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?

The Spider-Tracer move in Marvel Rivals. 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). Though the Web-Cluster itself inflicts minimal damage, the Spider-Tracer significantly enhances subsequent attacks, making it a vital tool for victory.

Utilizing the Spider-Tracer

The Web-Cluster has a five-shot capacity, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with Web-Cluster applies the tracer, boosting the damage and altering the function of specific moves.

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

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. This is useful for engaging backline enemies but requires awareness of surrounding opponents.
Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Delivers amplified damage to traced enemies.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

The key lies in strategic follow-up attacks. For maximum impact, combine the Spider-Tracer with the Amazing Combo (110 damage with a tracer) followed by a Spider-Power for a devastating finish.

While Get Over Here! with a Spider-Tracer changes your positioning, Spider-Man's agility allows for swift escapes, mitigating risk.
