PLAYSTYLE

How Jett works

She is strongest when she creates an opening for the team: challenge a defended angle, force attention and use Tailwind to relocate.

PRACTICAL GAMEPLAN

What to do during a round

Before a site hit, coordinate a flash or recon tool from a teammate. Use Cloudburst to hide an exposed crossing, take the first fight and dash to a planned safe position.

ABILITIES EXPLAINED

Abilities & ultimate

What each ability does and when to use it in a real match.

01Basic

Cloudburst

Throw a short-lived smoke that cuts a sightline long enough to cross or reposition.

02Basic

Updraft

Launch upward to reach an unexpected vertical position or combine with other movement.

03Signature

Tailwind

Prepare and trigger a rapid dash to enter space or disengage after contact.

04Ultimate

Blade Storm

Equip precision knives for direct fights; accurate use can reward eliminations.

Passive / unique resource

Drift allows Jett to slow her descent, giving extra control when landing after aerial movement.

ULTIMATE GUIDE

When to activate the ultimate

Blade Storm provides accurate throwing knives and can change the economy of a round. Favor controlled single-knife shots, and remember the alternate throw has different reset behavior.

A common mistake to avoid

Dashing into unscouted territory without support often gives the defenders a free elimination. Mobility is not a substitute for clearing corners.
