How To Intercept the Ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals

In *Marvel Rivals*' newest mode, teams of three compete to score goals, with the team boasting the highest score at the end of the match emerging victorious. Preventing the opposing team from scoring is crucial, and intercepting the ball is a vital strategy to achieve this.

To intercept the ball effectively, position yourself in your opponents' throwing lanes—the likely paths they'll use to pass the ball between players. Identify two enemy players about to make a pass, then swiftly move into their throwing lane using one of your character's abilities. It may take a few attempts, but with the high volume of ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions, multiple interception opportunities will arise.

Another prime moment to intercept is when your opponent believes they have an easy goal. As they attempt to score, strike swiftly to steal the ball. This approach carries risk, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a valuable tactic for completing Spring Festival challenges.

Choosing a character whose movement mechanics you're comfortable with is crucial for successful interceptions. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his agile movement and effective abilities for dislodging the ball from opponents. Utilize his dash to infiltrate the enemy's throwing lane, then use his guns to knock the ball loose, setting yourself up for an easy interception.

Mastering these techniques will help you intercept the ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in *Marvel Rivals*. For more on the game, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to unlock them.
