Web clusters	Secondary attack	Spider-Man's secondary attack fires a web-based projectile, dealing some damage to his targets. This ability also pays homage to Peter Parker's genius intellect by planting a spider-themed gadget known as the Spider-Tracer on his enemy.
Web swing	Ability activated	With the push of a button, Spider-Man fires a line of webbing and swings with enough speed to clear large sections of a stage. Players who attempt to push an escorted item a little further will be able to reach it faster than most of the game's roster with this ability.
Come here!	Ability activated	Much like Mortal Kombat's iconic move of the same name, this ability will drag an enemy from where they are standing into Spider-Man's range, perfect for enemies who are on target. If your enemy has a Spider-Tracer on him, Spider-Man will crawl towards him instead.

Tips and tricks for playing Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals

Spider-Man shoots a web in Marvel Rivals

As soon as they leave the spawn area, players should use Web-Sling to get closer to the objective. This ability is truly amazing in how quickly it can bring players back into the action. Players will want to evaluate the situation as a whole, using their Web to deal ranged damage to enemies and then moving closer to one of the affected enemies. Amazing Combo is perfect when the player has allies targeting an enemy from a distance, as it can interrupt the enemy's damage while leaving them at the mercy of the player's team.

If the player sees enemies clustering around the objective, he can move to an advantageous spot, then use Get Here! to push one of the enemies away from the objective. If there is a single enemy on the objective, he can instead use Web-Cluster to plant a Spider-Tracer on the enemy, then crawl towards the objective to deal more damage to the enemy.

Spider-Man works best with a team of players in constant voice communication. It's easy to underutilize this hero when playing in a casual group or with teammates who are unaware of your actions. Play aggressively by making the most of your superior mobility and hitting enemies often with Spider-Tracer.
