Get ready to spit at and eat all the zombies! Jeff is one of the most fun and effective characters you can play in Marvel Zombies mode, but crafting the right build is key to success.
Best Jeff Build
The optimal Jeff build focuses on high damage output, though it’s still worth including at least one healing ability to support your teammates. The choices you make before battle can greatly impact your odds of success, so careful planning is essential.
Best Abilities
For Marvel Zombies, you should choose three main abilities for Jeff: Buoyant Splash, Fusion Bubble, and Hazardous Depths.
- Buoyant Splash / Hydrogrenade – Buoyant Splash deals strong area-of-effect damage while healing allies, making it ideal for zombie swarms. Hydrogrenade focuses purely on damage, stunning enemies with a large explosion. Buoyant Splash is generally preferred for versatility.
- Fusion Bubble – Merges your healing bubbles together, maximizing efficiency and reducing the need to swim around collecting them. If unavailable, Vitality Bubble is the next best option.
- Hazardous Depths – Builds charge for Jeff’s ultimate while using Hide and Seek, allowing him to swim underground, strike enemies with his fin, heal himself, and deal massive damage. His ultimate consumes large zombie groups, making this ability essential.
Best Traits
Upgrade both Joyful Splash and Hide and Seek trait paths. Early in the game, focus more on Joyful Splash for its powerful water attacks that damage swarms at range. Later, invest in Hide and Seek to enhance underground attacks, healing, and synergy with Hazardous Depths. Balancing both paths ensures Jeff remains versatile throughout the battle.
Best Khonshu’s Blessings
Prioritize Big Fish Frenzy (blue) Blessings, but you can also dabble in Overflowing Waters and General (purple) Blessings. Recommended Blessings include:
- Tidal Core (blue)
- Forward Frenzy (blue)
- Gnasing Waters (red)
- Jetstream Cannon (red)
- Vitality Boost (purple)
- Vampiric Vitality (purple)
- Full Moon (purple)
How to Make Jeff Bigger
You can make Jeff larger by acquiring the Shark Sovereignty Blessing when it appears. While this increases size, speed, health, and damage after consuming enemies, it can be buggy, making Jeff so large that visibility is limited. Use caution until this is fixed in a future update.
Summary
Jeff is one of the strongest characters in Marvel Zombies when built correctly. Focusing on high damage abilities, key traits, and effective Blessings allows him to excel against bosses like Zombie Namor and Zombie Scarlet Witch, helping you clear stages efficiently and save the city.
