If you're not a sports enthusiast or haven't played *Rocket League*, the concept of an "interception" might seem unfamiliar. No need to worry; it simply means taking the ball away from the opposing team. In Clash of Dancing Lions, numerous opportunities arise to intercept the ball, and positioning yourself correctly is key to success.

How To Intercept the Ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals
*Marvel Rivals*'s latest mode pits teams of three against each other, challenging you and your teammates to score goals. Winning hinges on outscoring your opponents, making ball interception a critical strategy. Here’s how you can effectively intercept the ball:
First, focus on getting into your opponents' throwing lanes—the spaces between two players where they're likely to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and swiftly move into their lane using one of your abilities. It may take a few attempts, but with the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions, chances to intercept will abound.
Another prime moment for interception is when your opponent seems poised to score an easy goal. As they prepare to shoot, launch an attack to seize the ball. This approach carries risk, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a worthwhile strategy for tackling Spring Festival challenges.
Lastly, ensure you're using a character whose movement you're comfortable with. Missing an interception due to unfamiliarity with your character's mechanics can be frustrating. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with superior movement. Use his dash to position yourself in the enemy's throwing lane and his guns to knock the ball loose, making for an easy interception.
