What a Spider-Tracer Is in Marvel Rivals & How To Use One

by Joshua Mar 19,2025

Mastering Spider-Man in *Marvel Rivals* requires understanding the often-overlooked Spider-Tracer mechanic. This guide breaks down what it is and how to use it effectively.

What is a Spider-Tracer in *Marvel Rivals*?

The Spider-Tracer move in Marvel Rivals.

While Marvel Rivals doesn't explicitly explain Spider-Tracers, they're essentially markers left behind after using Spider-Man's Web-Cluster ability (LT on console, Right Click on PC). Although Web-Cluster's direct damage is minimal, the Spider-Tracer it leaves behind is crucial for maximizing Spider-Man's combat potential, especially in solo battles.

How to Use a Spider-Tracer in *Marvel Rivals*

The Web-Cluster starts with five charges, allowing you to deploy up to five Spider-Tracers simultaneously. Hitting an opponent with Web-Cluster applies the tracer, dealing minor damage but significantly boosting your subsequent attacks. In some cases, it fundamentally alters how your moves function.

Here's how Spider-Tracers enhance Spider-Man's abilities:

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

Best Spider-Tracer Combos in *Marvel Rivals*

Effectively using Spider-Tracers is key. For maximum impact, try these combos:

  • Amazing Combo followed by Spider-Power: This devastating sequence delivers a powerful 110 damage burst to a traced opponent.
  • Get Over Here!: While risky if your team isn't supporting you, this can be effective for quickly closing the distance on an enemy who has entered your backline. Spider-Man's agility helps mitigate the risk.
