Despite all the nerfs over the years, Jett is still one of the best VALORANT<\/em> agents. If you haven\u2019t noticed yet, she is the only character with a real passive ability\u2014and the community isn\u2019t sure why this inconsistency exists.\u00a0<\/p>
On March 31, a Redditor highlighted<\/a> Jett\u2019s passive ability to drift without the use of any abilities as a subtle advantage no other VALORANT<\/em> agent<\/a> has. \u201cIt’s a cool ability that doesn’t give that big of an advantage but still is fun and makes her character feel more rounded off as it fits within her theme, I wonder why no other agent has one of those?\u201d they wrote, bringing several players together for an interesting discussion.<\/p>
While Jett may seem to be the only VALORANT<\/em> agent with a real passive, it\u2019s not \u201ctechnically\u201d true, as Riot designer penguin indicated in a comment<\/a>. \u201cPhoenix’s “heal off of his own fire” is also technically a passive!\u201d he wrote. In fact, according to the wiki page for the game, only some agents have passive or passive-like abilities. These include Jett\u2019s Drift, Astra\u2019s Astral Form, Fade\u2019s Terror Trail, Neon\u2019s Energy Bar, Viper\u2019s Fuel and Toxin, Phoenix\u2019s Heating Up, and Reyna\u2019s Soul Harvest.<\/p>
Besides these passives, one player highlighted<\/a> an interesting passive mechanic about Yoru\u2014his hands glow when an enemy Yoru equips a charge of Gatecrash\u2014and it enlightened several veterans and new players alike. If you were to consider Raze\u2019s satchels, only she can boost herself with Blast Packs, which is also technically a passive.\u00a0<\/p>
\u201cVALORANT<\/em> passives might be something like (and I’m absolutely NOT advocating for these to become a thing) not taking fall damage, less flinch when getting shot, planting\/defusing the spike faster, more ammo reserves, faster swap speed, etc. All that to say, a passive ability should be innate to a character, not their other abilities,\u201d they wrote as part of a long comment<\/a>. <\/p>
Well, now you know why Jett will never die<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
