Mastering Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals for Victory

Whether you're a seasoned Spider-Man player or tackling a challenging Marvel Rivals match, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial. This guide explains what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it.

What is a Spider-Tracer?

While Marvel Rivals doesn't clearly 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 in winning battles as Peter Parker.

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 your next attack's effectiveness or altering its function.

Here's how Spider-Tracer affects Spider-Man's moves:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to a Spider-Tracer marked enemy.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy, Spider-Man is pulled towards the marked opponent.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts extra damage on a marked enemy.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

The real skill lies in combining the Spider-Tracer with other moves. For maximum impact:

• Amazing Combo followed by Spider-Power: This combo delivers a powerful 110 damage burst to a marked enemy.
• Get Over Here!: While risky against a grouped enemy team, it's effective for quickly closing the distance on a lone opponent, especially if they're flanking your rear. Spider-Man's mobility helps mitigate the risk.

In conclusion, mastering the Spider-Tracer is essential for maximizing Spider-Man's potential in Marvel Rivals. Learn to strategically place and utilize it to dominate the battlefield.

Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
