Jeff the Land Shark has gained a notorious reputation due to his ultimate ability, which can eliminate any hero caught in its path, both allies and opponents. To counter this challenge, Guangyun Chen, the director of Marvel Rivals, shares a crucial tip for players.
“We actually have an interesting tip for how to avoid Jeff’s ultimate,” Chen explains in an interview. “Make sure you keep your formation spread out, and as soon as you hear Jeff saying ‘Nom, Nom, Nom’ before he unleashes the ultimate, you want to scatter away. And don’t hesitate to use your Mobility skills if you need to.”
