Jett (Korean: 제트; codename Wushu, Hawk, and Woosh, real name Joon-hee) is an Agent in VALORANT.

Profile

Biography

“

Representing her home country of South Korea, Jett's agile and evasive fighting style lets her take risks no one else can. She runs circles around every skirmish, cutting enemies before they even know what hit them.

”

From Korea comes Jett, an agile fighter who prioritizes movement over everything. Her abilities include a teleportation-based dash and an updraft that lets her reach higher ledges. She also has a smokebomb ability to hinder sightlines and a powerful Bladestorm ultimate that deals moderate-to-heavy damage and remains accurate even while she's moving.

Jett is one of the few Agents with a passive ability. Holding the jump key while in the air will allow Jett to glide and slow her descent. Jett's Ultimate allows her to wield several throwing knives that deal moderate damage and kill on headshots. Getting a kill replenishes your daggers and you can choose to throw them one at a time or throw all remaining daggers in a short-ranged burst, but will cost you to lose your knives even after a kill.

Personality

“	Berkas:JettMatchStart1.mp3   "Think you can keep up? Who am I kidding? You know you can't keep up." — Jett (Match Start)

The wind is commonly known for being cool, but Jett is an aggressive agent who has a distinctive, sarcastic personality. Jett also has a cheeky, childish "in-your-face" attitude, seen commonly giving insults for feats she makes on the team and is always spouting her sheer amount of arrogance. Her self-confidence may feel as if she is disregarding her comrades' safety, but she has recognized that it is best to play with a team, albeit with some reluctance. She does show a much more friendly personality towards teammates.

Her youth is apparent as she animatedly chats with her allies, and she can sometimes spitball whenever she's excited to share ideas.

Appearance

Jett is a fair-skinned, short girl, being the smallest of the VALORANT agents. She has white hair, which she ties in a bun on the back. Her bangs are rather long and remain stably locked. Her eyes are a shade of blue, and she looks like she wears eyeliner. Jett's armor has multiple symbols associated with wind such as the swirl on her right shoulder pad. Her blue, sleeveless jacket features a stylized depiction of the Tailwind logo through some clouds. The icons on the backs of her gloves is the same icon on the lip of her hoodie and bottom edge of her crop top. A sash and two kunai can be seen along her right hip belt. Jett's shoes have a triangular whirl on the outer side of the heel and a smooth "V" stamped on the back heel.

When using her Radiant powers to manipulate the wind, whorls of white air wrap around Jett's arms as markings which can seen in game and in the cinematics. In "Retake," Jett had an alternative version of her outfit with long sleeves so as to operate in Icebox's cold environment, however this is currently not a feature in-game.
