How to activate

1
Select both Namor and Jeff the Land Shark on your team composition before the match begins

Pro Tips

1
Positioning Strategy
Keep Jeff slightly behind frontline with Namor acting as the primary engager. This allows Jeff to maintain line-of-sight for healing while Namor applies crowd control and forces enemies into unfavorable positions where healing is maximized.
2
Ability Timing
Synchronize Namor's water creation abilities with Jeff's healing windows. When Namor establishes water zones, immediately follow with Jeff's protective abilities to create overlapping defensive layers that enemies struggle to penetrate.

FAQ
