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

Mastering Spider-Man's Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals for Victory

Whether you're a seasoned Spider-Man player or tackling a new challenge in Marvel Rivals, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic is crucial. This guide explains what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it in combat.

What is a Spider-Tracer?

While the game doesn't explicitly detail its function, a Spider-Tracer is a marker left by Spider-Man after using 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, making it a pivotal element in successful battles, especially for players who utilize Peter Parker as their primary character.

Utilizing the Spider-Tracer

The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, enabling the deployment of five Spider-Tracers simultaneously. Simply activate Web-Cluster and hit your opponent to apply the marker. While the initial hit causes minor damage, the real impact comes from the subsequent moves.

Spider-Tracers dramatically boost the effectiveness of certain Spider-Man abilities:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to marked enemies.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, Spider-Man is pulled towards the tagged opponent. Strategically use this when an enemy flanks your position.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts enhanced damage on marked enemies.

Optimal Spider-Tracer Combos

The key lies in effective follow-up attacks. For maximum impact, consider the following:

• Amazing Combo + Spider-Power: This combination delivers a potent 110 damage with a Spider-Tracer, often securing a swift victory.
• Get Over Here!: While risky in crowded situations, this move is invaluable for quickly closing the distance with a flanking enemy. Spider-Man's agility allows for a quick escape if necessary.
