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 new challenge in Marvel Rivals, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial for success. This guide explains what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it in combat.

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 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. For Peter Parker mains, mastering this mechanic is key to victory.

Utilizing the Spider-Tracer

The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with the Web-Cluster applies the tracer, boosting the damage and altering the functionality of certain moves:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to a Spider-Tracer marked enemy.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, this ability pulls you to the marked enemy. This is advantageous for repositioning, especially against enemies flanking your rear.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts heightened damage on a Spider-Tracer marked opponent.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

The real skill lies in combining the Spider-Tracer with other moves. The Amazing Combo, delivering 110 damage with a Spider-Tracer, is a powerful option. Follow up with a standard Spider-Power for maximum impact.

While Get Over Here! with a Spider-Tracer might seem risky due to the sudden repositioning, Spider-Man's agility allows for swift escapes, minimizing risk.

Conclusion

The Spider-Tracer is a powerful tool in Marvel Rivals. Mastering its use will significantly enhance your Spider-Man gameplay.

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