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

The *Marvel Rivals* Spring Festival has arrived, introducing a new game mode: Clash of Dancing Lions. Progressing through the event's Battle Pass requires playing this mode and completing its challenges, particularly intercepting the ball. Let's break down how to do just that.

What Is an Interception in Clash of Dancing Lions?

If "interception" sounds unfamiliar, don't worry! It simply means stealing the ball from the opposing team. While opportunities abound in Clash of Dancing Lions, strategic positioning maximizes your chances.

How To Intercept the Ball in Clash of Dancing Lions

Marvel Rivals' new mode pits teams of three against each other in a fast-paced goal-scoring frenzy. Stopping your opponents is crucial, and intercepting the ball is a key strategy.

The most effective interception technique involves anticipating your opponents' passes. Identify the space between two enemy players—their likely passing lane—and position yourself there. As they prepare to pass, use your character's abilities to swoop in and snatch the ball. This may require some practice, but the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions provides ample opportunities.

Another approach is to intercept when an opponent believes they have an easy goal. While riskier—you're the last line of defense—this tactic is effective, especially for completing Spring Festival challenges.

Finally, character selection matters. Choose a character with movement abilities you're comfortable with. Star-Lord, for example, excels at this. His dash allows you to quickly enter enemy passing lanes, and his ranged attacks can easily dislodge the ball, creating an easy interception.

That's how to intercept the ball in Clash of Dancing Lions! Good luck mastering this skill and completing the Spring Festival challenges. For more Marvel Rivals tips and tricks, check out our guide on all Chronoverse Saga Achievements in Season 1.
