Agent guide

Gameplay tips

1
Dash immediately after getting a pick. Reposition before enemies trade you.
2
Updraft into Tailwind for vertical plays. Attack from angles enemies don't expect.
3
Cloudburst smokes are short but instant. Use them to cross dangerous sightlines.
4
Blade Storm is perfectly accurate while moving. Combine with Updraft for aerial kills.
5
Jett is the best Operator agent. Take aggressive peeks and Dash to safety after a shot.

Strengths

Tailwind dash is the best escape ability for aggressive Operator play
Unmatched vertical mobility with Updraft

Weaknesses

Dash requires a kill or activation to reset, so you can be punished on a whiff
Smokes are extremely short-lived and not reliable for site takes
Very aim-dependent and ineffective if you're not winning duels
