49.4%Jett

The Sage vs Jett matchup in Valorant is a close matchup with a slight statistical edge. Based on 81 competitive matches analyzed, Jett wins 50.6% of the time compared to Sage's 48.1%, a 2.5 percentage point difference. The most significant gap is in fragging ability, where Sage consistently outperforms. In this Sentinel vs Duelist matchup, Jett holds a minor advantage, but Sage can absolutely secure rounds through good positioning and utility timing. The difference is slim enough that coordinated team plays and winning key aim duels can flip the matchup.
Sage vs Jett Fragging Analysis
Jett edges out Sage in a competitive fragging comparison, winning 3 of 5 metrics with notable advantages in kill production, damage output, headshot accuracy. With only a 3-2 margin based on 81 matches analyzed, this Sage vs Jett matchup remains contestable for both sides. Sage shouldn't feel outgunned — the statistical gap is narrow enough that individual skill, positioning choices, and in-game decision making can easily swing specific encounters in Sage's favor.
Avg KDA
1.49Sage
1.24Jett
Sage demonstrates noticeably stronger kill-death-assist performance against Jett, maintaining a 1.49 KDA versus 1.24. This 0.26 point gap reflects Sage's superior ability to secure eliminations while avoiding death in these head-to-head encounters. Jett players facing Sage should prioritize team coordination over solo aggression — look for 2v1 situations, coordinate utility usage with teammates, and focus on trading rather than taking isolated duels where Sage's statistical advantage becomes most pronounced.
Avg Kills
14.8Sage
16.3Jett
Jett substantially outfrags Sage in this matchup, averaging 16.3 kills compared to 14.8 — a difference of nearly 1.5 eliminations per match. When Jett faces Sage, the data clearly shows Jett finding more fragging opportunities and converting them into kills. Sage players should recognize this statistical reality and adjust their approach: play more supportively, focus on enabling teammates, and avoid ego-challenging Jett in situations where your team doesn't need you to take that duel.
Avg Deaths
14.5Sage
15.6Jett
Sage demonstrates markedly better survivability against Jett, recording 14.5 deaths per game versus 15.6. Dying nearly 1.1 fewer times per match gives Sage significantly more impact potential — more opportunities for multi-kills, more presence in clutch rounds, and more economic stability from staying alive. Jett players face a survival deficit that compounds throughout a match, making disciplined positioning and smart disengagements crucial.
DMG/Round
136.2Sage
146.3Jett
Jett significantly outdamages Sage in head-to-head encounters, posting 146.3 ADR versus 136.2. This 10.2 damage-per-round advantage means Jett consistently wins the damage exchange in firefights, either securing kills outright or leaving opponents weak for teammates to clean up. Sage players should avoid prolonged dueling with Jett — instead, look for quick picks with burst damage weapons or rely on ability damage and team crossfires to compensate for the raw gunfight disadvantage.
HS %
28.4%Sage
28.9%Jett
Headshot percentages are remarkably similar between Sage (28.4%) and Jett (28.9%). This indicates both agents' players display equivalent aim precision when these matchups occur, and neither has a systematic accuracy advantage. Duels come down to reaction time, crosshair pre-placement, and micro-positioning rather than one side consistently hitting more heads. Both agents can confidently challenge long-range angles where headshots become decisive.

Attack Side Breakdown
Sage demonstrates a modest attack-side advantage over Jett in this matchup, converting 50.6% of attacking rounds versus 49.2%. While this 1.3 point edge gives Sage slightly better site-taking capability, the gap remains narrow enough that skilled Jett players can overcome it through superior execution and team play.
The data from 81 competitive games suggests Sage's kit provides marginally better tools for attack-side scenarios. This could manifest as slightly more effective entry utility, better post-plant stalling, or superior mid-round adaptability. However, Jett teams shouldn't dramatically alter their attacking approach — instead, focus on tightening execute timing, coordinating utility chains more precisely, and ensuring trades are happening when entries fail. Small improvements in team coordination can easily overcome a 1.3% gap.
When taking entry duels, Sage holds a slight statistical advantage but nothing that should change fundamental approach. Jett players should still take confident entries when they have good information or utility support. The key adjustment is ensuring you're not taking unnecessary 50-50 duels — look for angles where you have an advantage through utility, information, or teammate support. Sage can play slightly more aggressively on entries, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.

