As one of the top healers in Marvel Rivals, Jeff does awesome work in the support role.

His skills revolve around healing, mobility, and crowd control, making him a key player on any team if he is used well.

He is not the strongest in terms of offense, but his toolkits help the team in almost every part of the fight.

1. His Healing Abilities Goes a Long Way

When it comes to healing, Jeff's Joyful Splash is a lifesaver.

This water attack sends out a stream that heals any allies it hits, and the range is pretty impressive.

This enables Jeff to keep a safe distance from the battle while ensuring his team stays at full health.

Jeff can also drop Healing Bubbles to support his teammates, which temporarily heal those who pick them up.

2. Jeff Can Dish Out Damage Too

While Jeff excels as a healer, he is no slouch when it comes to offense.

Jeff can also use Aqua Burst to inflict damage by launching rapid water projectiles at enemies.

Though it’s not meant to deal significant damage, it’s effective for annoying opponents and keeping the pressure on.

Throw out Aqua Burst to bother the enemy damage dealers and support your team by throwing off their positioning.

3. Jeff Knows When to Dip and Dodge

One of Jeff's neat tricks is Hide and Seek, where he dives underground and leaves his dorsal fin sticking out.

While underwater, Jeff can zip around, climb walls, and passively heal himself.

This ability helps him dodge enemy fire, move around, and recover, which allows him to get out of tight spots and set up the next move.

However, Jeff isn’t invincible while underground, and enemies can still target him, so using this ability wisely is crucial.

But thanks to his passive ability (Obvious Cuteness), he takes less damage from critical hits when underground.

4. When It’s Jeff! Time, the Game Changes

Jeff’s ultimate ability, It’s Jeff!, is an ultimate move and can completely flip the game on its head.

When triggered, Jeff dives down and emerges as a giant shark that can swallow enemies and allies nearby.

This move can wipe out whole groups of enemies, especially heavy hitters like Venom and Hulk.

It’s best to time this ultimate when the enemy team is grouped up, and there’s a clear path to throw them off a ledge or into a vulnerable position.

Ensure your timing is on point and that your allies are kept at a safe distance.

5. Teamwork with Jeff Takes You Far

Jeff also thrives when working with teammates who can hold their own in combat.

The New Friends ability enables him to perch on Groot’s shoulders, minimizing damage and letting him strike from an elevated vantage point.

When teamed up with Luna Snow’s Frozen Spitball, this upgrade makes Jeff’s Aqua Burst slow enemies.

This helps you land hits and take control of the fight, making Jeff a solid support, especially in close team scraps.

When teaming up with a tanky ally, stay behind them and let them absorb damage while you focus on healing and offering support.
