Jeff the Land Shark has arrived in Marvel Rivals as a new Strategist in the roster. Read on about his abilities, ultimate, tips, and more so you can master his kit in no time.
Marvel Rivals’ Closed Beta didn’t just introduce Adam Warlock as a new support but also Jeff the Land Shark, who has just been revealed and added to the game.
Much like other Strategists, Jeff excels in providing healing and utility to the team. However, as a shark, he does have some mobility that allows him to dive around the map or even disengage in a fight quickly.
When used right, his ultimate can also turn the tide of the match. If you’re looking into playing this hero, this guide will help you understand how to utilize his kit in Marvel Rivals.
Jeff The Land Shark weapons in Marvel Rivals
Jeff the Land Shark’s primary weapon lets you shoot bursts of healing to your teammates in the form of water splash, which you can either hold for when they’re in critical health or spray at them in intervals. On the other hand, his secondary weapon allows you to shoot a projectile that damages nearby enemies.

Tips to play Jeff the Land Shark in Marvel Rivals
Mobility is one of the things that make Jeff the Land Shark shine as a support. Always remember that you can essentially climb walls when you’re using his Hide and Seek ability.
Use this to your advantage to reposition if you keep constantly getting pressured by enemy flankers, especially since Jeff has quite a big hitbox.
But don’t forget that even if you’re diving under the ground or walls, this doesn’t mean that you’re invincible. You can still take damage during this form, and the same thing applies when using your ultimate.
Healing with Jeff the Landshark is pretty straightforward. In addition to using your primary fire, make sure to throw your Healing Bubbles to your teammates so that they can get a boost.
As for his ultimate, the best use for this is to find an angle where you can swallow the enemy team and then spit them out to the edge of the map, leading them to their death. With coordination, this should work pretty well with Doctor Strange’s portal.
Lastly, Jeff works really well when paired with either Luna Snow or Groot. Jeff’s team-up ability with Luna Snow allows you to deal more damage. On the other hand, when playing with Groot, you can essentially pocket him as Jeff sits on his shoulder.
