Jessie is currently A-tier in Gem Grab with a score of 78/100. As a Controller, Jessie denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities, making it a reliable pick when the meta favors Gem Grab.
Run Energize as the default Star Power for Jessie — it works in most situations. Switch to Shocky on maps that punish your main weakness. For Gadgets, Spark Plug is the standard active pick; Recoil Spring is situationally better on specific map types. Speed and Shield Gears are the standard choice.
Jessie struggles against Leon and Mortis, who can out-trade Jessie at the ranges or map types where Jessie is most exposed. On the flip side, Jessie consistently beats Bull and El Primo.
Jessie performs best in Gem Grab (A-tier, 78/100). The Controller kit — denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities — is directly rewarded in Gem Grab, which is why Jessie climbs higher here than in other modes. See the mode ratings section for a full breakdown.
Jessie pairs best with Poco and Gene. Since Jessie denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities, teammates that cover the opposite role — whether that is frontline presence, healing, or ranged poke — create the most complete comp.
To play Jessie well, focus on Gem Grab where the mode rating is highest, and lean into being a Controller that denies zones and controls objective access with area abilities. Run Energize as the core build, track Leon and Mortis on the enemy team, and pair with Poco and Gene when possible.
Jessie fires a bouncing electrical shot that deals damage and chains to additional nearby enemies, and her Super deploys Scrappy the turret that automatically shoots at the closest opponent. Scrappy provides persistent offensive pressure in a chosen location and can guard objectives independently. She is a tier-one pick in Gem Grab where the gem mine area benefits enormously from having a self-operating turret.
Place Jessie's Scrappy turret adjacent to the gem mine in Gem Grab rather than on the mine itself, so enemies must walk past the turret fire to approach the mine rather than immediately attacking Scrappy when contesting. Her bouncing attack is most effective when multiple enemies are nearby and the bounce can hit a secondary target.

Mode-specific stats and the top ranked Jessie players globally. Each page shows win rate, pick rate, best maps and tier for that specific combination.
Build your Super from safe positions and deploy it on the objective approach route, not reactively. Take Energize in most situations, switching to Shocky on maps where enemies can close distance. A Super that wins map control is worth more than one used defensively.
PRIORITY
Draft Around Counters
Watch for Leon or Mortis. Both Spark Plug and Recoil Spring are in your kit — learn which one punishes your counters versus which gives you an escape window. Use your Gadget early rather than saving it for a desperate moment.
MATCHUP
Best Team Shape
Pair Jessie with Poco or Gene when possible. Build toward Scrappy 2.0 in safe positions — it swings fights instantly, so activate it when your team has the edge, not when you are already behind.
