Marvel Rivals’ Jeff the Land Shark is a Strategist that can pump out a lot of heals and has decent mobility. Read on about his abilities, ultimate, tips, and more so you can master his kit in no time.
Jeff the Land Shark was first introduced as a surprise addition during the Marvel Rivals Closed Beta period. Since then, the iconic shark has indeed been getting a lot of attention as seen in his high pick rate.
That said, regardless of how adorable he looks, the Strategist hero doesn’t perform too well in terms of win rate as he can be really tricky to learn and master.
However, players who can play him effectively will surely bring a lot of value to the team, especially since Jeff heals a lot, has mobility, and an ultimate that can easily 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 stats
- Class: Strategist
- Health: 250
- Movement: 6 m/s
Jeff has pretty standard stats for a Strategist, but what makes him unique is how he can traverse the map by swimming horizontally and vertically on buildings, allowing him to escape sticky situations. He also has good self-healing potential as he can pick up his own healing bubbles dropped on the ground.
Weapons
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.

Abilities
Jeff the Land Shark shines as a mid-to-close-range Strategist thanks to his healing splash primary fire and the ability to spit healing bubbles to teammates. Those who pick this up will not only top up their health but also get a healing boost.
Not to mention, he can also dive underneath the ground to escape from flankers or reposition himself on high ground, making him much more slippery to jump on than other supports in Marvel Rivals.

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.
