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

*Marvel Rivals*' newest mode, Clash of Dancing Lions, pits teams of three against each other in a thrilling goal-scoring challenge. Winning requires not just scoring but also preventing the other team from doing the same. Intercepting the ball is a crucial strategy to disrupt your opponents' plays.

To intercept effectively, position yourself in your opponents' throwing lanes—the paths they're likely to use to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players and anticipate their pass. As they prepare to throw, swiftly move into their lane using one of your abilities. It might take a few attempts, but with the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions, opportunities abound.

Another prime moment for interception is when an opponent seems poised to score an easy goal. As they go for the shot, intercept and grab the ball. This approach can be risky, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a worthwhile tactic for completing Spring Festival challenges.

Lastly, ensure the character you're playing has movement abilities you're comfortable with. Missing an interception due to unfamiliarity with your character's controls can be frustrating. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his exceptional movement. Use his dash to quickly enter an enemy's throwing lane and his guns to knock the ball free, making for an easy interception.

Mastering these techniques will help you intercept the ball successfully in Clash of Dancing Lions in *Marvel Rivals*. For more achievements to conquer, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to unlock them.
