How To Intercept the Ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals

In *Marvel Rivals*' latest mode, teams of three compete to score goals, and preventing the other team from scoring is as vital as scoring yourself. Intercepting the ball is a powerful way to disrupt your opponents' plays. Here's how you can do it effectively:

First, focus on getting into your opponents' throwing lanes—the spaces between two players where they're likely to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and use one of your abilities to dive into that lane. It might take a few attempts, but with the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions, you'll have plenty of chances to intercept.

Another prime moment for interception is when your opponent is about to score an easy goal. As they prepare to throw the ball in, launch an attack to snatch it away. This approach can be risky, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a bold move that can pay off, especially if you're working through the Spring Festival challenges.

Lastly, choose a character whose movement you're comfortable with. Missing an opportunity because you're unsure of your character's abilities can be frustrating. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his superior movement. Use his dash to position yourself in the enemy's throwing lane, then use his guns to knock the ball free, making it an easy interception.

Mastering these interception techniques in Clash of Dancing Lions will not only help you progress through the Spring Festival Battle Pass but also enhance your overall gameplay in *Marvel Rivals*.
