Mastering Interceptions in Marvel Rivals' Clash of Dancing Lions: A Guide to Spring Festival Success
The Spring Festival event in Marvel Rivals introduces a new game mode, Clash of Dancing Lions, crucial for Battle Pass progression. This guide focuses on a key skill: intercepting the ball.
What is an Interception in Clash of Dancing Lions?
Simply put, an interception is stealing the ball from the opposing team. While opportunities abound, strategic positioning maximizes your success.
How to Intercept the Ball
Marvel Rivals' Clash of Dancing Lions pits teams of three against each other in a goal-scoring frenzy. Preventing opponent scores is vital, and interceptions are a key strategy.
The most effective interception technique involves anticipating your opponents' passes. Identify passing lanes (the spaces between two opposing players) and position yourself there. As they prepare to pass, use your character's abilities to intercept the ball. This requires practice, but the dynamic gameplay provides ample chances.
Another opportunity arises when opponents believe they have an easy goal. As they attempt the shot, aggressively challenge them to secure the ball. This is riskier—a missed interception leads to a point—but effective for completing Spring Festival challenges.
Character selection impacts your interception ability. Star-Lord, with superior movement and abilities, excels at knocking the ball away, even amidst the chaos. Utilize his dash to reach enemy passing lanes and follow up with his ranged attacks for a clean interception.
By mastering these techniques, you'll significantly improve your chances of intercepting the ball and achieving Spring Festival success in Marvel Rivals. For further Marvel Rivals tips, check out our guide on Chronoverse Saga Achievements.
