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

*Marvel Rivals*' newest mode pits teams of three against each other in a high-stakes game of scoring goals. The team with the most goals at the end of the match wins, making ball interception a crucial skill. Here are some strategies to master this technique:

• Positioning in Throwing Lanes: The key to intercepting the ball is to anticipate the opponents' passes. Identify the throwing lanes between two enemy players and position yourself to intercept the ball. As the enemy prepares to pass, use your character's abilities to dash into the lane and snatch the ball. With the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions, you'll have multiple opportunities to try this strategy.
• Defensive Interception: Another effective method is intercepting the ball right before your opponent attempts to score. This approach is riskier, as you're the last line of defense, but it can be highly rewarding, especially for completing Spring Festival challenges. Time your attack as your opponent goes for the goal and grab the ball away.
• Choosing the Right Character: Selecting a character with suitable movement abilities is essential for successful interceptions. Among the available characters, Star-Lord stands out with his exceptional mobility. Use his dash to quickly enter the enemy's throwing lane and then use his guns to knock the ball free, making it easier to intercept.
