Slap Battles Tier List (August 2026) — Best Gloves Ranked

By Money Lord — Founder & Editor | Updated: August 21, 2026

OVERKILL is the best glove in Slap Battles right now. Its passive kills anything the glove physically touches, with no button press and no charge-up, and the wiki lists its power as INFINITE. The strongest glove you can earn without spending Robux is The Flex, but it wants 100,000 slaps — so most players will spend a long time in the tiers below.

The honest scope: Slap Battles has 369 gloves as of the Fandom wiki's August 21, 2026 edit, and 39 are admin or staff-only, leaving roughly 330 a normal account can chase. We cover 37 of them — the ones with documented stats plus every glove on the developer's own one-shot ban list. This is not the full roster and isn't trying to be. Everything below was re-checked on August 21, 2026 against each glove's own Fandom page, the developer's update log, and the Roblox games, votes, badges and game-passes APIs.

Updated August 21, 2026 — we re-audited every glove against its own wiki page and the live Roblox APIs after today's update, corrected a false Killstreak speed claim and a stale roster count, and added the brand-new Sand glove plus Spectator.
· Aug 21 — added Sand and Spectator; roster 367 → 369; fixed Killstreak's phase-8 slap speed; refreshed every badge count and price
· Aug 17 (pm) — corrected bob, Ghost, Killstreak, Automaton and God's Hand; added the full one-shot ban list
· Aug 17 (am) — published, 24 gloves ranked

A note on the glove count. The wiki's own breakdown on that page — 150 slap-requiring, 6 gamepass, 1 VIP, 1 specially obtained, 147 badge, 39 admin, 18 Slap Royale, 6 sub-gloves, 4 limited-time — adds up to 372, not the 369 it states a sentence earlier. We're flagging the contradiction rather than picking a side. The same page also records 293 glove stands in the game and 50 gloves with a Mastery. As an independent check, the Roblox badges API returns 165 badges for universe 2380077519 as of August 21, 2026 — consistent with the wiki's 147 badge gloves, since not every badge hands you one.

S Tier — The Best Gloves in Slap Battles

Every glove here is disabled in Slap Battles - NO ONESHOT GLOVES, the gamemode the developer built to strip out gloves that instantly kill. That's a dev-curated ban list, not an opinion, and it's the most defensible S-tier signal this game offers. The list currently holds 19 gloves. The five below are the ones you can realistically obtain and use, so they get full write-ups; the other 14 are covered in the ban-list section, including MEGAROCK, CUSTOM and bob, which we hold at A because their kill mechanic is a stationary rock or a summon rather than a slap.

OVERKILL — 450 Robux

We re-confirmed the gamepass at 450 Robux against the Roblox game-passes API on August 21, 2026 — unchanged since our last check, and down from the 600, 799, 999 and original 666 Robux the wiki records. Its passive, Hot Touch, instantly slaps anybody the glove touches and drops them to zero health — no input, no charge mechanic, contact alone. Power reads INFINITE (est. 700+), speed INFINITE (20). Counterplay is real: Snow, Ice, Shard, Iceskate's ice, Snowball's turret, Frostbite and Water all disable the passive, and The Flex extinguishes it.

The Flex — 100,000 slaps

The most expensive slap-purchased glove in the game, added December 17, 2021. Touch of Midas turns anyone you slap into a gold statue and kills them outright, at power 100 and speed 17. It's the free-to-play ceiling because it does what OVERKILL does on a slap rather than a touch, which is far harder to play around. Since July 24, 2026 it no longer bypasses Parry.

God's Hand — 70,000 slaps

Stop time freezes everyone outside the lobby for 8 seconds while the whole arena goes monochrome and screen-shakes, on a 60-second cooldown — one of the longest cooldowns in the game. Power 250, speed 17. That is a very high number for a slap glove but not the highest: Doomsday's power climbs to 9,999 and Error's is listed as "error (est. 1,000,000,000+)", and both are ordinary slap purchases. Immunity is real and documented — Reaper at phase 3+, Killstreak at phase 3+, Spectator, and a Roguelike who draws the Timestop Immunity card all keep moving. The price rose to 70,000 slaps on April 3, 2026; the wiki records the full ladder from 1,000 slaps upward across 20 dated hikes, so any figure below 70,000 you see elsewhere is simply an old rung.

