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

In *Marvel Rivals*'s latest mode, teams of three compete to score goals, making ball interception a vital strategy. The team with the highest score at the end of the match emerges victorious, so preventing the opponents from scoring is just as important as scoring yourself. Here's how you can master the art of intercepting the ball:

To increase your chances of intercepting the ball, position yourself in the opponents' throwing lanes—the paths between two players where they are most likely to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and then use one of your abilities to swiftly move into their throwing lane. It might take a few attempts to get it right, but the high volume of ball movement in this mode offers numerous opportunities for interception.

Another prime moment for interception is when an opponent believes they have a clear shot at the goal. As they prepare to score, launch an attack to disrupt them and seize the ball. This approach carries risk, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a worthwhile strategy if you're focused on completing Spring Festival challenges.

Finally, choose a character whose movement mechanics you're comfortable with. This is essential to capitalize on interception opportunities. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his superior movement capabilities. His dash ability allows you to quickly enter an enemy's throwing lane, and his guns can knock the ball loose, making it easier to intercept. Utilize these skills to gain an edge in the game.

Mastering the interception technique in Clash of Dancing Lions will enhance your performance in *Marvel Rivals* and help you progress through the Spring Festival Battle Pass.
