Spider-Tracer: Marvel Rivals' Tracking Tool Unveiled

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 success. 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 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 Peter Parker mains.

Utilizing the Spider-Tracer

The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with the Web-Cluster applies the tracer, slightly damaging them but setting the stage for a powerful follow-up.

Specific moves are amplified by the Spider-Tracer:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): This attack deals increased damage to marked opponents.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, you'll be propelled towards the marked enemy. This is strategically advantageous for disrupting enemy backlines but requires awareness of surrounding opponents.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): This move inflicts heightened damage on traced enemies.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

The real skill lies in chaining moves after applying the Spider-Tracer. For maximum impact, try the Amazing Combo, which delivers a substantial 110 damage with a Spider-Tracer, followed by a standard Spider-Power for a potentially decisive blow.

While Get Over Here! with a Spider-Tracer might involve a risky dash towards the enemy, Spider-Man's agility allows for quick escapes, minimizing risk.
