How To Intercept the Ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals

In *Marvel Rivals*'s latest mode, teams of three compete to score goals, with the highest-scoring team winning the match. Preventing your opponents from scoring is just as important as scoring yourself, and intercepting the ball is a vital strategy.

The most effective way to intercept the ball is to position yourself in your opponents' throwing lanes—the likely paths between two players where they plan to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and then swiftly move into their throwing lane using one of your abilities. It might take a few attempts, but the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions offers ample opportunities for interception.

Another prime moment to intercept is when an opponent thinks they have an easy goal. As they prepare to score, attack them and seize the ball. This approach can be risky, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a worthwhile strategy if you're aiming to complete the Spring Festival challenges.

Lastly, ensure you're using a character whose movement you're comfortable with. Missing an interception due to unfamiliarity with your character's abilities can be frustrating. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his excellent movement and abilities, making it easier to knock the ball away even in crowded situations. Use his dash to get into the enemy's throwing lane and finish with his guns to knock the ball free for an easy interception.

And that's how you intercept the ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in *Marvel Rivals*. If you're looking for more challenges, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to achieve them.
