Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals: Usage Guide

Whether you’re aiming to master Spider-Man's skills or tackle a specific challenge in *Marvel Rivals*, understanding the Wall-Crawler’s unique mechanics can be a game-changer. One such mechanic is the Spider-Tracer. Let's dive into what a Spider-Tracer is in *Marvel Rivals* and explore how to leverage it during a match.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

The term "Spider-Tracer" frequently appears in *Marvel Rivals*, yet the game itself leaves much to be explained about this feature. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man leaves on an opponent after using his Web-Cluster move (activated by LT on console and Right Click on PC). While the Web-Cluster might not deal substantial damage, making it less frequently used, it's crucial for Spider-Man mains to incorporate it into their strategy. The Spider-Tracer can significantly alter the outcome of solo battles, tipping the scales in your favor.

How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

Understanding the mechanics of the Spider-Tracer is just the beginning; mastering its use is where the real advantage lies. The Web-Cluster move starts with a five-shot load, enabling you to apply up to five Spider-Tracers at once. To tag an enemy, simply press the Web-Cluster button and land a hit. Although it inflicts minimal damage initially, the subsequent moves you execute can make your opponent rethink their strategy.

Having a Spider-Tracer on an enemy greatly enhances your next attack and can even modify the behavior of your moves. Here's a breakdown of Spider-Man's moves affected by a Spider-Tracer and their enhanced effects:

• Spider-Power (R2 on console and Left Click on PC): Unleash a forward punch that deals extra damage to enemies marked with a Spider-Tracer.
• Get Over Here! (R1 on console and E on PC): Launch webbing to pull in the targeted enemy. If the enemy has a Spider-Tracer, Spider-Man is pulled to them instead.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X on Console and F on PC): Propel an enemy upward, inflicting additional damage if they're tagged with a Spider-Tracer.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

While landing a Spider-Tracer might seem straightforward, the true challenge lies in choosing the optimal follow-up strategy. For maximum impact, consider executing the Amazing Combo, which delivers a whopping 110 damage when used on an enemy with a Spider-Tracer. This can catch your opponent off-guard, allowing you to quickly follow up with the base Spider-Power to finish them off.

The Get Over Here! move requires careful consideration due to its altered effect with a Spider-Tracer—instead of pulling the enemy to you, you're pulled to them. This can be advantageous when an enemy breaches your backline, but it's risky if they're backed by their team. Thankfully, Spider-Man's agility lets you escape swiftly, minimizing the risk of using this move.

And there you have it—a comprehensive guide on what a Spider-Tracer is in *Marvel Rivals* and how to effectively use one. For those looking to explore more, here are all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and tips on how to achieve them.
