Marvel Rivals: Spider-Tracer Guide

Whether mastering Spider-Man's gameplay or completing challenges, understanding this key mechanic is crucial for the Wall-Crawler in Marvel Rivals. Here's everything about Spider-Tracers and how to use them effectively in matches.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

While frequently mentioned throughout Marvel Rivals, the game doesn't clearly explain Spider-Tracers. These are markers Spider-Man leaves after using his Web-Cluster move (LT on console/Right Click on PC). Though often overlooked due to minimal damage output, this ability becomes game-changing for Spider-Man mains - often determining victory or defeat in solo encounters.

How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals

Mastering Spider-Tracers begins with understanding Web-Cluster's five-shot capacity, allowing five simultaneous tracers. Simply activate Web-Cluster and hit opponents to apply markers - while initially dealing minor damage, the strategic advantage comes from follow-up attacks.

Spider-Tracers amplify subsequent moves, sometimes altering their mechanics entirely. Here's how they enhance Spider-Man's abilities:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Basic punch attack deals bonus damage to tracer-marked enemies
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Normally pulls enemies toward you - reverses direction when they have a tracer, yanking Spider-Man toward them instead
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Launches enemies upward with increased damage against tracer-marked targets

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

While marking enemies is straightforward, optimizing follow-ups separates skilled players. For maximum impact, chain Amazing Combo (dealing 110 tracer-boosted damage) into basic Spider-Power attacks. This devastating combination often eliminates opponents before they can react.

Get Over Here! becomes high-risk/high-reward with tracers, as it propels Spider-Man toward marked enemies. This proves excellent for punishing isolated targets but dangerous against grouped opponents. Fortunately, Spider-Man's superior mobility provides escape options when engagements turn unfavorable.

Now that you understand Spider-Tracers, you're ready to web-sling with greater effectiveness. For those seeking more challenges, explore the Chronoverse Saga achievements available in Marvel Rivals Season 1.
