Guide

Overview
Janet is a mythic brawler with a strange attack technique: the longer you aim, the longer the attack will be. She has a fast reload speed, which helps her cover her low damage output. Her super lets her fly across the map, dropping some bombs, making some chaos. She has a high-potential in gem grab, as she can escape with the gems or either assassinate the enemy team.Personality
"Rocket girll!!!"
Janet is a born performer, exuding confidence and charisma both on and off the battlefield. She thrives in the limelight, always seeking to captivate her audience with flashy moves and stunning plays. Her upbeat and outgoing nature makes her a natural crowd-pleaser, and she embraces challenges with enthusiasm, treating every brawl as a grand stage for her to shine.Gadgets and Star Powers🌟🎀Drop the bassπŸŽ΅πŸ”Š: this gadget is very good, especially in 3v3 game modes. You must use this under cover, to deal the maximum damage it can deal. Use this to control zone and not let enemies heal. You can also use this to finish off low enemies.Backstage PassπŸ•ΊπŸŽŸοΈ: this gadget is valuable most in showdown, where there are a lot of assassins. It counters all of them, since you can jump over walls and escape. Now, with the gadget rework, you won't say that you got no gadgets left, instead, you will escape every brain-dead Edgar (not if they activate let's fly)Vocal Warm up🎢πŸ”₯: this star power allows Janet to focus her attacks faster. Can be paired well with Backstage pass in tough situations to go farther with the gadget. It is good against snipers, as the attacks will focus in less time now, and she can attack better the assassins.Stage viewπŸŽ₯πŸ”: now, Janet will see the whole world from the stage. Literally! This star power allows her to seeπŸ‘οΈ in a big area while she flies with the super. This is generally good in bushy maps like Cavern Churn.Best build1. ShowdownGadget: Backstage Pass
As I said before, use it to counter snipers by coming close to them (ex. Piper) or to escape tough situations (ex. Edgar)Star Power: Vocal Warm up
Good to counter snipers. Use the other one if the map is Cavern Churn or a very bushy one.Gears: Damage and Shield
She is not the best at damage, but the gear will help! Use Shield to have more life for more survivability.2. 3v3Gadget: Drop the Bass
Better than the other one because you can pressure the enemies and with good teammates (no, not you, my randumbs), it leads to an easy win.Star Power: Vocal Warm up
The other one is almost useless if it isn't a bushy map.Gears: Damage and Shield
She is not the best at damage, but the gear will help! Use Shield to have more life for more survivability.Tips& Tricks1. Master the rockets. Her super is not something to waste. Here are the best ways you must use her super:
a) To kill an easy target.
b) To reach an enemy, and then when you land, kill him. Tip: have all 3 attacks when you do this. Check the enemies health, and if it's more than 8000, don't go.
c) To escape with the gems.
d) To assassinate the enemy team and take the gems.
e) To reach the ball from the other part of the map in Brawl Ball.
f) Use your hyper to deal a ton of damage to the safe. Stand still.
g) To escape Edgar mains.2. Conserve your ammo. When you launch into the sky, be sure to have at least 2 or 3 ammo. You don't know the future, so keep them for safety.3. You don't heal while flying. Keep this in mind, or else, you will end up assassinating an Edgar, and after he pressed dislike you notice what you did wrong: you had no health!Know your MatchupsFavorable Matchups (Janet Dominates) πŸ₯³πŸ”₯Low-Health Brawlers 🩹🎯 (Examples: Tick, Piper, Brock)
Janet's consistent damage and wide attack pattern make it easy to chip away at squishy targets, even those at long range.
Keep poking them from mid-range—her accuracy can overwhelm these brawlers. Use Drop the Bass πŸŽ΅πŸ”Š to limit their escape routes.Strategy against Piper: her damage is lower the more you are close to her. Use that in your advantage, using Backstage Pass to get close to her and destroy her. Make sure she has no super.
------------------------------
Short-Range Brawlers πŸ₯ŠπŸš« (Examples: Bull, Shelly, Rosa)
Janet excels at keeping these brawlers at bay with her mid-range attacks, denying them the chance to close the gap. Maintain your distance and kite them with steady damage. Use your super ✈️ to escape if they get too close for comfort.Unfavorable Matchups (Janet struggles) πŸ˜¬πŸ›‘οΈHigh-Damage Snipers 🎯πŸ’₯(Examples: Bea, Byron, Belle)
These brawlers can deal massive damage from a distance, making it hard for Janet to trade effectively. Use cover 🧱 to avoid taking direct hits. Close the gap with Backstage Pass 🎟️ when they’re distracted or miss shots.
------------------------------
Aggressive Assassins πŸ₯·βš‘(Examples: Edgar, Mortis, Leon)
These brawlers can quickly close the gap and burst Janet down before she has time to react. Keep your distance and use Drop the Bass πŸ”Š to force them away. If cornered, activate your super ✈️ to escape and reposition.------------------------------

Game Modes

Gem Grab

Gem Grab

Janet in Gem Grab: A Superstar's RoleJanet is a versatile brawler in Gem Grab, excelling at controlling the battlefield and supporting her team. Her mix of consistent damage, mobility, and gadgets make her a strong pick for this mode.Early Game Strategy πŸŽ―πŸ’Ž
Hold the Midfield ⚑🎀: position yourself in the middle of the map to poke at enemies and apply pressure with your microphone attacks. 🎢 Focus on keeping enemies away from the gem mine while staying safe behind cover. 🧱✨Zone Out Enemies πŸš«πŸ”Š: use Drop the Bass πŸŽ΅πŸ”Š to control key areas around the gem mine, discouraging enemies from collecting gems.
Place it near choke points to force opponents to reposition or take damage.Mid-Game Strategy πŸ•΅οΈ‍β™€οΈπŸ’Ό
Adapt to Your Role πŸ”„πŸŽ€: if your team’s gem carrier is struggling, you can step up to gather gems safely. πŸ’ŽπŸ™Œ Support your gem carrier by keeping enemies at bay and clearing their path. πŸ›‘οΈβœ¨Dodge and Poke πŸ’ƒπŸŽ―:
Stay mobile and keep poking enemies with your wide-range attacks while avoiding taking unnecessary damage. πŸ’¨βœ¨Late-Game Strategy πŸ›‘πŸš€
Secure the Lead πŸ₯‡πŸ’Ό. Once your team has 10 gems, prioritize safety! Stay close to your gem carrier and protect them from enemy attacks. πŸ›‘οΈEscape Danger with Style πŸš€πŸŽ€: use your super to take flight if you or your gem carrier are in danger. Janet’s aerial mobility makes her hard to target! ✈️✨ Pro Tip: While airborne, drop bombs strategically to keep enemies away from your gem carrier. πŸŽ‡πŸ’₯If you are the gem carrier, use your super to escape with the gems at the countdown of 10 or later. If you don't have all the gems and your teammate has a part of them, make sure to stay in defending, while also helping your teammates, or grab the final gem until you have 10, and then you can admire the chaos that is down there.

Works Well With

Kit

Kit

They are the perfect synergy! While Janet struggles a bit with throwers, Kit can jump on them, making easy kills. On Duo Showdown, if they are in danger, Kit can jump on her to avoid the danger or either assassinating enemies with an invincible Kit on her, while also attacking. Use this strategy in endgame, when is more effective because Janet might have the hypercharge and you can dominate the match and kill a 10 power cubes team with this combo.
