Defeat your enemies with a single, powerful slap using the Counter Glove
Are you after the mighty Counter Glove to block enemy slaps and deal massive damage in Roblox’s Slap Battles? We've got you covered. The Counter Glove is unlocked through the ‘Da Maze Runner’ badge, which means you’ll need to conquer the Elude Maze and escape from Pim to claim it. We've created a straightforward guide to help you get the Counter Glove as quickly as possible—and show you how to wield it effectively once you have it.
Quick Steps to Unlock the Counter Glove
Head to either Moai or Slapple Island to locate a keypad, then enter the correct code. After that, venture into the Elude Maze and pull the lever to summon Pim, who will chase you relentlessly. Avoid Pim for 3 minutes, and the Counter Glove will spawn within the maze. Find it and click to claim it as your own.
Process Overview
How to Obtain the Counter Glove in Slap Battles
Locate a keypad on Moai Island or Slapple Island. The keypad will appear every 10 minutes behind the large tree on either island. You can speed up the process by server-hopping in the No One Shots and Killstreak Only modes. Once you find it, use the following formula to enter the code: # of players in the server * 25 + 1100 - 7. For example, with 5 players, the equation would be 5 * 25 + 1100 - 7, and the code becomes 1218.
- Tip #1: Use mobility gloves like Balloony, Charge, Grapple, Phase, Space, and Speedrun to quickly check each island for the keypad.
-
Tip #2:
Take the Default Arena portal to reach Moai Island faster.
- Tip #3: Use shift-lock behind the lobby portals to peek through the wall and spot the keypad on Slapple Island.
Enter the Elude Maze to unlock the 'Da Maze Runner' badge. When you enter the correct code on the keypad, you’ll gain access to the Elude Maze—a crucial step since the Counter Glove can only be obtained once you’ve earned the ‘Da Maze Runner’ badge. Use the lever behind the map to summon Pim, who will chase you. Your mission is to survive Pim’s pursuit for 3 minutes.
- Tip #1: Pim is faster than you, but it can’t fit through narrow gaps. Try making sharp turns and running through tight spaces to stay ahead. Avoid wide, straight hallways!
- Tip #2: You can attempt to trap Pim by running to the far wall. As a bonus, you’ll be near one of the possible spawn locations for the Counter Glove.
- Tip #3: If Pim catches you, you’ll be sent back to the main game—but you can always try again!
Find and claim the Counter Glove after it spawns in the maze. Once you manage to avoid Pim, the Counter Glove will appear in one of four potential spots in the maze. The glove will shift locations every 30 seconds, so keep moving. Once you spot it, click on it to collect it—and you’ll also earn the ‘Da Maze Runner’ badge at the same time.
- Tip: The Counter Glove emits a blue glow and makes a soft, sparkling sound, similar to the other relics in the maze.
- Once you collect the glove, you’ll be transported back to the main game. It’s that simple!
How to Use the Counter Glove
Press the interaction button to perform a taunt animation with the glove. This animation lasts 2.75 seconds, and if another player slaps you during it, the attack will be automatically countered while one of three unique cutscenes plays. You’ll experience no knockback (though you’ll ragdoll) if you’re hit by an uncounterable attack. The possible cutscenes are:
- Fist of the North Star: You’ll teleport behind the target, walk past them saying, “Omae wa mou shindeiru!” (Japanese for “You are already dead!”). A shockwave will push the target back, dealing about 100 knockback damage.
- Death Counter from One Punch Man: Teleport behind the target, charge a slap, and the screen will go black with the Japanese symbol for “death” flashing. A red fist will appear, followed by a punch that sends the target flying with massive knockback damage.
- Dragon Ball Z: Your character will shout “No,” and unleash a huge shockwave while glowing with a yellow aura. The shockwave will deal roughly 60 knockback damage to the target and anyone else caught in the blast radius.
Lure and provoke your opponents before using the Counter Glove. To make the most of your Counter Glove, wait for your enemy to come close and prepare to attack. Once they’re within striking distance, activate the glove and counter their move! You’ll have a higher chance of landing a successful counter this way.
- You can also use the Counter Glove to negate knockback from gloves like Ping Pong, which hit multiple targets but also harm the user.
Advantages and Disadvantages of the Counter Glove
Advantages The Counter Glove is known for its massive damage output! It can potentially one-shot opponents (and counter any one-shot slaps they try to deliver). Additionally, it negates knockback from various attacks and can counter many abilities like slicer, whirlwind, quake, and scythe. It also bypasses Golden’s invulnerability and MR’s knockback resistance.
- The glove’s animation is a bit quicker than the counter window, which can trick other players into being hit. You can also exploit players who try to fake a slap by hitting them during their feint.
- Lastly, it’s a valuable tool against Killstreak players or anyone using OVERKILL, as the OVERKILL Hot Touch passive triggers the glove’s power.
Disadvantages The Counter Glove has its downsides. After the cutscenes finish, you’ll be vulnerable, and other players can take advantage of that moment to slap you. If you miss the counter window, you’ll also be exposed, as the taunting animation is very obvious. Additionally, the glove isn’t all-powerful; recovery gloves (like Fish, Adios, Magnet, Recall, and Spoonful) can withstand its attacks.
- Users of Reverse can reflect the Counter Glove’s power back at you if they’re fast enough. Also, the glove cannot counter Replica clones, Shukuchi’s ability, or Joust’s horse.
- The cutscenes are completely random, and you can’t move until they end. Afterward, the glove has a fairly long cooldown before it can be used again.
