The Operator Is Your Best Friend
Ever since Valorant was released, almost all Operator players have been using Jett. It’s no secret that Jett is one of the best agents you can use in Valorant if you like playing the Op.
One of the best ways to take advantage of the Operator when using Jett is aggressively peeking. She’s one of the few agents who can get away with very aggressive and cheeky angles on the Operator because of her Tailwind dash.
You can also use your Updraft to jump on top of boxes or structures to create unique angles. These are just some of the things you have to keep in mind to become a better Valorant Jett player.
Blade Storm Is as Powerful as Any Other Weapon
Jett’s Blade Storm ultimate takes one headshot, three body shots, or four leg shots to kill. This makes it on par, if not better, than rifles like the Vandal or Phantom if you can hit your shots.
If your team’s economy is running low, it’s best to use your ultimate and buy a weapon for your team. This gives you a higher chance of winning that round. It also doesn’t put you at a massive disadvantage because of how powerful your ultimate is.
Your Blade Storm can also be used on save rounds as a way to try and steal the round from the enemy team. It isn’t going to ruin your team’s economy while still giving you a solid chance of winning on eco.

Always Prepare your Dash Before Peeking
A common mistake that most new Valorant Jett players make is not activating their Tailwind before making an aggressive play, which often leads to them taking damage or getting killed before they can get your dash off in time.
Remember: You need to activate your Tailwind twice before you can dash away.
Dash Into Your Smoke
Jett’s Tailwind is one of the best ways to create space for your team. However, simply dashing into a site can leave you vulnerable at times, especially when enemies are holding safe angles.
The best way to keep yourself safe before dashing is to throw a Cloudburst to the area you want to dash to. Then, all you have to do is activate your dash while moving your mouse around to gather information about the site.
In the end, you should have dashed into your smoke, which gives you some protection and a bit of time to think about what your next move is going to be.
Best Ways to use your Dash
While Jett’s abilities are all powerful in their own right, there’s no denying that Tailwind is her bread and butter. So, here are some of the best ways that you should be using your dash to become a better Valorant Jett player.
Best ways to use Tailwind on Attackers:
- Use your dash to set up aggressive picks and get to safety.
- Use your dash to enter the site and create space for your team.
- You can use your dash to chase down enemies.

- Use your dash to get early picks at the start of rounds.
- You can use your Tailwind to avoid getting hit by a utility.