Reaper — 3,500 slaps

The best value in the game, with no active ability at all — the wiki's infobox marks it passive-only. Time's Up puts a 25-second timer over anyone you slap; at zero they die and you get the kill. Each kill shaves a second off. The wiki disagrees with itself on the floor: its Overview says the timer "caps at 6 seconds (19 kills)", which is what 25 minus 19 gives, while the Phase 4 infobox on the same page says "capped at 4 seconds only" at 19 kills. Treat 6 seconds as the arithmetic reading and 4 as unconfirmed. Power 45, speed 13, unchanged across all four phases. Two counters: diving into the void denies you the kill, and Diamond's rock form removes the timer — if the Reaper user gets rocked, everyone marked is cured.

Killstreak — 5,000 slaps

A ladder rather than one ability. The wiki counts eight abilities, the most of any glove: Soul snatcher, Killstealing, Flight, the 75 Orb (8s), the 100 Orb (14s), 250 Telekinesis and 1,000 Telekinesis (2s each), and Midas Touch (25s). Power runs 35 at phase 1 to 285 at 50 kills — but it is not a smooth climb: phase 6 (75 kills) resets you to 35–95 in exchange for an active ability, then phase 7 (100 kills) restores 285. Correction, August 21: we previously wrote that slap speed stays at 15 through every phase. It does not. Phase 8 (250–999 kills) sets slap speed to 0 — the phase infobox spells out "Slap: 285 (can't directly slap)" because 250 Telekinesis replaces your slap entirely at 85 power, and your walkspeed drops from 70 to 40. Phase 9 at 1,000 kills restores speed 15, adds flight and raises jump height from 7.2 to 14.4. The glove's own infobox hints at this with "speed 15 (0 - 15)". The catch is Reaper's: a fed Killstreak becomes the server's target. On July 24, 2026 the developer eased its Mastery: quest 1 changed from "reach the phase of 100 accumulated souls" to simply owning the "1 0 0" badge, and quest 2 dropped from 1,000 souls to 750.

A Tier — Excellent Gloves

Three of these five are also on the No Oneshots ban list, which is why they sit this high despite unremarkable stat lines. MEGAROCK, CUSTOM and bob were all banned later than the original four and kill through a stationary rock or a summon rather than a slap, so we hold them one rung below the S group. The other two are paid gloves whose value is defensive rather than lethal.

MEGAROCK comes from the WHY badge, which asks you to stay in Diamond's rock form for ten straight hours — ten hours and about fifteen minutes if you don't already hold the "really?" badge, since the timer only starts after that. It has been awarded 337,408 times as of August 21, 2026, per the Roblox badges API. MEGAROCKMODE is an unpushable rock that kills anyone who touches it and grows with each new victim absorbed, up to 28. There's a 2-second startup; its cooldown went from 1 to 4 seconds on May 15, 2026, and since July 31, 2026 it no longer bypasses i-frames. Power 30, speed 13 — the lowest power of any badge glove. CUSTOM is the same idea sold as a gamepass at 394 Robux, confirmed live again on August 21, 2026 — you get 20 stat points to spend across power (40–60, one point each) and speed (10–20, two points each), plus your own decal and audio. If you see 749 Robux quoted anywhere, that is the pre-2024 price: the developer cut it to 699 on February 5, 2024, to 525 on June 25, 2024, and to 394 on November 29, 2024.

bob — lowercase, that's how the game renders it — comes from the bob badge added April 16, 2022. Getting it is the real barrier: you have to spawn the bob entity from Replica's ability, which is a 1 in 7,500 roll, and the badge only fires if bob has someone in the arena to target. 467,408 players hold it as of August 21, 2026. The ability summons bob himself — a black humanoid wrapped in a dark spherical aura that picks the nearest player, accelerates toward them, blacks out their screen as it closes, and instantly kills on contact before despawning. Cooldowns run 8 seconds on spawn (added July 24, 2026), 15 seconds normally, half a second when the Normal Arena is empty, and 100 seconds after colliding with rob. Its power and speed are listed only as "bob", estimated 52 and 16.

