Mastering Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: A Comprehensive Guide
Whether you're a seasoned Spider-Man player or tackling a challenging match in 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.
What is a Spider-Tracer?
While Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly explain Spider-Tracers, they are essentially markers left by Spider-Man after using his Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, Right Click on PC). Although the Web-Cluster itself may seem underwhelming due to its low damage output, the Spider-Tracer it leaves behind is a game-changer, particularly for players who frequently use Peter Parker.
Utilizing the Spider-Tracer
The Web-Cluster has a five-shot capacity, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with the Web-Cluster applies the tracer, inflicting minimal damage but significantly enhancing your subsequent attacks. In some instances, it even alters the functionality of your moves.
Here's how Spider-Tracers affect Spider-Man's abilities:
- Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Inflicts increased damage on marked opponents.
- Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, this ability pulls you to the marked enemy.
- Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Deals amplified damage to traced enemies.
Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos
The true challenge lies in strategically combining the Spider-Tracer with other moves. For maximum impact:
- Amazing Combo followed by Spider-Power: This potent combination delivers a substantial 110 damage, leaving opponents vulnerable.
- Get Over Here!: While risky if your team isn't supporting you, this move is invaluable for quickly closing the distance to an enemy in your backline. Spider-Man's agility mitigates the risk.
Conclusion
Understanding and effectively employing the Spider-Tracer is key to maximizing Spider-Man's potential in Marvel Rivals. Master these techniques to dominate the battlefield. For further tips and strategies, check out our guide on Chronoverse Saga Achievements in Marvel Rivals Season 1.
