Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: Usage Guide

Whether you're mastering the art of swinging through the city as Spider-Man or tackling tough challenges, understanding a key mechanic like the Spider-Tracer is crucial in *Marvel Rivals*. Here's a detailed guide on what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively use it in your matches.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

The term "Spider-Tracer" frequently appears in *Marvel Rivals*, yet the game itself doesn't provide a thorough explanation. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man places on an enemy after using his Web-Cluster move (activated by LT on consoles and Right Click on PC). Although the Web-Cluster doesn’t deal substantial damage, mastering its use is essential for Spider-Man mains. The Spider-Tracer can turn the tide of a solo battle, making it a game-changer in combat scenarios.

How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

Understanding the mechanics of the Spider-Tracer can significantly enhance your gameplay. The Web-Cluster comes equipped with a five-shot load, enabling you to tag up to five enemies with Spider-Tracers at once. To apply a Spider-Tracer, simply press the Web-Cluster button and hit your opponent. While the initial impact inflicts minor damage, the real advantage comes with your subsequent moves.

A Spider-Tracer on an enemy amplifies the impact of your next attack and, in some instances, alters the attack's effect. Here’s how Spider-Man’s moves are enhanced by a Spider-Tracer:

• Spider-Power (R2 on console, Left Click on PC): Swing your fists forward to strike, dealing extra damage to an enemy marked with a Spider-Tracer.
• Get Over Here! (R1 on console, E on PC): Launch webbing to pull in the targeted enemy. If they're tagged with a Spider-Tracer, Spider-Man is pulled to them instead.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X on console, F on PC): Launch an enemy upward, inflicting additional damage if they have a Spider-Tracer.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

Landing a Spider-Tracer is just the beginning; the real skill lies in utilizing it effectively. For maximum impact, try the Amazing Combo, which deals a whopping 110 damage when combined with a Spider-Tracer. This can be a devastating blow, setting you up to finish off your opponent with a basic Spider-Power attack.

Using Get Over Here! with a Spider-Tracer can be tricky, as it propels you towards the tagged enemy. This move is particularly useful when an enemy infiltrates your backline, but caution is advised if their team is nearby. Fortunately, Spider-Man's agility allows for quick escapes, minimizing the risk of this maneuver.
