"Spider-Tracer: What It Is and How to Use It in Marvel Rivals"

Whether you're a beginner trying to master Spider-Man's moves or a seasoned player aiming to conquer challenges in *Marvel Rivals*, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic can significantly elevate your gameplay. Let's delve into what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively use it during matches.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

The term "Spider-Tracer" is frequently mentioned in *Marvel Rivals*, yet the game itself doesn't fully clarify its function. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man leaves on an enemy after using his Web-Cluster move (activated by LT on console and Right Click on PC). Although Web-Cluster doesn't deal substantial damage, if you're a Peter Parker main, mastering this move is crucial. The Spider-Tracer can be the deciding factor in winning or losing a solo battle.

How to Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

Now that you understand what a Spider-Tracer is, let's explore how to maximize its potential. The Web-Cluster starts with a five-shot load, allowing you to apply up to five Spider-Tracers at once. To land a Spider-Tracer, simply hit the Web-Cluster button and strike your opponent. They'll receive minimal damage, but what you do next can shift the momentum of the fight in your favor.

When an enemy is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, your subsequent attacks are significantly enhanced, and in some cases, the mechanics of your moves change. Here's how Spider-Man's abilities are affected by a Spider-Tracer:

• Spider-Power (R2 on console and Left Click on PC): Swing your fists forward to strike, dealing extra damage to enemies marked with a Spider-Tracer.
• Get Over Here! (R1 on console and E on PC): Shoot webbing to reel in the hit enemy. If the enemy has a Spider-Tracer, Spider-Man will be pulled towards them instead.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X on Console and F on PC): Launch an enemy upward, dealing extra damage if they're tagged with a Spider-Tracer.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

Landing a Spider-Tracer is just the beginning; the real skill lies in choosing the right follow-up moves. For maximum impact, consider using the Amazing Combo, which delivers an impressive 110 damage when combined with a Spider-Tracer. This can catch your opponent off guard, setting you up to finish them off with a basic Spider-Power attack.

Using Get Over Here! can be a bit tricky, as with a Spider-Tracer, you'll be pulled towards the enemy. This can be advantageous if an enemy infiltrates your backline, but it's riskier if they're backed by their team. Fortunately, Spider-Man's high mobility allows for quick escapes, minimizing the risk of this maneuver.
