Jeff The Land Shark Overview

Tips And Tricks To Play Jeff The Land Shark
Jeff is a hero best played by staying close to your teammates to keep them healed. His healing splash can target multiple allies at once, preventing anyone from reaching critical health. With a decent healing range, this ability pairs well with other long-range healers like Luna Snow or Rocket Raccoon.
Jeff’s mobility is a key strength, allowing him to escape dangerous situations or reposition quickly. The Hide and Seek ability has no cooldown, so make sure to use it frequently if you’re being targeted. Additionally, wall crawling provides a practical escape option, especially against heroes that can’t follow you.
If teammates are losing health rapidly, use your healing orbs. With six available, they provide a substantial healing boost and improve the survival chances of affected allies.
The best part about playing Jeff is his ultimate, which can easily turn the tide of a fight if used correctly. You need to ensure that multiple enemy teams are near each other, allowing you to swallow them all, and then all you have to do is spit them off the map.
This requires knowledge of the map layout and the perfect timing to strike, so it’s crucial to use it wisely
We’ve found it’s better to throw yourself while swallowing the enemy team instead of spitting them out at the edge, as multiple heroes can simply resurface thanks to their abilities and kill you.
If you have Groot on your team, always stay on his shoulders. You’ll benefit from damage reduction, and since Groot is a tank, he’s usually taking a lot of hits. This allows you to heal him and any nearby allies easily and without worrying about flankers.
The last thing that you should keep in mind is that even while Jeff is diving underground or using your ultimate, you’re not invincible. You can still take damage and die. It just makes your hitbox smaller, as only your dorsal fin is exposed.
