"Spider-Tracer: What It Is and Usage Guide in Marvel Rivals"

Whether you're trying to master playing as Spider-Man or aiming to conquer a challenging match, there's a crucial mechanic you need to understand in *Marvel Rivals*: the Spider-Tracer. Here's a detailed look at what a Spider-Tracer is and how you can leverage it during gameplay.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

In *Marvel Rivals*, the term "Spider-Tracer" frequently appears, yet the game itself offers little explanation. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man leaves on an enemy after using his Web-Cluster move (activated by LT on consoles and Right Click on PC). Although the Web-Cluster doesn't deal significant damage, making it less commonly used, it's a game-changer for players maining Peter Parker. The Spider-Tracer can be the deciding factor between winning and losing a solo battle.

How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

Understanding the Spider-Tracer is just the beginning; mastering its use is where the real fun starts. The Web-Cluster move comes equipped with a five-shot load, allowing you to deploy up to five Spider-Tracers simultaneously. To use one, simply hit the Web-Cluster button and aim at your opponent. They'll receive minor damage, but the real impact comes from what you do next.

When an enemy is marked with a Spider-Tracer, your subsequent attacks are significantly enhanced, and some moves even function differently. Below is a list of Spider-Man’s moves affected by a Spider-Tracer and how they operate:

• Spider-Power (R2 on console and Left Click on PC): Swing your fists forward to strike, dealing extra damage to an enemy marked with a Spider-Tracer.
• Get Over Here! (R1 on console and E on PC): Shoot webbing to reel in the hit enemy. If the enemy is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, Spider-Man will be pulled towards them instead.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X on Console and F on PC): Launch an enemy upward, dealing extra damage if they are marked with a Spider-Tracer.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

Landing a Spider-Tracer is straightforward, but the true challenge lies in deciding your next move. For maximum impact, consider executing the Amazing Combo, which delivers an impressive 110 damage when the enemy is marked with a Spider-Tracer. This can be a devastating blow, setting you up to finish them off with the base Spider-Power.

Using Get Over Here! with a Spider-Tracer can be tricky, as it propels you towards the marked enemy. This can be advantageous if an enemy infiltrates your backline, but it's riskier if they're backed by their team. Fortunately, Spider-Man's mobility ensures you can quickly escape if needed, minimizing the risks associated with this move.
