What Is an Interception in Clash of Dancing Lions in Marvel Rivals?

If you're not familiar with sports or haven't played games like *Rocket League*, the concept of an "interception" might sound foreign. But fear not, it's straightforward: intercepting the ball means taking it away from the opposing team. In Clash of Dancing Lions, there are plenty of chances to do this, but positioning yourself correctly is crucial.

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

In *Marvel Rivals*' newest mode, teams of three work together to score goals. Winning requires not only scoring but also preventing the other team from doing so. Intercepting the ball is a vital defensive strategy, and here's how you can master it:

The best way to intercept is to position yourself in your opponents' throwing lanes—the paths between two players where they're most likely to pass the ball. Identify two enemy players, anticipate their pass, and then use one of your abilities to swiftly enter their throwing lane. It might take a few attempts, but with the constant ball movement in Clash of Dancing Lions, you'll have numerous opportunities.

Another prime moment for interception is when an opponent is about to score. As they go for the goal, attack them to steal the ball. This approach is riskier, as you're the last line of defense, but it's a valuable tactic if you're aiming to complete the Spring Festival challenges.

Lastly, choose a character whose movement you're comfortable with. Star-Lord, for example, has excellent mobility and his abilities are perfect for intercepting the ball, even in crowded situations. Use his dash to quickly enter the enemy's throwing lane and his guns to knock the ball free, making it an easy interception.

Mastering these techniques will help you intercept the ball effectively in Clash of Dancing Lions in *Marvel Rivals*. For those looking for more achievements, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to unlock them.
