In this Maneater best shark build article, we will cover the best combination of shark evolution upgrades you can get. This build is the best combination for speed, damage, and defense… Not to mention, this is the best build for Pete; it is a must-have when going against Pete. It is also the best build for infamy. Furthermore, it is great for destroying boats and predatory animals, such as the orca, sperm whale, etc. You will be blazing fast and you’ll be able to keep up your speed instead of slowing down after a certain period.
This is great for being versatile and escaping certain situations if you need to. The speed combined with the strength will give you an edge and make you a harder target since you can attack then evade before the hunters or other predatory animals can get a shot on you. If you do manage to get attacked, your defenses will play a huge role in decreasing the inflicted damage.
