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

Mastering Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals involves understanding a crucial mechanic: the Spider-Tracer. This guide explains what it is and how to effectively utilize it.

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). Though Web-Cluster itself might seem underwhelming due to its low damage output, the Spider-Tracer is a game-changer, especially for Peter Parker mains. Mastering its use can significantly improve your chances of winning solo battles.

How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, allowing you to deploy five Spider-Tracers simultaneously. Simply hit the Web-Cluster button and target your opponent. While the initial hit deals minimal damage, the real power lies in what follows.

A Spider-Tracer significantly enhances your subsequent attacks, sometimes even altering their function. Here's how it affects Spider-Man's moves:

• Spider-Power (R2 on console, Left Click on PC): This punch delivers increased damage to a Spider-Tracer-marked enemy.
• Get Over Here! (R1 on console, E on PC): Normally pulls in a hit enemy. With a Spider-Tracer, Spider-Man is pulled towards the marked enemy.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X on console, F on PC): Launches an enemy upward, dealing extra damage if they're marked with a Spider-Tracer.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

Landing the Spider-Tracer is only half the battle; choosing the right follow-up is key. For maximum impact, try the Amazing Combo, which deals a hefty 110 damage with a Spider-Tracer, followed by a basic Spider-Power to finish off your opponent.

Get Over Here!, when combined with a Spider-Tracer, can be a risky yet rewarding tactic. While useful for quickly closing the distance on a fleeing enemy, it's crucial to assess your surroundings; it's less effective if the enemy team is providing support. Fortunately, Spider-Man's agility allows for swift escapes if necessary.
