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. This guide explains what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it in battle.
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 using 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 game-changer, especially for players who frequently use Peter Parker.
Utilizing the Spider-Tracer
The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Simply hit the Web-Cluster button to target an opponent. While the initial hit deals minimal damage, the real impact comes next.
A Spider-Tracer on an enemy dramatically boosts the power of your following attacks, sometimes even altering their functionality. Here's how Spider-Man's moves are affected:
- Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): This punch delivers increased damage to a Spider-Tracer-marked enemy.
- Get Over Here! (R1/E): This webbing pull now pulls Spider-Man towards the tagged enemy, instead of the enemy towards Spider-Man.
- Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): This upward launch inflicts extra damage on a Spider-Tracer-marked opponent. Related: Optimizing Crosshairs for Every Marvel Rivals Hero
Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos
The key is leveraging the Spider-Tracer effectively. The Amazing Combo, dealing a substantial 110 damage with a Spider-Tracer, is a potent option. Follow up with a standard Spider-Power for maximum impact.
The Get Over Here! ability, when used with a Spider-Tracer, propels Spider-Man towards the enemy. This is advantageous for engaging enemies in your backline, but use caution against heavily defended opponents. Spider-Man's agility allows for swift escapes, mitigating the risk.
