What Is an Interception in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals?

If you're not well-versed in sports or haven't played *Rocket League*, the term "interception" might sound foreign. But fear not—intercepting in *Marvel Rivals* simply means taking the ball away from the opposing team. In Clash of Dancing Lions, there are ample opportunities to do so, but positioning yourself correctly is crucial for success.

How To Intercept the Ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals

In *Marvel Rivals*' newest mode, teams of three must collaborate to score goals. The team with the highest score at the end of the match emerges victorious, making it essential to prevent the opponents from scoring. Intercepting the ball is a key strategy, though it can be challenging.

To intercept effectively, position yourself in your opponents' throwing lanes—the spaces between two players where they're likely to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and then use one of your abilities to jump into their throwing lane. It might take a few attempts, but with the high ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions, you'll have multiple chances to intercept.

Another prime opportunity for interception is when an opponent is about to score. As they attempt to throw the ball into the goal, attack them to seize the ball. This approach is risky since you're the last line of defense, but it's a worthwhile strategy if you're aiming to complete Spring Festival challenges.

Lastly, ensure you're using a character whose movement you're comfortable with. Missing an interception due to unfamiliarity with your character's abilities can be frustrating. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his superior movement. Use his dash to enter the enemy's throwing lane and his guns to knock the ball free, making it easy to intercept.

That's the rundown on how to intercept the ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in *Marvel Rivals*. For more on the game, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to achieve them.
