Mastering Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: A Comprehensive Guide
Whether you're a seasoned Spider-Man player or tackling a new challenge in Marvel Rivals, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial for success. This guide explains what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it in combat.
What is a Spider-Tracer?
While Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly define it, a Spider-Tracer is a marker left by Spider-Man after using his Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, Right Click on PC). Although the Web-Cluster itself inflicts minimal damage, the Spider-Tracer significantly enhances subsequent attacks, making it a key element of effective Spider-Man gameplay.
Utilizing the Spider-Tracer
The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with the Web-Cluster applies the tracer, boosting the damage and altering the effects of specific moves.
Here's how Spider-Tracers impact Spider-Man's abilities:
- Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to marked opponents.
- Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy, Spider-Man is drawn towards the marked target. This can be advantageous for repositioning or engaging enemies in your backline.
- Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts additional damage on traced enemies.
Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos
The real skill lies in combining Spider-Tracers with other moves. For maximum impact:
- Amazing Combo followed by Spider-Power: This devastating combo delivers significant damage (110 damage with the Spider-Tracer), potentially eliminating the opponent.
- Get Over Here!: While risky against grouped enemies, this move's altered effect with a Spider-Tracer provides a powerful repositioning tool. Spider-Man's agility mitigates the risk.
Conclusion
The Spider-Tracer is a powerful tool that significantly enhances Spider-Man's combat capabilities in Marvel Rivals. By mastering its use, you can elevate your gameplay and dominate the battlefield.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
