Tips & Tricks For Playing Jeff The Land Shark In Marvel Rivals
Jeff the Land Shark is a healer, and he’s incredibly good at what he does. He’s definitely a black sheep in the game’s roster — one you won’t fully recognize until you really dig into playing him.

Best Time To Use Jeff The Land Shark’s Ultimate
As you might have already guessed, Jeff the Land Shark’s Ultimate is absolutely insane. Unlike other strategists, he candevour massive clusters of enemiesand throw them off a cliff, which gives his teammates a great edge in the match. Since his Ultimate takes along time to charge, you’ll want to use it at the right moment. The best time to use Jeff’s Ultimate is when you see the match intensifying with lots of foes gathered in one spot. Simply eat them up — especially heavy units likeVenom,Groot, andHulk. Their health is the highest, and they’re tough tanks to handle, so capturing them can really change the game for your squad.
One disadvantage of his Ultimate is that it can also swallow allies. If not spat out at the right moment, it can throw everyone away at a distance. So, you’ll need to master his Ultimate by keeping an eye on the timer, putting teammates back into actionwhile dumping enemies to death. Also, when heroes are under his jaws, Jeff the Land Shark can affect enemies' HP and charge up friends, making this ability perfect for when you see your squad losing control of the match.
