Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: Usage Guide

Whether you're aiming to master Spider-Man's moves or conquer specific challenges in *Marvel Rivals*, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial. Let's dive into what a Spider-Tracer is and how to leverage it effectively during matches.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

In *Marvel Rivals*, the term "Spider-Tracer" might be familiar, yet the game itself offers little explanation. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man leaves on an enemy after using his Web-Cluster move (LT on console and Right Click on PC). Although the Web-Cluster doesn't deal significant damage, it's a game-changer for Spider-Man mains. Utilizing the Spider-Tracer effectively can be the deciding factor in solo battles.

How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

Once you understand the basics of the Spider-Tracer, mastering its use can enhance your gameplay significantly. The Web-Cluster comes equipped with a five-shot load, enabling you to tag up to five enemies with Spider-Tracers at once. Simply press the Web-Cluster button and hit your opponent; they'll take minimal damage, but the real advantage comes with your subsequent moves.

When an enemy is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, your next attack is significantly boosted, and in some instances, the move's effect changes. Here’s how Spider-Man's moves interact with a Spider-Tracer:

• Spider-Power (R2 on console and Left Click on PC): Swing fists forward to strike, dealing extra damage to the enemy 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 is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, Spider-Man will get pulled to them instead.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X on Console and F on PC): Launch an enemy upward, dealing extra damage to the enemy with a Spider-Tracer.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

Landing a Spider-Tracer is just the beginning; the true test is in crafting effective follow-ups. To maximize your impact, consider using the Amazing Combo, which can deal an impressive 110 damage when enhanced by a Spider-Tracer. This can catch your opponent off-guard, setting you up to finish them off with the base Spider-Power.

Using Get Over Here! can be tricky because it propels you toward the tagged enemy. This move is particularly useful when an enemy infiltrates your backline, but caution is advised if the enemy's team is close by. Fortunately, Spider-Man's agility allows for quick escapes, minimizing risks associated with this maneuver.
