Kinetic Glove - Slap Battles Wiki
A full guide to the Kinetic glove, its Percussive Blast ability, and how to unlock it with the Stun glove.
Overview
The Kinetic glove is a badge glove released on February 24, 2023, unlocked through the Kinetically Charged badge. Its signature ability, Percussive Blast, generates an electric aura around the user that intensifies each time the holder is hit. Players obtain it by using the Stun glove, making it a reward for tactical defensive play.
Kinetic Glove Unlock Guide
See how to charge the Kinetic glove with the Stun glove and unleash a fully powered Percussive Blast.
How the Percussive Blast Works
The Percussive Blast ability is what makes the Kinetic glove unique. Each time the holder is hit, the surrounding electric aura grows stronger, storing energy like a capacitor. When unleashed, the blast releases all accumulated charge in a powerful knockback wave.
This means the Kinetic glove rewards patience and baiting. The more you let opponents hit you, the more devastating your eventual release becomes. Pair this with survival strategies from our Retro glove guide for the best results.
Skilled Kinetic users deliberately absorb light slaps from weaker gloves to safely build charge, then unleash the blast against dangerous targets. This risk-reward loop makes it one of the most strategically deep gloves in the tier list.
