Jett’s Cloudburst smoke ability can be curved in the direction of your crosshair. Use this to your advantage by throwing the cloudburst in site entry points or common angles where the opponent can be holding position. You can also Dash into the smoke to take on enemies by surprise.

2) Tailwind for peeking

As mentioned earlier, Jett’s Tailwind allows her to propel towards the direction that she is moving. This ability is incredibly useful to evade from intense gun fights or from snipers. You can use this ability to take a quick peek from areas like the A-Main, B-Main, or Mid-Top to gather info and retreat to a safer spot. This ability is also useful for dodging Cypher Trip Wires and Sage Walls.

3) Updraft for a higher ground

The Updraft ability allows Jett to propel herself upwards and helps her dodge Brimstone or Phoenix’s mollies, Sage’s Slow Orb, or even Gekko’s Mosh grenades. You can also use Jett’s Updraft to climb into higher vantage points like the boxes in the B-Market area or the Green Boxes at A-site, giving you a peeker’s advantage. With the combined use of Tailwind, you can quickly retract from that area if your position has been compromised.

4) Proper use of the Blade Storm Ultimate

The throwing knives in Jett’s Blade Storm ULT have high accuracy and players with good aim can make the most of it. With the combination of her movement abilities like the Tailwind and Updraft, you can use the Blade Storm ULT to storm into a particular site and take out enemies from the air itself. However, this type of play needs proper practice and quick reaction to make it happen.


Jett players require a combination of map knowledge, good communication and effective use of Jett’s abilities in Valorant’s Sunset map. Players are encouraged to come up with their set of strategies that suit their playstyle the best.
