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

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

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

A Spider-Tracer is a marker left behind after Spider-Man uses his Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, Right Click on PC). Although Web-Cluster itself doesn't deal significant damage, the Spider-Tracer is key to maximizing Spider-Man's combat potential. It's essential for 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. Hitting an opponent with Web-Cluster applies the tracer, dealing minor damage. The real power comes from the significant boost it provides to your subsequent attacks.

Several of Spider-Man's moves are enhanced by Spider-Tracers:

• 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, you are pulled to the marked enemy.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Deals increased damage to a Spider-Tracer-marked enemy.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

The most impactful combo involves landing a Spider-Tracer followed by Amazing Combo (110 damage with the tracer bonus), then transitioning to Spider-Power for a finishing blow.

Get Over Here!, while risky, can be strategically used to close the distance quickly, particularly when an enemy flanks you. Spider-Man's mobility allows for swift escapes if necessary.
