What a Spider-Tracer Is in Marvel Rivals & How To Use One

Mastering Spider-Man in *Marvel Rivals* requires understanding a key mechanic: the Spider-Tracer. While the game doesn't explicitly explain it, the Spider-Tracer is a marker left behind after using Spider-Man's Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, right-click on PC). Although Web-Cluster itself inflicts minimal damage, the Spider-Tracer significantly enhances subsequent attacks, making it a crucial element of effective gameplay for Peter Parker mains.

Understanding and Utilizing Spider-Tracers

Web-Cluster has a five-shot capacity, allowing you to deploy up to five Spider-Tracers simultaneously. Simply hit the Web-Cluster button to target an opponent. While the initial hit deals minimal damage, the real power lies in what follows. A Spider-Tracer dramatically boosts the effectiveness of your next attack, sometimes even altering how the move functions.

Here's how Spider-Tracers impact Spider-Man's abilities:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Inflicts increased damage on a Spider-Tracer-marked enemy.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, you're pulled towards the Spider-Tracer-marked enemy. Use this strategically to close the distance or reposition.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Deals significantly more damage to a Spider-Tracer-marked enemy.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

The key is combining Spider-Tracers with other moves for maximum impact. For instance, Amazing Combo, boosted by a Spider-Tracer, delivers a powerful 110 damage burst, leaving your opponent vulnerable to a finishing Spider-Power attack.

Get Over Here!, while risky if the enemy team is nearby, can be incredibly effective for closing the gap on opponents who have moved into your backline. Spider-Man's agility allows for swift escapes, minimizing the risk.

Mastering Spider-Tracers is key to unlocking Spider-Man's full potential in *Marvel Rivals*. Now go forth and conquer!