Ultra Instinct costs 309 Robux, verified against the game-passes API on August 21, 2026. The May 22, 2026 rework replaced its decaying meter with tokens: every slap gives one (with a 1-second gap between them, and none at all if you slap-trade), they cap at 4, and each is a guaranteed dodge. Aura Farming has you stand still with the glove down, after which being slapped evades with 100% certainty — 2-second cooldown on success, 6 on failure. The wiki is internally inconsistent on the stand-still window: the patch note for the rework says 1 second, the glove's ability section says 2. Power 60, speed INFINITE (20). Its Mastery raises the token cap to 8 and adds a 62-power Counter Attack plus Instant Transmission, which costs 6 tokens on a 15-second cooldown.

Titan is the odd one out: it's tied to the VIP subscription, so it does not appear anywhere in the game's 17-entry game-pass API list — we checked. The developer's own update log for April 2, 2026 records that subscription moving from $2.99 USD per month to 299 Robux per month, and the wiki's Purchasables page carries the same figure; we could not pull a live subscription price from a Roblox API to confirm it independently. Large Shenanigans makes you five times larger with a Stomp dealing about 60 knockback after a 0.7-second wind-up, on a 20-second timer each incoming slap cuts by 2 seconds. Power 52, speed 17. Nerfed July 24, 2026 with a 0.8-second per-user slap cooldown and no stomping in the first or last second of the transformation.

B Tier — Good Gloves

These win fights on skill rather than a kill button. Most are mid-to-late slap purchases with strong abilities that can be played around.

Blackhole (37,000 slaps) uses Void on a 12-second cooldown to drag nearby players toward you for 9 to 10 seconds; getting slapped or ragdolled cancels it. Power 55, speed 15. Automaton (64,500 slaps, added November 14, 2025) runs a resource economy capped at 15 gears and 15 saws — slapping banks 2 of each, a kill banks 5. Gearbug (E) spends 5 gears on a flying homing bomb that despawns after 20 seconds, 1-second cooldown; Buzzsaw (R) spends 5 saws on a blade that travels in a straight line until it hits an island edge. Holding either key at max spends all 15: the Gearbug ultimate lifts you into the air to glide, and the Buzzsaw ultimate sends a giant saw out and back to you. Power 53, speed 15.

Roaring (65,000 slaps, added April 3, 2026) has a passive, Black Knife, that swaps your glove for a blade you hold to charge a lunging slash. Its E, Starshot, fires 3 white stars you recall with a second press (8s spawn, 17s cooldown); its R, X Slash, slams the ground and marks players with a red reticle on 12 seconds. Power 50, speed 13.

Meteor (32,000 slaps) drops telegraphed AoE strikes on 12 seconds, rising to 13.5 at a full 3-second charge that shrinks the radius but speeds impact by 20%. Power 55, speed 17. Golden (2,500 slaps) is the cheapest strong glove here: Powerup grants 8 seconds of invincibility at 25 walkspeed and 68 power, 30-second cooldown. Base power 52, speed 15.

Sand is the newest glove in the game — added August 21, 2026, in the update that put the shell emoji in the game's title. It is a badge glove behind Estival Heatwaver, which the Roblox badges API shows was created August 21, 2026 and had been awarded 17,553 times by 20:20 UTC the same day. Power 53, speed 15. Its E, Beach Day, throws a row of sand ahead of you on 9 seconds: the initial throw slows anyone it hits, and standing in the sand flings players in the direction they're facing after half a second, reddening their screen first. Its R, Big Sandy Claws, sends a giant sand claw down that placed row on 10 seconds, launching anyone it touches. It's a zoning tool rather than a killer — the sand can't be placed over the void, and the claw does nothing without sand down first. We rank it B provisionally: it was hours old when we checked it on August 21, 2026, so nobody has real matchup data on it yet. Getting it is a chain: complete The Hitman's "The Four Seasons" quest, use the Seasons Scroll in his basement to reach FourSeasons, take the Summer door, and survive John Surfboard's five-round surfboard obstacle run on 4 HP. Sand completes that island's set alongside Conker (Autumn), Penguin (Winter) and Lotus (Spring).

