Jett is one of Valorant's most popular Agents. The wind girl from South Korea is famous for her flashy movement and fast-paced playstyle. Her entire kit revolves around movement and gaining space for your team. She is still one of the most used Agents in Valorant's pro play, and here is why.

An important part of Jett's kit is her verticality. She has two updrafts (Q) which enable her to reach elevated places that other Agents cannot. Combine this with her ultimate, which is completely accurate mid-air, and you can make some insane plays. Valorant players over the years have found numerous double updraft locations where Jett can look over obstacles for an unsuspecting and easy kill. Let us have a look at a few of them.
