Spider-Tracer Guide: Usage in Marvel Rivals

Whether you're trying to master the art of swinging through the city as Spider-Man or tackling challenging missions, there's a crucial mechanic you need to know about in *Marvel Rivals*: the Spider-Tracer. Here's a breakdown of what a Spider-Tracer is and how you can leverage it during your matches.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

In *Marvel Rivals*, the term "Spider-Tracer" might sound familiar, yet the game itself offers little explanation. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man leaves on an enemy after using his Web-Cluster move (LT on console and Right Click on PC). While you might not use Web-Cluster often due to its minimal damage output, it's a game-changer for Spider-Man mains. The Spider-Tracer can tip the scales in a one-on-one fight, making it a vital tool in your arsenal.

How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

Understanding the Spider-Tracer's potential is just the beginning. To maximize its benefits, you need to know how to use it effectively. The Web-Cluster starts with a five-shot load, enabling you to tag up to five enemies at once with Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with Web-Cluster will apply a Spider-Tracer, causing minor damage initially, but setting the stage for your next move.

When an enemy is marked with a Spider-Tracer, your subsequent attacks gain a significant boost, and in some cases, they can even alter the behavior of your moves. Here's how Spider-Man's abilities are enhanced by a Spider-Tracer:

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

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

Landing a Spider-Tracer is straightforward, but deciding the next move is where the real strategy comes into play. To maximize damage, consider executing an Amazing Combo, which can deliver a whopping 110 damage to a marked enemy. This move can catch your opponent off guard, allowing you to follow up with a basic Spider-Power to finish them off.

Using Get Over Here! can be a bit trickier because it will pull you toward the marked enemy. This can be advantageous if you need to close the distance quickly, especially if an enemy is encroaching on your backline. However, be cautious if the enemy is backed by their team, as you might find yourself in a dangerous position. Fortunately, Spider-Man's agility allows for quick escapes, minimizing the risk.
