Best Strategies for Jeff the Land Shark

Bring High Tidings to Your Team as Jeff the Land Shark

As tempting as it is to go on the offensive, Jeff ismuch more suited as a support, as per his Strategist status. In a way, he does act like Zenyatta inOverwatch, as he works a lot better in a support role than as an attacker. Still, Jeff has a lot of control on the battlefield given how he can turn the tides, pun intended. Jeff’sHealing BubblesandJoyful Splashcan quickly refresh teammates and provide some much-needed advantage for Vanguards like Iron Man andVenomas well for Duelists like Hawkeye andSpider-Man.

Despite that, Jeff can still handle himself a little well in the offensive game. His HP is very low and can be picked off easily. However, hisAqua BurstandHide and Seekcan help ease the odds just a bit, especially ifFrozen Spitballis in effect. Still, Jeff’s Ulitmate,It’s Jeff, is extremely powerful and can clear an entire battlefield, which can come in handy in many ways. While it may be seen as cheating, you can technically shoot the opponents sucked in over the map edge, which can net you up to six kills. This, on top of many support options, does make Jeff a solid choice for support-based players.
