A Marvel Rivals player recently discovered a neat trick to counter Jeff the Land Shark’s potent Ultimate ability. Ever since its launch, Marvel Rivals has been attracting a massive audience, with millions of gamers jumping into the PvP hero shooter.
Developed by NetEase, the game currently offers a roster of 33 heroes. Among these, some have emerged as particularly powerful contenders, with Jeff the Land Shark standing out. This four-legged baby shark isn’t just a Strategist; he’s capable of healing his team and himself, making him a valued support unit. However, many have grown to dread facing Jeff due to his Ultimate ability, “It’s Jeff!” This skill lets him burrow underground and swallow enemies with an area-of-effect attack before spitting them out in various map locations.
As Jeff continues to wreak havoc on the battlefield, it’s only natural for Marvel Rivals players to seek out ways to counteract his signature move. Fortunately, a player known as DavidTenebris provided some clarity. By using Wolverine’s “Feral Leap,” DavidTenebris successfully tackled Jeff’s Ultimate ability. In a video shared on Marvel Rivals Media’s Twitter account, viewers could see Wolverine catching the shark mid-ult animation and eventually taking him down using basic attacks.
### How Wolverine’s Feral Leap Counteracts Jeff the Land Shark’s Ultimate
Jeff the Land Shark’s “It’s Jeff!” is a formidable Ultimate ability. It allows Jeff to dive underground, consuming nearby foes and slowly draining their health. After about five seconds, he spits them out, although this can be done manually before time runs out. On the other hand, Wolverine’s Feral Leap lets him leap forward to latch onto the first enemy he meets, causing damage equal to 1% of the target’s Max Health, and adding an extra 0.035% damage with each point of Rage. Along with this, Wolverine’s basic attack transforms into the Berserk Claw Strike, which is faster and more damaging.
In the comments below the video, many Marvel Rivals enthusiasts jotted down notes on this interaction, appreciating how they can counter Jeff’s Ultimate move. One commenter elaborated that Wolverine’s Feral Leap is effective primarily when Jeff is above ground, getting ready to spit out heroes, since Jeff is immune to crowd control while he’s submerged. Therefore, catching him off-guard during this phase is crucial.
With Marvel Rivals climbing the ranks as a major team-based hero shooter, players are eagerly anticipating updates that could introduce new Marvel heroes and maps, further enhancing their experience and ironing out any current imbalances. Whether NetEase will choose to enhance or weaken certain characters remains to be seen, but Jeff’s position might be reevaluated should balance adjustments occur in the future.
Marvel Rivals promises a dynamic and engaging experience. The game’s developers, NetEase Games, have crafted a world where players can dive into fast-paced 6v6 action set in intricate and dynamic environments. Here, both heroes and villains from the Marvel Multiverse unite to create unique team-up skills and powerful synergy.
Players have a vast Marvel roster to choose from, encompassing fan favorites and cult classics from across Marvel’s vast expanse, including the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the X-Men. With an ever-evolving universe, Marvel Rivals is set to continually introduce new heroes and maps, ensuring a constantly refreshing experience on the battlefield.
