However, some characters are much more complicated to play than others, and Spider-Man is one of the most challenging duelists to learn and play. But don't worry. You can still dominate the arena as your favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, but you'll have to put in a little more time and effort than some of the other characters.

Overview of Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals
Spider-Man he's a tremendously strong hero in Marvel Rivals, but mastering his list of web-slinging moves will require a lot of effort and skill on your side. If you want to unlock Spider-Man's true potential, we I strongly urge you to tackle the Practice Range and familiarize yourself with everything it is capable of (which is A LOT).
Like most Duelists, Spider-Man doesn't have much health, but his the high mobility gives him more than enough evasiveness to make this no big deal if you're on the ball. While its damage is not the highest as for the Duelist Role, his the ability to slow and move enemies makes him a tremendously solid teammate overall.

However, with great power comes great responsibility, therefore make sure you feel comfortable enough with Spidey before jumping into the fray with him.

It gives Squirrel Girl a web bomb that she can hurl at an object or enemy to temporarily immobilize and damage them, making it an excellent team action for stopping invading enemies in their tracks. |
From the table above we can see it Spider-Man has many abilities at his disposal, this is what makes it so difficult to learn and play. Furthermore, since he must have an up close and personal approach with his opponent, it it can be difficult to get the choices you need or to apply pressure if you are not familiar with its tools.
Him thrives with a solid team composition that it can provide constant healing and it can help mitigate a lot of incoming damage. His high-level agility and mobility can make it a nuisance to deal with, but you need to get used to how to properly go through the stages with him, as it can be a little awkward at first.
Recommended teams
Still, Spider-Man is really complicated to play and needs a solid team around him to perform at his best. We strongly I recommend getting Venom on the team to exploit his Team up for the expulsion of the suit Skills and someone who likes it Luna Snow, who can constantly provide him with healing when he decides to dive.
His Ultimate Move is excellent, but it can be risky to throw it out there, so have someone like Rocket Raccoon who can increase his damage and provide healing it can also go a long way. From there, most other Duelists and Vanguards pair well with Spidey, as long as they help eliminate the damage and mitigate it.
With the addition of Squirrel girl on the roster, pairing Spidey get up with her she will give you even more options to temporarily slow the incoming enemy push, making it a powerful duo that you should consider racing with. While it's not extraordinarily strong, it will get the job done, and that's all you can really ask for!
How to play as Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals
In terms of flowchart, Spider-Man is very complex and offers many unique paths to begin his offensive. While it sticks to Spider-Tracer on your opponent via Web clusters AND it's almost always worth it, losing access to attract them to you doesn't always make this the case. Regardless, Spidey can be tricky to play, but he's remarkably fun once you get familiar with his toolkit!

Using Web-Swing to start your combos is a solid way to defeat your opponents, allowing you to engage on the hip or position yourself strategically before giving it your all.

However, if a the target is soft or weak, it keeps its distance from the Web Cluster to avoid placing a Spider-Tracer on it will have Come here! pull them towards you, permitting you and your teammates team up and defeat them quickly.

When to use the spectacular spin
Spectacular rotation It's Spider-Man's Supreme skill, have it spin in a tight circle as you launch an onslaught of webs at enemies at a wide distance around him. This move deals decent damage and stuns all targets in the area, making it an amazing tool for your team.
However, since your the goal is to be close to many enemies before performing this attack, you will need support before launching it. The good news, however, is Spidey's HP goes from 300 to 550 when he performs a Spectacular Spin, allowing him to withstand a lot of firepower.
Using Web-Swing > Web Cluster > Come here! TO fall on the opposition will allow you Use Spectacular Spin effectively. If Rocket Raccoon's ultimate ability is ready, its power will increase even more. While it can be used to initiate a push, make sure your team is on the same page, as it will simply be wasted instead. And nobody wants that.
While Spidey will be vulnerable during the spectacular ride, his boosted HP and any support from his teammates will pretty much negate any chance of him dying during the action. Executing it at the right time and place is where the weight of the risk comes from with his Ultimate Attack!
