How To Intercept the Ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals

In *Marvel Rivals*' latest mode, teams of three work together to score goals, and the team with the most goals at the end of the match emerges victorious. Preventing the other team from scoring is just as important as scoring yourself, and one effective strategy is intercepting the ball.

To increase your chances of intercepting, position yourself in your opponents' throwing lanes—the pathways between two players where they're most likely to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players preparing to pass, then use one of your character's abilities to swiftly move into their throwing lane and snag the ball. It might take a few attempts, but the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions provides ample opportunities.

Another prime moment to intercept is when an opponent seems poised to score an easy goal. As they attempt to throw the ball into the net, launch an attack to steal it. This approach is riskier, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a valuable tactic for completing the Spring Festival challenges.

Lastly, choose a character whose movement mechanics you're comfortable with, as this can make all the difference. Among the three available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his superior movement. His abilities allow you to easily knock the ball away, even in crowded situations. Utilize his dash to quickly enter the enemy's throwing lane and use his guns to secure the interception.
