Strategies for Attacker Side
Jett thrives on the attacker’s side. The aim is to cause chaos and create as much space as possible for your team when you Dash onto the site. Remember, your Tailwind and Cloudburst smokes are the most important tool in your arsenal.
You can use those smokes to smoke off common angles or the place where you will dash onto the site. When you do, put another smoke down to cover yourself and cause paranoia in your enemies. Because all eyes will be on the smoke, your teammates can safely enter the site and kill the enemies, or you can trade them.
This is the most common strategy professional players use to enter as Jett. Alternatively, you can combine the Updraft and Dash abilities together to float onto boxes to break the crosshair placement of your enemies. Utilize your Bladestorm on Eco rounds to do the most damage or possibly win the round.
For most plants, do not be afraid to take more space, get set up in off angles, or fight to delay them using your smokes. The key is to get creative when playing her.
Strategies for Defender Side
The objective for Jett players on the defensive side is simple. Take early contact and gather information about the whereabouts of the enemies. Peek common angles in different ways to get kills and escape with your Tailwind so that the enemies do not trade you.
Use the Operator. It is vital for a Jett player to utilize the Operator whenever they are on defensive rounds. Sure you have one bullet but it is easy to get away and survive even if you miss a shot. Take aggressive angles and make sure to play on different sections of the map every round so enemies are caught off-guard.
Tips and Tricks
Here are a few tips and tricks you can use as a Jett player to get better at the game with her. Remember, Jett is a simple agent to play, but there are tons of combinations you can try out with her.
- Make sure you communicate with your team when attacking. Ask for flashes or any other utility that will give you an edge in battle.
- Practice your Knives. Your Blade Storm can be a lethal tool. If you constantly practice with it, you are bound to make Eco rounds lethal for your team. Those blades do 50 damage per body shot, so make it count.
- Make sure to prepare your dash before you take an aggressive peak. Peaking dry can cause you to die immediately and your teammates might not necessarily be able to trade you.
- Use yourself as bait. Activate your dash, peek around and corner, and retreat. The enemy might think the danger has passed but your teammate will now be in your place to take the kill on the startled enemy.
- Make sure to jump, wide swing, updraft, dash, and use whatever tool you have to make yourself a hard target to hit when the Blade Storm is active. It is easy to get kills on an enemy who stands still.
