What a Spider-Tracer Is in Marvel Rivals & How To Use One

Mastering Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals requires understanding the crucial Spider-Tracer mechanic. This guide explains what it is and how to effectively use it in battle.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

While Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly explain Spider-Tracers, they're markers left behind after using Spider-Man's Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, Right Click on PC). Although Web-Cluster's damage is minimal, the Spider-Tracer is key to maximizing Spider-Man's combat potential. Don't underestimate this seemingly minor ability!

How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with Web-Cluster applies the tracer, dealing slight damage. The real power comes from the subsequent attack.

Applying a Spider-Tracer significantly boosts the damage and effect of several of Spider-Man's 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 you, Spider-Man is pulled towards the marked enemy. Useful for closing distance or engaging enemies in your backline.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Deals significantly increased damage to a marked enemy.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

Landing the Spider-Tracer is only half the battle. For maximum impact, try these combos:

• Amazing Combo followed by Spider-Power: This devastating combination delivers a powerful 110 damage burst (with the tracer).
• Get Over Here!: While risky against grouped enemies, this move's repositioning capability is invaluable for quickly engaging targets. Spider-Man's agility allows for a swift escape if needed.