Ghost (666 slaps) turns you invisible indefinitely — the wiki is explicit that you can stay hidden as long as you like, and being hit does not break it. You end it yourself by pressing E or by slapping someone, and only then does the 20-second cooldown start. The 1.5 seconds you'll see quoted is the minimum time before you can re-trigger, not a duration. Audio distorts and the screen shifts holo-red while you're under; other Ghost users still faintly see you. Power was cut from 48 to 44; speed 16. Swapper (350 slaps) trades places with the nearest player within 850 studs every 10 seconds — a map-edge execution tool as much as a mobility one. Power 50, speed 14.

C Tier — Situational and Starter Gloves

Nothing here is useless. These are cheap gloves, utility gloves, and the two Slap Royale gamepasses whose jobs are narrow enough that you'd swap off them once you had an alternative.

Vampire and Cannoneer are Slap Royale-exclusive gamepasses. We pulled the API again on August 21, 2026: they still cost 225 and 197 Robux. The wiki's Purchasable Gloves tab agrees, but its Mastery Gloves tab on the same page still prints 300 and 262 — those are the pre-November-2024 prices. Vampire's Reactively heals you for damage dealt on a 30-second cooldown; Cannoneer builds a cannon in 3 seconds that anyone on the map can use, 25-second cooldown. Both are power 40, speed 14.

Spring (250 slaps) adds about 25 jump power for roughly 75 total. Its Mastery arrived February 20, 2026 with Spring Drop (8s), Spring Slam (7s) and Super Jump (14s), and on May 22, 2026 mid-air springs began creating an extender part that bounces anyone you slap into it. Movement tech, not damage. Brick (65 slaps) scatters bricks that ragdoll on contact for 4 seconds, 5-second cooldown.

Spectator is the glove nobody ranks because it opts out of the fight entirely: you cannot be slapped and you cannot slap. We pulled it live on August 21, 2026 and it costs 113 Robux — the cheapest glove gamepass in the game that is actually a glove. It matters more than it looks: God's Hand's own page names exactly four gloves that grant immunity to Stop time, and Spectator is the only one whose immunity is unconditional — Reaper needs phase 3/4, Killstreak needs phase 3+, and Roguelike needs to have drawn the Timestop Immunity card. C tier, and only for map-watching, filming and waiting out a bad server.

Extended now costs 30 slaps, raised from 25 on May 15, 2026 by the developer's own patch note — the wiki's roster gallery still shows 25, so trust the glove's own page. Reach buys range at a brutal cost: power rose from 30 to 40 on November 8, 2024, but speed sits at 5. The two halves of the page disagree about how it got there — the infobox reads "5, previously 10", while the History table records only a slap-speed increase (10 to 15) on May 21, 2021 and no decrease at all. The current stat is 5; the date it dropped is undocumented. Diamond (15 slaps) locks you in an immobile rock where you can't be slapped and can't die at all, even by resetting — a stepping stone to MEGAROCK and a hard counter to Reaper. Power 40, speed 13. Default (0 slaps) is where everyone starts: Fart Blast is a small speed burst on 3.5 seconds, doubling to 7 in the Jerry bossfight. Power 30, speed 10.

On the cheap end. The only ranking attempt we found that isn't AI filler is a Fandom user blog, User blog:VadsSmirkingRevenge/gloves (rewritten), which put Diamond at 221 out of 250. It predates dozens of current gloves, so we cite it only as dated directional evidence that sub-100-slap gloves are weak — not as a placement.

The Rest of the One-Shot Ban List

If the developer's ban list is the anchor for S tier — and on this page it is — then listing only five of the nineteen is dishonest. Here are the remaining eleven (MEGAROCK, CUSTOM and bob are covered in A tier above). Every stat comes from the glove's own Fandom page; every badge award count is a live read of the Roblox badges API for universe 2380077519 on August 21, 2026, which is the closest thing to a real rarity number this game exposes.

