Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals Unleashed: How to Maximize Usage

Mastering Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: A Comprehensive Guide

Whether you're a seasoned Spider-Man player or new to Marvel Rivals, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial for success. This guide will explain what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it in combat.

What is a Spider-Tracer?

The Spider-Tracer is a marker left behind after Spider-Man uses his Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, Right Click on PC). While the Web-Cluster itself deals minimal damage, the Spider-Tracer significantly enhances subsequent attacks. Its strategic application can be the deciding factor in winning or losing a battle.

How to Use a Spider-Tracer

The Web-Cluster has a five-shot capacity, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Simply hit the Web-Cluster button to deploy it and tag your opponent. While the initial hit inflicts minimal damage, the real power lies in the boosted attacks that follow.

Spider-Tracer-Enhanced Moves

A Spider-Tracer applied to an enemy dramatically increases the effectiveness of several of Spider-Man's moves:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals significantly increased damage to a Spider-Tracer-marked opponent.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, this move now pulls you to the marked enemy. This is useful for closing the distance but requires awareness of surrounding enemies.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts substantially higher damage on a marked enemy.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

For maximum impact, combine the Spider-Tracer with the Amazing Combo, which delivers impressive damage (110 with a Spider-Tracer). Follow up with a standard Spider-Power for a potentially devastating finishing move.

While Get Over Here! changes its function with a Spider-Tracer, making it a high-risk, high-reward maneuver, Spider-Man's agility helps mitigate the risk.

Conclusion

The Spider-Tracer is a powerful tool in Marvel Rivals. Mastering its use will significantly improve your Spider-Man gameplay. Remember to strategically deploy your Web-Cluster and follow up with the appropriate enhanced moves for optimal results.

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