How to play Jett properly?

At first we have to tell you about the agent. Jett is suitable for less mobile players who like running around the map and creating space for their team. However, you should never forget about shooting as it will come in handy at initial shooting.

Jett is perfect for battle 1 vs 1, shootings and outflanking thanks to his skillset.

Main tips that can help you while playing Jett:

• The agent has a passive skill — an ability to slide when you press the jump button. Use it to catch the dynamics and avoid getting damage from the fall.
• Spend time on mastering Tailwind. You should pay attention to change the direction of the smokescreen to apply the ability from shelters. Besides, Tailwind has the shortest active time in comparison to other smoke grenades so the precision is the key factor to get the maximum profit.
• Learn to use Tailwind and Updraft at the same time to get the best out of rapid movements around the map.
• We should not forget that when flying up, your pools will fly to the “milk” so we should take care of mastering the mechanics.
• Try to use the ultimate ability carefully and aim precisely to restore the amount of blades.

Jett is a perfect agent for aggressive players. However, its popularity doesn’t need to be introduced. Even two years and a half later and after significant corrections, the agent is still in demand on the professional stage.

However, the player has to put in loads of effort to enhance their skills and learn to use Jett’s skills. Besides, you should know the map really well, using all opportunities for such abilities as Updraft and Tailwind.

To sum up, Jett is a signature duelist who creates a space for the team and participates in initial shooting if abilities are used properly. Besides, apart from Chamber, Jett was not a signature agent for snipers. But before you start a match, you should do a quick run through the training arena and find an optimal combination for a proper game.
