The first thing you should learn if you want to be a pro Jett is to learn what her role is in the team. Jett is a duelist agent and is usually the first one to enter the site to clear it from enemies and make it easier for your team to enter the site.

As a Jett player, you must clear angles and give information to your teammates after you go in so that they can assist you accordingly.

One of Jett's skills is the updraft, which gives you the ability to fly up in the air, and it is a major part of her playstyle. With that in mind, you should look for spots on every map where you can utilize your updraft.

An updraft can be used to disorient your enemies when entering and can also be used to catch enemies off guard against a wall. Updraft can also be used to escape from tricky situations, as it will make it harder for enemies to shoot you in the air.

Learning how to use tailwind effectively with Jett is essential when playing Jett. Tailwind is one of the best movement skills in the game as it lets you play aggressively with safety in mind.

Learning your opponent's pattern in attacking or defending is key to knowing when you should use your tailwind ability.

You should only use Tailwind when you are sure that you want to push enemies, as once you use it, there will only be a certain time frame where you can use it.

Also, with tailwind, Jett can peek around corners without a trade partner, as she could just dash to safety if reinforcement comes.

22. Learn Cloudburst Spots

Learning Jett's default defense playstyle is a must if you want to improve your Jett gameplay. Because of her dash, Jett's defensive plan is different from other agents' because she can play aggressive from the start.

One of the things that separates an average Jett and a pro Jett is their positioning every round. With her abilities, she can be anywhere on the map, so be sure to change your position from time to time to keep enemies guessing.

15. Learn Smoke Ninja Defuse

Jett's smoke can be used in a lot of ways. But one essential trick you should learn is the ninja defuse trick.

To do this, you simply smoke the spike and proceed to defuse it. One smoke is equivalent to half the bar, so use another smoke after getting it to half, then proceed to continue the defuse. This can also be done when your teammate is defusing the spike.

This can also be used to trick your opponents. Instead of defusing the spike, you can then peek at the enemy and catch them off guard.

14. Learn The Dash Rush

One of the best ways to enter a site with Jett is with her Dash Rush combo. Simply put a smoke in the site and dash into it to accomplish this.

This will distract your enemies with your presence, making it easier for your other teammates to get into the site. You can also catch enemies off guard when you get out of the smoke, killing them with ease.

Always remember to give information to your teammates when you dash for them to have an easier time when they enter.

13. Learn The Updraft Dash Combo

Learning the updraft dash combo is essential when entering the site as Jett. This combo not only makes it easier for you to enter the site, but also makes it harder for enemies to shoot you with your speed.

This combo is much more effective when there are elevated parts of the map, as it can disorient your enemies' crosshair placement, making them miss their first shot.

12. Learn To Jump While Using Ultimate

Jett's ultimate is still accurate when you are moving or jumping. With this in mind, make it a habit to jump every time you peek with your daggers to make it harder for your opponents to hit you.

Be sure to have different jump timings or distances every time to confuse your enemies even further.

11. Be Slippery When You Use Your Ultimate

Jett has a lot of movement abilities, so it is only natural for you to be a hard target for your enemies. With that in mind, you should be extra slippery when you are using your ultimate, as you are still accurate even though you are moving.

When using your ultimate, you should combine it with your updraft and dashes to make it harder for enemies to hit you.

10. Know When To Use Ultimate Alternative Fire

https://youtu.be/OJieOHpbfIY?t=256

Jett's ultimate has an alternative fire which releases all your daggers at once. When you use the alternative fire, keep in mind that you will not get your daggers back even if you kill your enemy. The alternative fire is very effective during close encounters.

With that in mind, only use the alternative fire either if you only have one enemy left or if only one enemy is nearby.

9. Learn The Teleport Trick

https://youtu.be/OJieOHpbfIY?t=343

Because of her smoke, Jett is one of the few agents who can play around the teleporter. Once you teleport, you can then use your smoke to open the door and catch your enemies off guard.

You can also use your smoke to block your enemies' line of sight when you open the door to get an advantage.

8. Keep The High Ground

https://youtu.be/OJieOHpbfIY?t=378

With Jett's updraft, it is easy for you to get the high ground if the area allows it. Being on the high ground does not only make it easier to hit headshots, but also makes it harder for enemies to guess where you are positioned every round.

7. Learn The Updraft Cancel

https://youtu.be/kEM4wICyeYU?t=107

The updraft cancel is one of the few tricks you can use with the updraft. To cancel an updraft, simply updraft to a low ceiling area to immediately drop.

This can be used to trick enemies into looking upwards and disorienting their crosshair placement, giving you an advantage when you peek at an angle.

6. Learn Animation Cancel

The gun pull-out animation after your dash takes a long time and can be the reason you lose the gun battle. This is prevalent when you are using your dash aggressively and facing enemies suddenly.

To do an animation cancel, after you dash, instantly use your smoke ability and let go. This will make it so that your gun pulls out quicker, leaving you with more room to fight your opponent faster.

5. Learn To Dash Clear

Jett's dash can also be used as an information gathering tool when you go into the site. To do this, simply use your dash on to the site and flick your mouse left and right quickly. You can then gather information as you dash to the site.

Be sure to give out the information to your teammates as soon as possible so they don't die to the enemies when they enter the site.

4. Play Around Your Smokes

https://youtu.be/uFuODCeFpyA?t=163

Jett's smoke can be used both aggressively and defensively. Which is why you should learn how to play around with your smoke no matter what the situation is.

Get into the habit of placing a shield in front of you after killing an enemy. This will help you escape from other enemies and can also be used to repeek and surprise your enemies.

3. Use Your Ultimate Efficiently

https://youtu.be/uFuODCeFpyA?t=259

Jett's ultimate is basically a free gun, which can help you when you are low in economy. If you are getting lots of kills every round, you can basically have an ult almost every round.

With this in mind, if you and your team are low on funds, you can use your ultimate during save rounds to still have a chance of winning the round. You can also drop other teammates a rifle and use your ult instead.

Be sure to always check the economy of your team to get the perfect timing on when to use your ult.

2. Learn Off Angles

https://youtu.be/uFuODCeFpyA?t=431

One of Jett's strong points is that she can basically get to any spot on the map with ease. With this in mind, you should learn different off-angles on every map to catch enemies off guard and get an easy kill.

Be sure to use different off-angle spots from time to time, as enemies can pre-fire and check that angle if you use it too often.

1. Combo With Your Teammate

Jett is a self-sufficient duelist that can get killed just with her own abilities, but getting help with other agents' abilities will only make her stronger. With this in mind, combo your abilities with other agent ones such as Omen, Breach, and Skye Flashes, among many more.

Be sure to tell your teammates during the buy phase, as speed and precision are key to catching enemies off guard.

That’s it! Those are the 25 tips that can elevate your game with Jett. Be sure to always practice and put in the work, and you’ll be radiant in no time!