GloveHow to GetPower / SpeedWhat It Actually Does
Sbeve44,000 slaps50 / 15Turns you into a head-sized rock cube at half walkspeed; touching other players converts them too. 15s cooldown.
Doomsday45,500 slaps55 → 9,999 / 13A 30-second doom timer that ticks down and pumps your power up. Slapping refunds 2s but costs 2 power; a kill refunds 10s. At 1 second left you hit 9,999 power, then you die.
Error50,000 slaps"error" (est. 1,000,000,000+) / est. 15Passive absurd power that flings victims past the death barrier until Roblox's engine can't render them. The E ability just teleports you to the barzil portal.
busTo the moon badge — 5,251,311 holders50 / 16Spawns a ~40-stud bus doing ~100 speed at the player nearest you. Your own bus can hit you. 10s spawn, 20s cooldown.
potatoSorry to burst your bubble badge — 3,156,63050 / 16Slapped players get a 15-second potato they can pass on by slapping someone else. Whoever holds it at zero dies in an AoE blast.
DetonatorHead Hunter badge — 174,441 (win a Slap Royale match with 15+ kills)52 / 17Blast Tag marks everyone you slap, invisibly to them. Pressing E detonates every tag at once for 52 knockback in the direction you're facing, with AoE onto untagged players. 10s cooldown.
LinkError glove badge — 1,643,107 (needs 50,000 slaps, then click the Error glove hidden behind the lobby Moai)48 / 16Life Link ties you to everyone you slap. If any linked player dies, they all die, including you. Since July 2023 you can't reset out of it.
LeashDemonic Ritual badge — 1,055,075 (all 16 players in a full server equipping CULT)52 / 16Lasso Drag ragdolls slapped players onto a rope you can tow anywhere. They escape by jumping 3–4 times.
BerserkGO BERSERK badge — 889,062 (survive 3 of Kinetic's stage-three Percussive Blasts)50 / 15Each E charge adds 20+ power and drains your health faster. At 5 charges slaps gain AoE; at the 10-charge cap you slap for 200 power. Slapping spends the whole stack.
PsychoUltimate Control badge — 768,637 (a 3% Reverse-collision roll into The Ruins, then a timed obby)55 / 17 (listed), 15 (actual)Slaps leave a 4-second mark; E yanks marked players into the air under your control, and a second press launches them for ~35 knockback, or ~50 fully charged.
robEmissary Of Light badge — 498,063 (beat The Eternal BOB, a 45–60 minute five-player raid)"rob" / "rob"You become the rob entity for 10 seconds: floating, near-immune to slaps and most abilities, whitening the screen of anyone who approaches, and consuming on contact. 9s spawn cooldown.
Read the award counts as difficulty, not popularity. To the moon sits at 5.25 million because it's a Space-glove trick anyone can fluke. Head Hunter sits at 174,441 because it demands a 15-kill Slap Royale win, and WHY at 337,408 because it demands ten unbroken hours as a rock. Those are the two hardest gates on this list, and they're dev-side numbers rather than anyone's opinion. For scale, the game's most-awarded badge, Welcome, sits at 127,275,755 — so on those two numbers roughly one Welcome in 377 has ever turned into a finished MEGAROCK grind. All counts read from the badges API on August 21, 2026.

What Changed in 2026

Slap Battles ships roughly weekly, so an undated tier list is worthless. These are the 2026 entries from the developer's own update log that actually move placements; our Slap Battles update log page tracks the running history.

As of August 21, 2026 the game's Roblox title reads [UPDATE🐚] Slap Battles👏 — a shell, replacing the playing card it carried the week before. The games API stamped the universe as updated at 18:19 UTC on August 21, 2026, and the update log, the badges API and the wiki all corroborate that as a real patch rather than a bumped timestamp: it added the Sand glove and the Estival Heatwaver badge (badge created August 21, 17,553 awards by 20:20 UTC). The same note reworked Pinwheel's Mastery — its E now drags nearby players along with you, and a new R, Updraft, launches you and anyone near you upward — nerfed Firework's Mastery (explosion radius on a whiffed rocket cut from 20 studs to 15, smaller mini-firework hitboxes, launched fireworks now arc downwards), cut two Glovel Mastery quests (1,000 crits to 750, and a 20-crit streak to 15), unlocked every Alchemist recipe for anyone who already owns Water, and fixed a rob bug that granted permanent extra speed. Nothing in it touches the one-shot ban list, so the S tier above is unchanged.