In post-plant situations, Sage's slight advantage likely stems from better utility for denying defuses or controlling retake angles. Jett should compensate by being more deliberate about post-plant positioning — take spots that offer escape routes or trade potential rather than hero plays. Stack post-plants with teammates when possible, and use utility efficiently to maximize delay time. The 1.3 point gap can be neutralized through smart post-plant fundamentals.
Defense Side Breakdown
Sage shows slightly better defensive capabilities than Jett, winning 50.8% of defense rounds compared to 49.4%. This 1.3 percentage point edge suggests Sage's kit provides marginally better tools for CT-side play, though the gap remains small enough for skilled Jett players to overcome.
When deciding site assignments, Sage can slightly more confidently take solo anchor roles. Their 1.3% defensive advantage likely stems from better stalling utility, superior information gathering, or more effective site-holding positions. Jett should consider pairing with a teammate on their site rather than solo anchoring, or taking positions that allow early rotates rather than committing to extended holds. The advantage is small but worth considering in close games.
Sage demonstrates marginally better retake capability in this matchup. Whether through superior clearing utility, better post-plant positioning, or stronger clutch mechanics, Sage converts retakes at a slightly higher rate. Jett should focus on retaking with numbers — don't take hero 1v1 retakes against Sage when you can wait for teammates. Sage can be slightly more confident in isolated retake situations, knowing the statistics marginally favor them.
On eco and force buy rounds, the 1.3% gap becomes more pronounced as utility advantages compound. Jett should be more conservative with eco aggression against Sage and prioritize saving for full buys where team utility can compensate for individual disadvantages. Sage can play slightly more aggressively on force buys, knowing their defensive kit provides small but meaningful advantages even with limited economy.
Overall Side Analysis
Sage maintains a consistent but slim advantage across both sides of the map in this matchup, with 50.6% attack win rate and 50.8% defense win rate. While Sage is statistically favored regardless of map side, the margins are close enough that Jett remains highly competitive and can win games through strong individual performance.
Map choice and team composition have minimal impact on this specific matchup outcome. Both agents perform similarly across attack-sided, defense-sided, and balanced maps. Pick based on personal comfort, team needs, and broader composition considerations rather than Sage vs Jett specific factors. The slight Sage advantage doesn't change based on external factors.
For ranked climbing, don't overthink this matchup. The statistical differences are small enough that individual skill, team coordination, and game sense remain the primary factors determining outcomes. Focus on improving your fundamentals on either agent rather than trying to gain edges through matchup knowledge. Both Sage and Jett are viable ranked picks with minimal matchup disadvantage.
Bottom line: this is one of the more balanced agent matchups in Valorant. Sage has a slight statistical edge, but Jett is absolutely viable and can win through skill. If you're comfortable on Jett, don't switch to Sage just for this matchup — the difference is too small to justify changing your agent pool.
Sentinel vs Duelist Dynamics
The Sentinel (Sage) vs Duelist (Jett) dynamic creates asymmetric encounters where each agent brings fundamentally different tools to engagements. Sage's Sentinel abilities serve different purposes than Jett's Duelist kit, meaning direct fights often feature non-equivalent utility exchanges.
Understanding how Sentinel abilities interact with Duelist counterplay is essential for maximizing your agent's potential. Sage's Sentinel toolkit may excel at certain aspects while Jett's Duelist kit counters others. The Sage advantage suggests their role's capabilities translate better to winning these cross-role encounters on average.
Sage vs Jett is a skill matchup with near-even win rates (48.1% vs 50.6%). Based on 81 matches, see which agent wins in KDA, damage output, attack rounds, and defense rounds to find your edge.
