Ive been grinding Valorant for about three months now and Im finally sitting at Silver 2, mostly just playing whatever the team needs but I really want to main Jett because her kit just looks so fun to play when you actually know what youre doing. I even bought a skin for her knife yesterday so now I feel like I actually have to be good at her or Im just gonna look like a total clown in my lobbies. I spent like two hours last night watching guides on YouTube and Im honestly more confused than when I started because everyone says something different.

So I was thinking that the dash is obviously the big one right? Like Tailwind is her whole identity and I read on a few forums that you have to learn the timing of that first so you can take aggressive fights and get out. But then I saw this other guide that was saying for lower elo players like me the Cloudburst smokes are actually way more important to master first because if you cant smoke off angles yourself then you are just gonna get headshot the second you dash onto site. My logic was that I should focus on movement first but now Im wondering if Im overthinking it.

And then there is the Updraft stuff... I see some people doing these crazy vertical plays but I feel like I just float there and get shot out of the air like a clay pigeon lol. I really want to know what the actual priority should be for a beginner Jett who is trying to climb out of Silver. Should I be spending my time in the range practicing those quick smoke-and-dash entries or should I just be working on my Blade Storm accuracy since thats basically a free win round if you hit your shots? I feel like my brain is moving in ten directions at once trying to figure out which muscle memory to build first because I dont want to develop bad habits that I have to unlearn later... what did you guys find most helpful when you were first starting out?
