Perhaps the most famous and well anticipated agent in VALORANT so far is none other than Jett, the most selfish and flashy of the current agents available at Closed Beta launch. Learn how each of her abilities work, but also the ways in which using them can actually hinder your performance. A strong Jett player can Ace the enemy team, but a weaker one will just make themselves look silly as they fumble around with her combos as they try to navigate around a fight.