A week earlier, August 14, 2026 added the Impostor glove (17,200 slaps, power 56, speed 15, abilities Le Suitcase and Fake) and shipped Roguelike's Mastery, whose card-draw system got reworked in the same note — the ragdoll-time card was replaced with knockback resistance, all three offered cards are now unique, you can't roll a card you already hold, and the card list opens with Q. Same patch buffed the week-old Static: slapping now adds 25% distortion, the radius grew 5 studs, corruption time dropped 3.5 to 2.5 seconds, and its R flings corrupted targets toward you instead of upward.

August 7 added Marewarder (power 50, speed 15, Dash/Lift/Flare on 4s/4s/7s) and Static (power 50, speed 14), both tied to the Heart of the Abyss / Pim boss event. Their badges, Unmasked and Banish the Night, were both created August 6 and read 108,488 and 34,538 awards when we hit the Roblox badges API on August 21, 2026. July 31 added the Mutation glove and stopped MEGAROCK bypassing i-frames.

July 24, 2026 was the year's biggest balance pass. Pool Noodle arrived via the Return to Sender badge (created July 23; 175,243 awards as of August 21, 2026). Alongside it: Iceskate dropped 55 to 49 power, Jester 58 to 54, Rojo and Slender both 57 to 52; G-X gained spawn cooldowns and lost overclock knockback 70 to 60; Titan got its 0.8-second per-user slap cooldown; bob picked up an 8-second spawn cooldown; Killstreak's Mastery quests were eased; and Parry stopped being bypassed by The Flex. Seven Masteries had their quest requirements cut in the same note, so if a guide quotes you a grind target from before July 24 it is probably too high.

Earlier, May 22 reworked Ultra Instinct into the token system and gave Spring's mid-air placements an extender part that bounces anyone you slap into it, May 15 pushed Extended from 25 to 30 slaps and raised MEGAROCK and CUSTOM's cooldown from 1 to 4 seconds, April 3 added Roaring and raised God's Hand to 70,000, April 2 repriced the VIP subscription behind Titan from $2.99 to 299 Robux a month, and February 27 pulled MEGAROCK, CUSTOM and potato out of the No Oneshots gamemode — the most recent change to the ban list this whole page is anchored on. Worth keeping straight: G-X is a genuine Opera GX collaboration glove, and the wiki notes it's the first collaboration glove not based on another game.

How We Ranked These Gloves

There's no verifiable community-consensus source for Slap Battles gloves right now. We couldn't extract usable Reddit tier threads or YouTube placements, and the one genuine Fandom user ranking — User blog:VadsSmirkingRevenge/gloves (rewritten) — was last edited May 28, 2025 and ranked a 250-glove roster; the wiki now counts 369. We are not claiming the community agrees with any of this.

We also checked that we were reading the right wiki. slap-battles.fandom.com is a live, contested wiki — 502 articles, 394 active editors, and 60 mainspace edits in the two and a half hours between 17:30 and 20:05 UTC today, including the Sand page being built out in real time. The alternatives do not survive a look. A Miraheze "Unofficial Slap Battles Wiki" exists but holds 7 articles, zero active users and zero recent changes. And the single-game domain slap-battles.wiki is an AI content farm by the usual fingerprint: WHOIS returns a creation date of June 13, 2026 — five years and four months after the game launched — a Spaceship, Inc. registrar and Cloudflare nameservers. Nothing on this page comes from it.

