Marvel Rivals' Spring Festival event has arrived, introducing an exciting new mode. To advance through the event's Battle Pass, players must participate and complete specific challenges. Here's your complete guide to intercepting the ball effectively in the Clash of Dancing Lions game mode.
Understanding Interceptions in Marvel Rivals' Clash of Dancing Lions

While Clash of Dancing Lions offers numerous chances to intercept the ball, positioning yourself strategically will significantly improve your success rate.

Mastering Ball Interceptions in Clash of Dancing Lions
This new 3v3 mode requires coordinated teamwork to score goals. Preventing opponents from scoring becomes crucial, though stealing the ball proves challenging in practice.
The most effective interception strategy involves positioning yourself in opponents' throwing lanes - the spaces between players where passes most frequently occur. Observe enemy positioning, anticipate their passes, and use character abilities to disrupt these lanes. While mastering this technique takes practice, the fast-paced nature of Clash of Dancing Lions provides ample opportunities.
Another prime interception moment arises when opponents attempt easy shots. Attack during their wind-up to steal possession. Though risky since you're the last line of defense, this approach remains worthwhile for completing Spring Festival challenges.
Character selection proves vital - choose heroes whose movement abilities you've mastered. Among the available options, Star-Lord stands out with superior mobility tools. His dash ability excels at disrupting passing lanes, while his ranged attacks effectively displace the ball even in crowded situations.
