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

In *Marvel Rivals*' latest mode, you'll team up in groups of three to score goals against your opponents. The team with the highest score at the end of the match takes home the victory, so preventing the other team from scoring is just as important as scoring yourself. One effective strategy is intercepting the ball, but it's not always easy.

The best way to intercept the ball is to position yourself in your opponents' throwing lanes. These are the paths between two players where they're most likely to pass the ball. Spot two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and then leap into their throwing lane using one of your character's abilities. It might take a few tries, but with the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions, you'll have plenty of chances.

Another prime opportunity to intercept is when an opponent thinks they've got an easy shot at goal. As they prepare to toss the ball in, strike fast and snatch it away. This approach can be risky since you're the last line of defense, but if you're aiming to complete those Spring Festival challenges, it's a strategy worth trying.

Lastly, make sure you're playing a character whose movement you're comfortable with. Nothing's worse than missing an interception because you're not familiar with your character's abilities. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his superior mobility. Use his dash to cut into the enemy's throwing lane, and then use his guns to knock the ball loose for an easy interception.

And that's how you master intercepting the ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in *Marvel Rivals*. If you're eager to explore more, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to unlock them.
