Q & A

What is Spider-Man's role in Rivals?

Spider-Man is an opportunistic backline assassin, focusing on taking out key targets during a fight. His role requires precise mobility and timing to maximize his effectiveness.

Why is Spider-Man considered a difficult character to play?

Spider-Man is classified as a five-star difficulty hero due to his squishy nature, high mobility, and the need for precise timings to chain his abilities and attacks effectively.

What is Spider-Man's primary attack, and how does it work?

Spider-Man's primary attack is 'Spider Power,' a combo of two punches followed by a kick. The kick has more range and damage but is slower than the punches.

How does Spider-Man's 'Web Cluster' ability work?

'Web Cluster' is a projectile attack that marks enemies with the 'Sticky' debuff. This debuff is critical for maximizing damage as it can be consumed by Spider-Man's other abilities for bonus damage.

What are the mechanics behind Spider-Man's 'Get Over Here' ability?

'Get Over Here' has two uses depending on the enemy's status. If the target is not marked with 'Sticky,' Spider-Man reels them in to melee range. If the enemy is marked, Spider-Man dashes to them, setting up a follow-up combo.

What is Spider-Man’s bread and butter combo?

Spider-Man’s bread and butter combo involves firing a 'Sticky' attack, using 'Get Over Here' to close the gap, then following up with an uppercut to deal damage. Afterward, Spider-Man can either disengage with 'Web Swing' or continue the combo for further damage.

What is the purpose of Spider-Man’s 'Spectacular Spin' ultimate ability?

'Spectacular Spin' is Spider-Man’s ultimate ability that applies the 'Sticky' debuff to all enemies around him, dealing damage and briefly stunning them if they are hit by the full duration of the attack.

What are the benefits of Spider-Man's passive abilities?

Spider-Man has two passive abilities: 'Spider Sense,' which alerts him when unseen enemies enter his radius, and 'Wall Crawl,' which allows him to cling to walls and ceilings to ambush enemies.

How should Spider-Man players handle tanky characters in Rivals?

Spider-Man players should avoid focusing on tank characters as they have large health pools and are difficult to eliminate. Instead, they should target squishy backline heroes who are isolated or lack mobility.

How do team-ups work for Spider-Man in Rivals?

Spider-Man has two team-ups: a passive 10% damage increase when paired with Squirrel Girl, and a special ability, 'Suit Expulsion,' when teamed with Venom, which creates a damaging circle around Spider-Man and knocks enemies back.
