Jeff The Land Shark
Dun dun dun dun...Jeff the Land Shark is a strategist in Marvel Rivals, specializing in healing, mobility, and utility. His primary role is to support his team by keeping allies alive with his healing abilities while using his mobility to evade threats and reposition effectively. Jeff's unique kit includes tools like Healing Bubbles, which provide both healing and movement boosts to teammates, and Hide and Seek, which allows him to dive underground and gain mobility while passively regenerating health. His ultimate ability, It's Jeff, is a game-changer, enabling him to swallow both allies and enemies within range, healing teammates and damaging foes before ejecting them in a chosen direction.
Jeff thrives in team compositions that include durable vanguards like Groot or Captain America, who can protect him while he focuses on healing. He also synergizes well with aggressive duelists like Black Panther or Magik, who can capitalize on the boosts provided by his healing bubbles. However, Jeff's low health makes him vulnerable to ranged characters like Iron Man or Storm, as well as melee-focused flankers like Spider-Man or Venom. Careful positioning and map awareness are crucial to maximizing his impact.
How to play Jeff The Land Shark in Marvel Rivals
Jeff's survivability depends on staying mobile and avoiding prolonged engagements. Use his passive ability, Obvious Cuteness, which reduces critical hit damage while underground, to mitigate incoming attacks and sustain yourself.
Jeff's Healing Bubbles are critical for sustaining your team during fights. Drop bubbles near allies who are taking damage or in need of movement boosts to escape threats. Be mindful of the bubble limit; recharge them strategically by staying underground when not actively healing. Additionally, use Aqua Burst, Jeff's secondary attack, to deal damage to enemies while disrupting their positioning; this can be particularly effective against clustered opponents.
Timing your ultimate ability, It's Jeff, is essential for turning the tide of battle. Swallowing allies will rapidly heal them while repositioning them safely, whereas swallowing enemies deals continuous damage before spitting them out in a chosen direction. Use this ability strategically during team fights or when contesting objectives; be cautious not to accidentally eject allies into dangerous positions or off the map. Coordinate with teammates for maximum effectiveness, ensuring follow-up damage on enemies after they're expelled.
