Whether you're mastering Spider-Man's moves or tackling a challenging *Marvel Rivals* match, understanding Spider-Tracers is key. This guide explains what they are and how to use them effectively.

What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?

While Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly explain Spider-Tracers, they're essentially markers left by Spider-Man after using his Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, Right Click on PC). Although Web-Cluster's damage is minimal, the Spider-Tracer it leaves behind is crucial for maximizing Spider-Man's combat potential, particularly in solo battles. Mastering this mechanic transforms Peter Parker from a decent character to a formidable force.

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, inflicting minor damage but significantly boosting your subsequent attacks. Some moves even function differently when a Spider-Tracer is active. Here's how Spider-Man's moves are affected:

• Spider-Power (R2/Left Click): Deals increased damage to traced enemies.
• Get Over Here! (R1/E): Instead of pulling the enemy to you, this move pulls you to the traced enemy.
• Amazing Combo (Square/X/F): Inflicts extra damage to traced enemies.

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in Marvel Rivals

Landing the Spider-Tracer is only half the battle; choosing the right follow-up move is critical. For maximum impact, try this combo:

1. Apply a Spider-Tracer with Web-Cluster.
2. Execute Amazing Combo for significant damage (110 damage with a tracer).
3. Finish with Spider-Power for a devastating final blow.

Get Over Here!, while risky, can be effective for closing the distance, especially if an enemy flanks you. Spider-Man's agility helps mitigate the risk of this maneuver.
