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

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 Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly detail the Spider-Tracer, it's essentially a marker left by Spider-Man after deploying 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. For Peter Parker mains, mastering this mechanic is key to victory.

Utilizing the Spider-Tracer

The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, enabling five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Simply hit the Web-Cluster button to target an opponent. While the initial hit deals minor damage, the real impact comes next.

A Spider-Tracer on an enemy drastically boosts the damage and functionality of several of Spider-Man's moves:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): This punch delivers increased damage to a Spider-Tracer-marked opponent.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Normally pulls in the targeted enemy. With a Spider-Tracer, Spider-Man is pulled towards the enemy.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Launches the enemy upward, dealing amplified damage if they have a Spider-Tracer.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

The true skill lies in chaining Spider-Tracer application with devastating follow-up moves. The Amazing Combo, inflicting 110 damage with a Spider-Tracer, is exceptionally effective, often leading to a swift victory with a Spider-Power finisher.

Get Over Here!, while risky due to the reversed pull, can be strategically used to close the distance on a retreating enemy, particularly if they're isolated. Spider-Man's agility mitigates the risk involved.
