Mastering Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: A Comprehensive Guide
Whether you're a seasoned Spider-Man player or tackling a new challenge in Marvel Rivals, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial for victory. This guide explains what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it in combat.
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 deploying 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 of effective Spider-Man gameplay.
Utilizing the Spider-Tracer
The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, enabling five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with the Web-Cluster applies the tracer, boosting the damage and altering the function of specific moves.
Here's how Spider-Tracers affect Spider-Man's abilities:
- Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to tagged opponents.
- Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to Spider-Man, this move pulls Spider-Man to the tagged enemy.
- Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts amplified damage on marked enemies.
Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos
The real skill lies in combining Spider-Tracers with other moves. For maximum impact:
- Amazing Combo followed by Spider-Power: This devastating sequence delivers substantial damage (110 with a Spider-Tracer), quickly incapacitating opponents.
- Get Over Here!: While risky against grouped enemies, this move is invaluable for quickly closing the distance on opponents flanking your rear. Spider-Man's agility mitigates the risk.
Conclusion
By mastering the Spider-Tracer, you'll significantly enhance your Spider-Man gameplay in Marvel Rivals. Remember to utilize the enhanced damage and altered functionality of his abilities for optimal results.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
