How To Intercept the Ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals
*Marvel Rivals*' latest mode pits teams of three against each other, challenging you and your teammates to score goals. The team with the highest score at the end of the match emerges victorious, making it crucial to prevent your opponents from scoring. Intercepting the ball is a strategic way to achieve this, though it can be challenging.
To increase your chances of intercepting the ball, position yourself in your opponents' throwing lanes—the spaces between two players where they're most likely to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and swiftly move into their throwing lane using one of your character's abilities. It might take a few attempts, but the dynamic nature of Clash of Dancing Lions offers numerous opportunities for interceptions.
Another prime moment to intercept is when an opponent is about to score an easy goal. As they prepare to throw the ball in, launch an attack to seize it. This approach is riskier, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a worthwhile strategy for completing Spring Festival challenges.
Lastly, ensure you're comfortable with the movement of the character you're playing. Nothing is more frustrating than missing an interception due to unfamiliarity with your character's abilities. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his superior movement. Use his dash to position yourself in the enemy's throwing lane and his guns to knock the ball away, even in crowded situations, making for an easy interception.
