no info.

Control

4 grenades is big amount, especially if you shoot them with some interval so that the enemy isn’t able to approach you. It might come in handy during the defuser planting. You can just stop the enemy from leaving some room or entering yours.

Bandit countering

The grenade stops any actions. And so it does stop bandit when he’s trying to place his gadget. If there’s a drone hole or a hole above the wall you can try to spam the room behind this wall with your grenades. The bandit won’t be able to place his gadget and your team will easily burn the wall. It’s a cool feature in theory but in fact you can accidentally stun your teammates. It’s important to learn the trajectory of the grenade so that it doesn’t bounce back or stun your teammates.

Conclusion

Zofia is a powerful character, especially if you get used to her grenade launcher. The choice of grenades it not represented well, you should always take a close look to understand what grenade are you using now. It doesn’t happen with Capitao - you can always realise what type of arrow are you using at the moment. I hope Ubi will change this since this is my main problem with Zofia. It’s a universal character who can be both supportive and assaultive. She’s worth taking - even if she’s your first 25k operative.
