Clash of Dancing Lions is a 3-vs-3 soccer-style game mode set on the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda’s World Arena map, where two teams compete to keep control of the ball. Things are a little different here than in Marvel Rivals' normal game modes: You can’t injure or KO your enemies. You don’t die or respawn. The entire game is focused on which team can score the most points.

How to Play Clash of Dancing Lions
Clash of Dancing Lions is a 3-vs-3 soccer-style match. Each team begins the game on their respective side of the arena. The opposing team (as well as their goal) will be red by default, whereas you and your teammates (and your side of the court) will be blue. Your team needs to get the ball into the enemy team’s goal, while keeping your own goal safe. Each time a team scores, the ball will reset, with the team that was just scored on having control of the ball at the start.The first team to 10 points wins, and each goal scored is 3 points.
Below are some tips to perform well in Clash of Dancing Lions.
Don’t Hold Onto the Ball For Too Long
If you are in possession of the ball, you must keep it moving. This means that you can’t just hold the ball and run it into the enemy’s goal; you’ll get penalized and drop the ball if you hold it still for too long. You need to be constantly dribbling the ball (by throwing it forward with your primary attack button and picking it back up again) or passing it to a team member (by throwing it in their direction).
Walk The Ball Into the Goal
You must actively carry the ball inside the enemy team’s goal zone for the goal to count.Shooting the ball towards the goal zone from a distance will not register as going inside the goal. The best way to do this is to dribble the ball as close as possible to the edge of the enemy team’s goal zone before picking it back up and running it inside the goal zone (with your teammates slowing down the enemy team).
Work as a Team
This one might seem obvious, but working as a team is essential to victory. If one person has the ball, then the other two players on the team should be on the defensive (using their abilities to slow down and intercept members of the enemy team). All three playable characters are capable of playing offensively and defensively, withStar-LordandBlack Widowhaving significant advantages in controlling the ball thanks to their abilities to fly and sprint.
