Spider-Tracers: Tracking Tech in Marvel Rivals

Mastering Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: A Comprehensive Guide

Whether you're a seasoned Spider-Man player or tackling a challenging Marvel Rivals match, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial for success. This guide explains what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it.

What is a Spider-Tracer?

While the game doesn't explicitly detail its function, a Spider-Tracer is 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, proving invaluable in solo battles.

How to Use a 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, boosting the impact of your next move. Here's how Spider-Man's abilities are affected:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to marked opponents.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy, Spider-Man is drawn towards the marked target. Useful for engaging enemies in your backline, but requires awareness of surrounding opponents.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts amplified damage on marked enemies.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

For maximum impact, combine the Spider-Tracer with the Amazing Combo (dealing 110 damage with a tracer), followed by a basic Spider-Power for a devastating finish. While Get Over Here! presents a risk when used with a Spider-Tracer due to the repositioning, its utility in quickly closing distance against backline enemies makes it worth mastering.

Conclusion

By effectively utilizing Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer, you can significantly enhance your combat effectiveness in Marvel Rivals. Mastering these techniques will elevate your gameplay and lead to victory.

Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
