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

In *Marvel Rivals*'s latest mode, teams of three collaborate to score goals. The team with the highest score at the end of the match emerges victorious, making it crucial to prevent the opponents from scoring. Intercepting the ball is a vital strategy, though it can be challenging to execute.

The most effective way to intercept the ball is to position yourself in the opponents' throwing lanes—the areas between two players where they are most likely to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and swiftly move into their throwing lane using one of your abilities. It might take a few attempts, but with the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions, multiple opportunities will arise.

Another opportune moment to intercept is when your opponent attempts an easy goal. As they prepare to score, launch an attack to seize the ball. While this approach carries risk, as you're the last line of defense, it's a valuable strategy for completing Spring Festival challenges.

Ensure you choose a character whose movement you're comfortable with, as missing opportunities due to unfamiliarity can be frustrating. Among the available characters, Star-Lord offers superior movement. His abilities facilitate knocking the ball away, even in crowded situations. Utilize his dash to enter the enemy's throwing lane and use his guns to secure the interception.

Mastering these techniques will help you intercept the ball effectively in Clash of Dancing Lions in *Marvel Rivals*. For more on the game, explore all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to achieve them.
