Introducing Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: Usage and Details

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 mission, 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 the game 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). Though the Web-Cluster itself inflicts minimal damage, the Spider-Tracer significantly enhances subsequent attacks, making it a vital tool for victory.

How to Use a 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 damage and altering the functionality of certain moves.

Here's how Spider-Tracers affect Spider-Man's abilities:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to Tracer-marked enemies.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to Spider-Man, this ability pulls Spider-Man to the Tracer-marked enemy.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts bonus damage on enemies with a Spider-Tracer.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

The key is strategic follow-up after landing a Spider-Tracer. For maximum impact:

• Amazing Combo + Spider-Power: This combination delivers a powerful 110 damage burst, swiftly eliminating opponents.
• Get Over Here!: While risky against grouped enemies, this move is highly effective for quickly engaging opponents who flank your position. Spider-Man's mobility allows for swift escapes if necessary.

Conclusion

Understanding and effectively employing the Spider-Tracer is essential for maximizing Spider-Man's potential in Marvel Rivals. Mastering these techniques will significantly improve your gameplay.

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