Slap Battles continues to add new systems that give players more ways to upgrade their favorite gloves. One of the newest features introduced is Glove Mastery, a system that unlocks stronger abilities once you complete specific challenges. Instead of simply collecting slaps, players now need to prove their skill by completing certain combat objectives.
One mastery that has caught a lot of attention is the Vessel / Hollow Knight themed mastery, which allows players to transform into The Void. This upgrade dramatically changes how the glove works by giving it a new set of powerful abilities focused on control, mobility, and area attacks.
What is Glove Mastery in Slap Battles?
Glove Mastery is a progression feature that unlocks additional abilities for certain gloves. Instead of simply using the base glove, players can upgrade it through mastery challenges.
Once the mastery is completed, the glove gains access to The Void form, which introduces a completely different set of skills compared to the original version.
The theme of this mastery is inspired by a dark vessel concept, where players temporarily transform into a powerful void form with stronger abilities.
Glove Mastery Challenges
To unlock this mastery, players must complete three different challenges. These tasks require players to actively fight and eliminate other players using specific abilities. Here are the mastery objectives:
1. Aerial Attack Challenge
- Objective: Kill 3 players using your aerial attack without getting slapped.
- Progress: 0 / 1 Completion
This challenge requires careful positioning. Try jumping and attacking players near the edge of the map so they get knocked off easily.
2. Strength Challenge
- Objective: Kill 75 players at your strongest.
- Progress: 0 / 75 Kills
This challenge is a simple elimination task. Keep fighting players and knocking them off the map until you reach the required total.
3. AOE Blast Challenge
- Objective: Kill 150 players using your AOE blast.
- Progress: 0 / 150 Kills
This is the longest challenge to complete. Focus on crowded areas where multiple players gather so your area attack can hit several targets at once.
The Void Upgrade Abilities
After unlocking the mastery upgrade, players can transform into The Void. This form grants new abilities that are much stronger than the base glove abilities. Here are the main abilities available in Void form:
1. Void Transformation
Players can transform into The Void, which unlocks a new set of attacks and boosts movement speed. This form makes the glove more aggressive and better suited for combat. You can also toggle the Void form anytime if you want to return to the normal ability set.
2. Void Tendril Grab
One of the main abilities allows players to release a Void tendril that grabs another player. Once the enemy is captured, you can:
- Hold them briefly
- Release them to fling them away
- Press E again to slam them directly into the ground
This move is very useful for throwing enemies off the map.
3. Nail Barrage Attack
Another ability unleashes a barrage of nails that launches forward and hits enemies. When the nails make contact with players, they fling them away. This attack is especially useful when fighting multiple players at once.
4. Speed Boost in Void Form
While transformed into The Void, players gain increased movement speed. This makes it easier to chase enemies, escape dangerous fights, or reposition during battles.
Tips to Complete the Mastery Faster
Because the mastery requires a large number of eliminations, completing it quickly can take some strategy. Here are a few helpful tips:
- Play in crowded servers to find more targets.
- Fight near edges so enemies fall off faster.
- Use AOE abilities when groups gather.
- Avoid getting slapped while attempting the aerial attack challenge.
By focusing on these methods, you can progress through the mastery objectives much faster.
The Void mastery adds a powerful upgrade to the glove system in Slap Battles. With new abilities like the tendril grab, nail barrage, and faster movement, the glove becomes much more dangerous once the mastery is unlocked. However, unlocking it requires completing several combat challenges, including aerial kills, strength eliminations, and a large number of AOE blast defeats.
These tasks may take time, but the reward is a completely new combat style through the Void transformation. For players who enjoy mastering new mechanics and improving their combat skills, this mastery system is definitely worth completing. Once unlocked, The Void form can become one of the most fun and powerful ways to fight in Slap Battles.
