Mastering Spider-Man in *Marvel Rivals* requires understanding the crucial Spider-Tracer mechanic. This guide explains what it is and how to effectively use it in battle.
What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

While Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly explain Spider-Tracers, they're markers left behind after using Spider-Man's Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, Right Click on PC). Although Web-Cluster's damage is minimal, the Spider-Tracer significantly impacts subsequent attacks, making it a key element of effective Spider-Man gameplay.
How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals
The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, allowing for five simultaneous Spider-Tracers. Hitting an opponent with Web-Cluster applies the Tracer, boosting your next attack's damage and sometimes altering its function.
Here's how Spider-Tracers enhance Spider-Man's moves:
- Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to Tracer-marked enemies.
- Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, this move pulls you to the Tracer-marked enemy.
- Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts extra damage on Tracer-marked opponents.
Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals
Landing the Spider-Tracer is only half the battle; choosing the right follow-up is crucial. For maximum impact, try these combos:
- Amazing Combo + Spider-Power: This devastating combo deals a significant 110 damage (with the Spider-Tracer).
- Get Over Here!: Use this strategically. While it can be advantageous for quickly closing the distance on a flanking enemy, consider your team's positioning to avoid being surrounded.