We ranked on documented mechanics instead. For S tier the anchor is the No Oneshots ban list — the 19 gloves the developer pulled from a mode built to exclude one-shot kills, named in the FAQ below. Fandom's Category:One-Shot Gloves independently corroborates God's Hand, OVERKILL, The Flex and Error. For A, B and C we argued from published numbers on each glove's own page in the Fandom glove roster: power and speed, cooldowns, ranges and named counters. Every Robux price was cross-checked against the Roblox game-passes API on August 21, 2026 rather than copied from a tracker. That call returns 17 pass entries for this universe, of which 11 are on sale; the six that are not (5x Slaps, expensive gamepass, court evidence, "250", and two donation passes) are dev leftovers, which is why price lists that scrape the endpoint blind get this game wrong.

Claims we found and rejected. Sites ranking for this query say OVERKILL one-shots on a "charged hit" (no charge mechanic exists), that Reaper swings a scythe (Scythe is a separate real glove, from the Farmland Fray badge), that CUSTOM costs 749 Robux (it's 394), and that a glove called "Rocket" exists. There is no Rocket glove: Rocket Launcher is one of Retro's three [E] abilities, cycled with the [R] key, and it was nerfed on July 24, 2026 to 100 studs of range and a 5-second cooldown. The real missile glove is Missile-Launcher, a Slap Royale exclusive costing 14,000 slaps and added July 7, 2023.

Context, pulled August 21, 2026 at 19:45 UTC: the 7-day median concurrent player count across 28 readings (August 15–21) is 16,255, with the live reading at 19,144 and daily swings running 10,476 to 22,368 — so quote the median, never a snapshot. The game sits on 3,600,456,804 visits and 4,583,501 favourites, with 86.1% approval from 2,259,084 votes (1,944,004 up, 315,080 down). Servers cap at 16 players, and the game has been live since February 16, 2021. Our Slap Battles hub collects the rest, the update log tracks the weekly patches, Slap Battles vs Blade Ball compares it to its closest rival, Gear Slap Tower vs Slap Battles covers the tower-climbing imitator, and Find Who Slapped vs Slap Battles covers the slap-genre newcomer. We don't list codes here — our Slap Battles codes page tracks the current list, with seven fabricated codes purged on August 8, 2026 and the reward currency corrected to Shards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best glove in Slap Battles?

OVERKILL. Its passive, Hot Touch, kills anything the glove physically touches with no button press and no charge-up, and its power is listed as INFINITE (est. 700+). It costs 450 Robux, verified against the Roblox game-passes API on August 21, 2026. Without spending Robux, The Flex is the strongest option at 100,000 slaps.

How many gloves are in Slap Battles?

The Fandom wiki's Gloves page states 369 as of its August 21, 2026 edit, and 39 of those are admin or staff-only, leaving about 330 a normal player can chase. The same page's own category breakdown adds up to 372, so the wiki contradicts itself on the exact total.

Which Slap Battles gloves are banned from the No Oneshots gamemode?

Nineteen: Reaper, Killstreak, Sbeve, Doomsday, Error, God's Hand, The Flex, OVERKILL, CUSTOM, MEGAROCK, bus, potato, bob, Detonator, Link, Leash, Berserk, Psycho and rob. The developer sets that list, which makes it the closest thing to an official statement on which gloves are overpowered.

What is the cheapest good glove in Slap Battles?

Reaper at 3,500 slaps — the cheapest glove that reaches S tier, and it works entirely passively. Below that, Golden at 2,500 slaps gives 8 seconds of invincibility at 68 power, and Ghost at 666 buys a short invisibility window.

How do you get MEGAROCK in Slap Battles?

You need the WHY badge, which requires staying in Diamond's rock form for ten hours without a break. Buy Diamond for 15 slaps, activate The Stone Age, and wait. MEGAROCK then kills anyone who touches the rock, growing as it absorbs players up to a maximum of 28.

Is this Slap Battles tier list complete?

No, and it doesn't claim to be — 37 gloves out of 369, including all 19 the developer banned from the No Oneshots gamemode and Sand, added the day this page was last checked. Anything we couldn't verify against a glove's own wiki page, the developer's update log, or a Roblox API was left off rather than guessed at. Browse the full roster on the Fandom wiki, or check the game on Roblox.
