How To Intercept the Ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals

*Marvel Rivals*' latest mode pits teams of three against each other in a race to score goals. The team with the highest score at the end of the match emerges victorious, making ball interception a vital strategy to prevent your opponents from scoring. Here's how you can master this skill:

To increase your chances of intercepting the ball, position yourself in the opponents' throwing lanes—the paths they're most likely to use to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and then swiftly move into their throwing lane using one of your character's abilities. It may take a few attempts, but the dynamic nature of Clash of Dancing Lions ensures plenty of opportunities.

Another strategic moment to intercept is when an opponent is about to score an easy goal. As they prepare to shoot, launch an attack to snatch the ball away. This approach carries risks, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a valuable tactic for completing Spring Festival challenges.

Selecting the right character is also crucial. You'll want someone whose movement you're comfortable with to seize interception opportunities effectively. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his superior mobility. Utilize his dash to infiltrate the enemy's throwing lane and use his guns to knock the ball free, making for an easy interception.
