Counters
Rainbow Six counters are gadget interactions, rules of the game rather than statistics, so every pairing here comes from the two operators' own kit pages: the mechanism from whoever wins it, the gadget it beats from whoever brings it.
The Banshee Sonic Defense is bulletproof, so Melusi's page says Attackers have to spend utility on it. Brava's Kludge Drone is that utility, and it hacks rather than shoots.
Melusi's Banshee is bulletproof, so it survives gunfire and not an explosion. Flores drives the RCE-Ratero Charge under it and the bulletproof shell means shooting the charge does not save it.
The Banshee is bulletproof, so it survives rifle fire and not an explosion, and Ash can destroy it from outside the radius where it would have slowed her.
Blackbeard's shield lets him hold an angle, and holding is only strong if he can leave it. A Banshee slows him to a crawl the moment the angle is contested.
Zero places Argus cameras from range and then repositions on the intel, and a Banshee on the route makes every reposition slow and loud.
Common questions
Is Melusi an Attacker or Defender?
Melusi is a Defender in Rainbow Six Siege.
Where do these counters come from?
Rainbow Six's counters are mostly deterministic gadget interactions, rules of the game rather than statistics, so we state them from the two operators' own kit pages with no telemetry needed. A pairing is only written where the winning operator's page names the mechanism, which is why plenty of operators here carry none. Statistical data is based on external APIs and publicly available information. It may differ from official data.
What is the best loadout for Melusi?
NotJoeyBlack, Rasco100 and SINOOS publish loadout picks under their own name, and this page credits each of them rather than averaging them into a single answer. We measure nothing ourselves. The list of what Melusi can equip is the game's own, and is separate from anyone's opinion about it. Statistical data is based on external APIs and publicly available information. It may differ from official data.
