Whether you're trying to master the art of swinging through the city as Spider-Man or aiming to conquer a specific challenge in *Marvel Rivals*, there's a crucial mechanic you need to understand: the Spider-Tracer. Let's dive into what a Spider-Tracer is and how you can leverage it during your matches.
What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?
The term "Spider-Tracer" frequently appears in *Marvel Rivals*, yet the game itself doesn't provide a clear explanation of what it entails. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man places on an enemy using his Web-Cluster move (activated by LT on consoles and Right Click on PC). Although the Web-Cluster doesn't inflict significant damage, it's a vital tool if you're playing as Peter Parker. The Spider-Tracer can tip the scales in your favor during solo battles, making it an essential part of your strategy.
How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals
Understanding the Spider-Tracer is one thing, but knowing how to maximize its potential is key. The Web-Cluster starts with a five-shot load, allowing you to tag up to five enemies at once. To apply a Spider-Tracer, simply hit your opponent with the Web-Cluster. While the initial hit causes minimal damage, the real power comes from what you do next.
When an enemy is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, your subsequent attacks gain a significant boost, and in some cases, the mechanics of your moves change. Here's how Spider-Man's abilities are enhanced by a Spider-Tracer:
- Spider-Power (R2 on console and Left Click on PC): Swing your fists forward to strike, dealing extra damage to enemies tagged with a Spider-Tracer.
- Get Over Here! (R1 on console and E on PC): Shoot webbing to reel in the hit enemy. If they're marked 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 if they have a Spider-Tracer.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals
Landing a Spider-Tracer is the easy part; the real challenge lies in capitalizing on it. For maximum impact, start with the Amazing Combo, which delivers a hefty 110 damage when combined with a Spider-Tracer. This can catch your opponent off guard, allowing you to follow up with the base Spider-Power to finish them off.
Using Get Over Here! can be a bit tricky. When activated with a Spider-Tracer, you'll be launched towards your tagged enemy. This can be advantageous if an enemy breaches your backline, but it's riskier if their entire team is nearby. Thankfully, Spider-Man's agility allows for a quick getaway, minimizing the risk of using this move.
