Mastering Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: A Comprehensive Guide
Whether you're a seasoned Spider-Man player or new to 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 battle.
What is a Spider-Tracer?
While Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly explain it, a Spider-Tracer is a marker left behind after Spider-Man uses 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 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 sometimes altering the function of your follow-up moves.
Spider-Man Moves Enhanced by Spider-Tracers:
- Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to marked opponents.
- Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, Spider-Man is pulled towards the marked enemy. Useful for repositioning but requires awareness of enemy positioning.
- Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts extra damage on marked enemies.
Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos
For maximum impact, combine the Spider-Tracer with the Amazing Combo (dealing 110 damage with a tracer) followed by Spider-Power for a devastating finish. While Get Over Here! offers tactical repositioning, use it cautiously, especially when facing multiple opponents.
Conclusion
The Spider-Tracer is a powerful tool in Marvel Rivals. By understanding its mechanics and incorporating it into your strategy, you can significantly improve your Spider-Man gameplay.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
