Guides

Dec 11

Jeff the Land Shark struggles against sustained damage and crowd control that interrupts his abilities. Here’s what heroes to play and how to counter Jeff:

Vanguard Counters

Hulk: Gamma Grenade (LShift) knocks Jeff airborne, disrupting his healing and displacement abilities. Hulk’s Incredible Leap (Space) lets him close the gap and punish Jeff for his reliance on mobility.
Venom: Cellular Corrosion (Right Click) slows Jeff, making it harder for him to reposition. Feast of the Abyss (Q) allows Venom to ambush Jeff, dealing significant damage while healing himself.
Peni Parker: Cyber-Web Snare (Right Click) immobilizes Jeff, shutting down his ability to move effectively. Spider-Sweeper (Q) creates consistent area damage, punishing Jeff for staying near his allies.

Duelist Counters

Black Panther: Sprint Rend (LShift) lets Black Panther dash in and apply pressure to Jeff. Spinning Kick (E) interrupts Jeff’s abilities and applies Vibranium Marks for additional damage.
Black Widow: Straight Shooter (Right Click) allows Widow to deal high burst damage to Jeff from a safe distance. Electro Plasma Explosion (Q) punishes Jeff and nearby allies with wide-area damage.
Hawkeye: Scourge Grenade (Right Click) blinds Jeff, making it harder for him to heal his allies. Hunter’s Sight (Q) provides consistent ranged damage, countering Jeff’s disruption.
Spider-Man: Spectacular Spin (Q) stuns Jeff, stopping him from using his abilities effectively. Get Over Here! (E) pulls Jeff out of position, exposing him to follow-up attacks.
Iron Fist: K’un-Lun Kick (LShift) delivers high melee damage to Jeff, overwhelming his healing output. Living Chi (Q) enhances Iron Fist’s damage and sustain, allowing him to outlast Jeff.

Abilities to Watch Out For

It’s Jeff! (Q): Jeff dives underground and resurfaces, displacing nearby enemies. Spread out to avoid being knocked out of position (or spit out off the map).
Healing Bubble (E): Jeff generates bubbles that heal allies. Burst Jeff down quickly to deny his team healing.
Joyful Splash (Basic Attack): Jeff’s attacks heal nearby allies while dealing splash damage. Use burst damage to outpace his healing output.

Quick Tips

Focus Him Early: Jeff’s healing abilities make him a priority target. Eliminating him quickly reduces his team’s sustain.
Interrupt His Abilities: Use stuns, slows, or knockbacks to stop Jeff from healing or displacing your team.
Don’t Cluster: Stay spread out to minimize the impact of It’s Jeff! or his splash healing.
