Mastering Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: A Comprehensive Guide
Whether you're a seasoned Spider-Man player or tackling a challenging Marvel Rivals match, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial for victory. This guide explains what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it.
What is a Spider-Tracer?
While Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly detail the Spider-Tracer, it's essentially 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 pivotal element in combat.
Utilizing the Spider-Tracer
The Web-Cluster has a five-shot capacity, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with the Web-Cluster applies the tracer, boosting the impact of your next move.
Here's how Spider-Tracers modify Spider-Man's abilities:
- Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to tagged opponents.
- Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, Spider-Man is pulled towards the tagged opponent. Useful for closing distance or engaging enemies in your backline.
- Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts amplified damage on marked enemies.
Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos
For maximum impact, pair the Spider-Tracer with the Amazing Combo (dealing 110 damage with a tracer), followed by a basic Spider-Power for a devastating finish.
While Get Over Here! with a Spider-Tracer reverses the pull, its risk is mitigated by Spider-Man's agility, allowing for quick escapes if necessary.
Conclusion
The Spider-Tracer is a powerful tool in Marvel Rivals, significantly enhancing Spider-Man's offensive capabilities. Mastering its use is key to achieving victory.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
