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. This guide details what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it.

What is a Spider-Tracer?

While Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly explain it, 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, making it a vital tool for Peter Parker players.

How to Use a Spider-Tracer

The Web-Cluster has a five-shot capacity, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with the Web-Cluster applies the tracer, boosting your next attack's power and sometimes altering its functionality.

Spider-Man moves affected by Spider-Tracers:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to tagged opponents.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy, Spider-Man is pulled towards the tagged opponent.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts extra damage on marked enemies.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

For maximum impact, combine the Spider-Tracer with the Amazing Combo, dealing a substantial 110 damage. Follow up with a standard Spider-Power for a potentially decisive blow.

Using Get Over Here! with a Spider-Tracer can be risky if the enemy has support. However, Spider-Man's agility allows for swift escapes, minimizing the risk.

Conclusion

The Spider-Tracer is a powerful yet often overlooked mechanic in Marvel Rivals. Mastering its use elevates Spider-Man's combat effectiveness considerably. This guide provides the foundation for effectively utilizing this crucial ability.

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