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

In *Marvel Rivals*' latest mode, teams of three compete to score goals, with the team that scores the most winning the match. Preventing the opposition from scoring is as crucial as scoring yourself, and intercepting the ball is a key strategy.

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

Another opportune moment to intercept is when an opponent attempts an easy goal. As they prepare to score, attack them and grab the ball. This approach is riskier since you're the last line of defense, but it can be rewarding, especially if you're focused on completing the Spring Festival challenges.

Lastly, ensure you choose a character whose movement mechanics you're comfortable with. Missing an interception because you're unsure of your character's abilities can be frustrating. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his superior movement and abilities, which are perfect for knocking the ball away, even in crowded situations. Use his dash to enter the enemy's throwing lane and his guns to secure the interception.

That's how you can master the art of intercepting the ball in Clash of Dancing Lions in *Marvel Rivals*. For more on the game, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to achieve them.
