If you're diving into the action-packed world of *Marvel Rivals* as Spider-Man, mastering the use of the Spider-Tracer can significantly enhance your gameplay. Whether you're tackling challenges or just getting the hang of the Wall-Crawler's mechanics, understanding the Spider-Tracer is crucial.
What Is a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals?
In *Marvel Rivals*, the term "Spider-Tracer" frequently appears, but the game itself doesn't fully explain its purpose. Essentially, a Spider-Tracer is a marker that Spider-Man leaves on an opponent after using his Web-Cluster move (LT on console and Right Click on PC). Although the Web-Cluster doesn't deal significant damage, if you're a dedicated Peter Parker player, incorporating this move into your strategy can be game-changing. The Spider-Tracer can be the key to turning a solo battle in your favor.
How To Use a Spider-Tracer in Marvel Rivals
Understanding the mechanics of the Spider-Tracer is just the beginning; now, let's explore how to maximize its potential. The Web-Cluster comes with a five-shot load, allowing you to deploy up to five Spider-Tracers simultaneously. Simply press the Web-Cluster button and hit your opponent to attach a Spider-Tracer, which will cause minimal damage but set the stage for your next move.
When an enemy is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, your subsequent attacks are significantly enhanced, and in some instances, the functionality of your moves changes. Here’s how Spider-Man’s abilities are affected:
- Spider-Power (R2 on console and Left Click on PC): Swing your fists forward to strike, dealing extra damage to an enemy with a Spider-Tracer.
- Get Over Here! (R1 on console and E on PC): Shoot webbing to reel in the hit enemy. If the enemy is tagged with a Spider-Tracer, Spider-Man will be pulled towards 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 straightforward, but the real skill lies in what you do next. For maximum impact, consider using the Amazing Combo, which delivers a whopping 110 damage when combined with a Spider-Tracer. This move can catch opponents off-guard, allowing you to follow up with the standard Spider-Power to finish them off.
The Get Over Here! move can be a bit tricky because it pulls you towards the tagged enemy. This can be advantageous if an enemy infiltrates your backline, but it requires caution if they're supported by their team. Fortunately, Spider-Man's agility enables quick escapes, minimizing the risk of this maneuver.
Now you're equipped with the knowledge of what a Spider-Tracer is in *Marvel Rivals* and how to utilize it effectively. If you're interested in more achievements, here are all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to unlock them.
