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 challenging Marvel Rivals match, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial for victory. This guide explains 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're essentially markers left behind after Spider-Man uses 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 essential.

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, boosting the damage and altering the function 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 Spider-Man, this ability pulls Spider-Man to the marked enemy.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts enhanced damage to a marked opponent.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

Landing a Spider-Tracer is only half the battle; strategic follow-up is key. The Amazing Combo, dealing a substantial 110 damage with a Spider-Tracer, is a powerful option. Following up with a standard Spider-Power can quickly eliminate the opponent.

While Get Over Here! with a Spider-Tracer propels Spider-Man towards the enemy, use caution when the enemy team is providing support. However, Spider-Man's agility mitigates the risk.
