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

Mastering Spider-Man in *Marvel Rivals* involves understanding a key mechanic: the Spider-Tracer. While the game doesn't explicitly explain it, this guide breaks down what it is and how to effectively utilize it.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

A Spider-Tracer is a marker left behind after using Spider-Man's Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, Right Click on PC). Although Web-Cluster itself may seem underwhelming due to its low damage output, the Spider-Tracer it leaves behind is crucial for maximizing Spider-Man's combat potential. For Peter Parker mains, mastering this mechanic is key to victory.

How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, allowing you to deploy five Spider-Tracers simultaneously. Hitting an opponent with Web-Cluster applies the Spider-Tracer, inflicting minor damage but significantly enhancing your follow-up attacks.

Here's how Spider-Tracers modify 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, this move pulls you to the marked enemy. Useful for closing the distance or engaging enemies in your backline, but use caution against grouped opponents.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Deals increased damage to a Spider-Tracer-marked enemy.

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 these combos:

• Amazing Combo followed by Spider-Power: This devastating combination deals significant damage (110 with the Spider-Tracer bonus).
• Get Over Here!: While risky against multiple enemies, this move allows for quick repositioning and can be highly effective against lone opponents.
