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. For Peter Parker mains, mastering this mechanic is key to winning solo battles.
How to Use a Spider-Tracer
The Web-Cluster has a five-shot capacity, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Simply hit the Web-Cluster button to target an opponent. While the initial hit deals minor damage, the real impact comes next.
A Spider-Tracer dramatically boosts the effectiveness of your following attacks, sometimes altering their functionality. Here's how Spider-Man's moves are affected:
- Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Inflicts increased damage on Tracer-marked enemies.
- Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, Spider-Man is pulled towards the Tracer-marked opponent.
- Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Delivers enhanced damage to Tracer-marked enemies. Related: Optimizing Crosshairs for Every Marvel Rivals Hero
Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos
Landing the Spider-Tracer is only half the battle; strategically choosing your next move is critical. For maximum impact, try the Amazing Combo, which deals a substantial 110 damage when used on a marked opponent. Follow up with a standard Spider-Power for a potentially decisive blow.
Get Over Here! presents a tactical risk/reward scenario. While useful for engaging enemies in your backline, it's less effective if the enemy team provides support. Spider-Man's agility mitigates this risk, allowing for swift escapes.
