The Pylon Glove represents a revolutionary addition to the game's arsenal, available for 24,500 slaps with impressive stats of 50 Power and 16 Speed, allowing players to place electric pylons that automatically zap nearby opponents and create linked electric barriers when multiple pylons are deployed.
The Pylon Glove fundamentally shifts battlefield control through its unique zoning capabilities. When you press E, an electric pylon materializes at your current position, creating an autonomous defense system. The real strategic depth emerges when placing two pylons - they automatically link together with an electric beam that damages and knocks back any player attempting to pass through, functioning like a mobile fortress system.
Chokepoint Domination: Position pylons at map bottlenecks where enemies must pass through. The narrow passages amplify the defensive value exponentially.
Aggressive Trapping Network: Deploy pylons along common movement paths and popular camping spots to catch experienced players off-guard with the element of surprise. The psychological impact of visible electric barriers often forces opponents into predictable movements.
Multi-Pylon Fortress: With the 4-second cooldown, maintain a constantly shifting defensive perimeter. Players can typically maintain 3-4 active pylons depending on server size, with older pylons automatically disappearing when new ones exceed the limit.
Combo Synergies That Dominate:
Understanding weaknesses helps both defenders and attackers. Gloves with vertical mobility or teleportation abilities like Spring, Balloony, Warp, and Swapper can bypass electric fences entirely. Fast-moving players can sometimes slip through gaps between pylon placements, especially during the cooldown period.
The Paint Glove now features a permanent unlock method through the Takeover Event, requiring players to complete the Splat Battles mode challenge by painting 35,000 studs and defeating a bot in a championship round to earn the Color Splash badge.
The Paint Glove introduces Splatoon-inspired mechanics that revolutionize movement and combat:
Territory Control Mastery: Paint strategic areas to control map flow, creating zones that boost your movement speed while slowing enemies.
Speed Highway Creation: Establish paint routes across the map for rapid repositioning. This technique proves especially valuable in Slap Royale where mobility determines survival.
Ink Damage Amplification: Inked enemies take 20 extra damage from subsequent attacks, making the paint-then-strike combo incredibly powerful when combined with high-damage gloves.
Psychological Warfare: Create and erase paint circles around opponents to confuse their movement patterns. The constantly changing terrain disrupts enemy planning and creates openings for attacks.
The Chain Glove receives its own dedicated mastery track, meaning slaps earned while using it contribute to specific mastery rewards separate from other gloves, providing clearer progression goals for dedicated players.
The Chain Glove mastery system introduces electricity-themed challenges that test your crowd control abilities:
Completing the mastery unlocks significant upgrades:
The Double Chain Technique, once mastered, allows maintaining two chains simultaneously, effectively doubling crowd control potential though it requires significant practice to alternate between chains effectively.
The Moai Glove mastery requirement has been updated from cheese to diamond, with its associated mastery banner receiving a visual refresh to match this change. This modification streamlines the progression system and provides more intuitive resource requirements for players pursuing mastery completion.
The popular emote wheel feature from Slap Royale mode has been integrated into the main Slap Battles experience, accessible by pressing comma (,) on PC, DPad Down on console, or typing /emotes in chat.
The wheel displays all unlocked emotes in a circular interface for instant selection during combat. Certain emotes unlocked through mastery completion have hidden gameplay implications - experimenting at specific map locations can trigger secret effects.
