Jett (2024)

Jett is of South Korean descent. She was the 10th Agent to join the VALORANT PROTOCOL, and is among the youngest of its members^[1][2].

Jett is often regarded as having a 'toxic' attitude towards people. She prefers to do things her own way, without relying on a team, and is greatly confident in her own abilities. Jett's immense self-confidence can come across as arrogance, and feel as if she is disregarding her comrade's safety, however her voice lines indicate that she is opening up to those around her. They suggest that she does care for her friends, but doesn't know how to show it.

Jett's Radiant powers allow her to control the wind, using it to propel herself, other objects, and levitate to a degree. While she usually uses her powers in a straightforward manner (such as summoning a gust to propel herself upwards with her Updraft), we see from her select animation (in which she levitates one of her daggers in the air and twirls it around) that she can exercise much finer control over the wind when needed.

It is also implied, from her Mirrored Edge Playercard and Fade's dossier about her (see below) that she once summoned a massive storm over the city of Seoul. This hints that her abilities can be lot more powerful and destructive than we've seen as well.

Before she joined the PROTOCOL, Jett used to be a chef, working at a restaurant in Seoul. However, at some point, that restaurant got destroyed due to a severe wind storm (the same one mentioned above), assumed to be caused by Jett herself.

Omega Jett[]

Jett's Ω-Earth counterpart has played a significant role in the game's story, probably being the most featured of all the Omega Agents. She was present in the DUELISTS cinematic, acting as the primary antagonist. Her success in planting an early version of the Spike caused Venice Rising, and the formation of the maps Ascent and The Range as a by-product.

It is important to note that, while α-Jett had indeed been hired into the PROTOCOL before the DUELISTS cinematic took place^[3], she and Phoenix had still not met - this was because, at the time, VALORANT operated differently, focusing on solo missions instead and with limited transparency (for more on how the VP functioned in its earlier days, see the VALORANT PROTOCOL page). Because of this, Phoenix was completely unaware of her existence, which is why he didn't hesitate in chasing her down during the mission (despite not being aware of the existence of the Mirrorverse at this point either).

This event resulted in Jett's image being plastered on the news across the world, causing α-Jett to be shunned and rejected by everyone close to her, believing that she was the one to blame. This conflict causing her to be perceived as guilty, despite being truly innocent, is one of Jett's primary character flaws (as illustrated by her Dossier, see below).

Ω-Jett has had a recurring role in multiple cinematics after DUELISTS. She was seen at the end of the DUALITY cinematic, where she antagonized Ω-Phoenix for failing his mission and letting the Spike get defused. She was also present in the RETAKE cinematic, working with Ω-Viper and Ω-Cypher to defend the Spike from being defused (which she ultimately failed at, getting killed by Yoru). It was later confirmed that this was a 'permanent' death, and that she was revived later^[4][5][6]. Finally, she also made an appearance in REVELATION, first present in the plot sequence at the Korean Restaurant, and then again in the final shot as one of the Agents sent to fight against α-Harbor and α-Astra.

Ω-Jett has also played a major role in Pearl, helping defend the city from the rising tide before the dome was constructed. This is shown in the Garden of Heroes: Jett playercard.

Her actions as one of the saviors of the city also earned her a statue in the Garden of Heroes, visible from Pearl's defender spawn, along with an announcement dedicated to her which plays when near there.

Radiant War[]

Not much is known about Jett's actions in the Radiant War, but it is implied (from her buried Kunai in the VERSUS // KAY/O + Brimstone Card, see below) that she died there.

Dossier[]

Fade released a dossier about Jett in Patch 4.07:

Jett's dossier focuses on her abilities and the impact she has had on the world.

The blackmailer states how Jett is always on the run, even though she is innocent. She states that she was affiliated with a restaurant that was destroyed, implying that she caused the storm that did it.

In reference to the events of DUELISTS, Fade mentions the blame of the Rise of Venice fell on α-Jett, as people were unaware of the existence of Ω-Earth. Her face was on the news worldwide, she was labeled a "dangerous radiant", and those close to her were afraid and disappointed.

Appearance[]

Jett's armor has multiple symbols associated with wind, such as the swirl on her right shoulder pad. Her jacket features a stylized depiction of a Tailwind through some clouds. The icons on the backs of her gloves are the same as the one 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, glowing blue swirls wrap around Jett's arms, as seen in game and in the cinematics. The RETAKE cinematic depicts Jett with long sleeves, however this is currently not a feature in-game.

One of Jett's most distinguishing Features is that she is canonically the second shortest Agent^[8][9][10], with only Neon being shorter than her. This cannot, however, be clearly noticed in game, since all the player models have been altered to be the same size for gameplay balance reasons.

Notes[]

• Jett is the only Agent to have three different dev codenames, which are 'Woosh', 'Wushu', and 'Hawk'.
• Jett's VA, Shannon Williams, has claimed on Twitter that Jett is Korean-American^[12]. However, Riot ParmCheesy confirmed on December 12th, 2022 in a small QnA on the VALORANT Lore // Art server that Jett is fully Korean, not Korean-American.^[13]
• Shannon has also said in a Twitch stream highlight that Jett's voice was supposed to be Korean-British, but that didn't "sound beautiful" according to the directors, causing a change to her current Korean-American voice.
• In a scrapped voice line, Jett says she wishes that people would stop thinking that 'what happened to Venice' was her fault. This would later line up with the reveal of Omega Earth.
• In a removed voiceline, Raze referred to Jett as 'Joon-Hee'. This has been retconned, with her real name being Han Sunwoo (Sunwoo Han, when Anglicized) according to her dossier.
• As with every other Agent, Jett has a Spotify playlist:
