Whether you're mastering the art of swinging as Spider-Man or tackling challenging in-game objectives, understanding the Spider-Tracer mechanic in *Marvel Rivals* can significantly enhance your gameplay. Let's dive into what a Spider-Tracer is and how to effectively utilize it during matches.
What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?
The term "Spider-Tracer" is frequently mentioned in *Marvel Rivals*, yet the game doesn't fully clarify its purpose. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man leaves on an enemy after using his Web-Cluster move (activated by LT on console and Right Click on PC). Although the Web-Cluster doesn't deal significant damage, it becomes a crucial tool for Spider-Man players, as the Spider-Tracer can tip the scales in a one-on-one fight.
How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals
Understanding the utility of a Spider-Tracer is key to maximizing its impact. The Web-Cluster starts with a five-shot load, enabling you to tag up to five enemies simultaneously. To deploy a Spider-Tracer, simply press the Web-Cluster button and hit your target. While the initial impact might only cause minor damage, the real advantage comes with your follow-up moves.
When an enemy is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, your subsequent attacks are enhanced, and in some cases, their effects are altered. Here's how Spider-Man's moves interact with a Spider-Tracer:
- Spider-Power (R2 on console and Left Click on PC): Swing fists forward to strike, dealing extra damage to the enemy with a Spider-Tracer.
- Get Over Here! (R1 on console and E on PC): Shoot webbing to reel in the hit enemy. If the enemy is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, Spider-Man will be pulled to them instead.
- Amazing Combo (Square/X on Console and F on PC): Launch an enemy upward, dealing extra damage to the enemy with a Spider-Tracer.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals
While landing a Spider-Tracer is straightforward, the real skill lies in executing the right follow-up. For maximum impact, consider using the Amazing Combo, which inflicts a whopping 110 damage when enhanced by a Spider-Tracer. This move can catch opponents off-guard, setting you up for a finishing blow with the basic Spider-Power.
The Get Over Here! move can be a bit more challenging due to the dynamic change where Spider-Man gets pulled toward the tagged enemy. This can be advantageous when isolating an enemy in your backline, but requires caution if their team is nearby. Fortunately, Spider-Man's agility allows for quick escapes, minimizing the risk associated with this move.
