Slap Battles How to Get and Use the Pylon Glove

The Pylon glove is one of the newer additions in Slap Battles, officially released on August 1, 2025. Costing 24,500 slaps, this glove comes with a unique ability that makes it useful for both defense and offense. If you’re wondering how it works, whether it’s worth the grind, and how to counter its weaknesses, this guide has you covered.

Pylon Glove Overview

The Pylon glove has a distinct look: a grey base with a coil wrapped around the wrist, holding a metal ball in its palm. It comes with the following base stats:

• Power: 50
• Speed: 16
• Ability Cooldown: 4 seconds
• Tooltip: “Alternatively, you could use it as a bug zapper”

While its raw stats are average, the real strength of this glove lies in its special ability.

Ability – Place Pylon

When activated, the glove lets you place down Pylons that create an electric barrier. Any player that touches it gets electrocuted, making it a strong tool for controlling space and blocking enemies. With only a 4-second cooldown, you can spam pylons to keep pressure on enemies or set traps around choke points.

Pros and Cons of the Pylon Glove

Pros

• Area control: Great for blocking pathways, especially on bridges.
• Anti-chase tool: Electrocutes players chasing you, making it easy to escape.
• Low cooldown: Ability can be used often, allowing for constant zoning.

Cons

• Weak against mobility gloves: Players with Spring, Balloony, or other vertical movement abilities can easily jump over your pylons.
• Situational: Works best in maps with chokepoints; open maps make it harder to use effectively.

The Pylon glove is best suited for players who enjoy defensive strategies and controlling the battlefield. While it may struggle against highly mobile opponents, its zoning power can completely shut down certain playstyles, especially when guarding narrow areas. If you’ve saved up enough slaps, this glove is definitely worth trying out for its unique playstyle.
