Why the Counter Glove Is Feared
The cards below highlight the key points of why the counter glove is feared.

It can counter every slap aimed at you, making aggressive players pay for every swing.

Maze Mastery
The Elude Maze setting ties it to other maze-based gloves like Elude.
Surviving Pim for 3 Minutes
Pim is relentless. He patrols the maze and reacts to your movement, so simply hiding rarely works for long. The best strategy is to keep moving along wide loops, using junctions to break line of sight whenever he closes in.
Memorize the maze layout before your real attempt. Knowing where dead ends and open spaces are can be the difference between success and a reset. For related maze strategies, see our Pim bossfight and the Elude glove guide.
Once unlocked, the Counter glove flips the script on aggressive players. Because it reflects every slap, you become a punishing target that discourages random swings, making it excellent for controlling space in crowded lobbies.
