September 19, 2025, was a highly anticipated day for Slap Battles players! This popular Roblox game has brought two new gloves that offer unique and exciting gameplay: the Architect Glove and the Retribution Glove. For those of you curious about how to get them, their price, and their pros and cons, this complete guide will answer all your questions.
How to Get the Architect Glove
The Architect Glove is a glove that focuses on area control and trapping opponents. Getting it is very straightforward.
- Architect Glove Price: To own this glove, you need to collect 19,500 Slaps.
- How to Buy: Once you have enough slaps, open the gloves menu and find the Architect Glove in the list. Make the purchase as usual, and the glove will be immediately added to your collection.
Architect Glove Skill: Evil Box
The main strength of the Architect Glove lies in its active skill called Evil Box.
- How It Works: When used, this skill will create a large box in front of the player. This box can trap opponents who are within its range.
- Explosion Effect: If the box is destroyed by a slap, either by you or an opponent, it will explode. This explosion knocks back all nearby players except for the user wearing the Architect Glove.
Architect Glove Stats:
- Power: 55
- Speed: 16
- Cooldown: 10 seconds
Pros and Cons of the Architect Glove
Pros:
- Highly effective for trapping chasing or grouped-up opponents.
- Can be used to restrict opponent movement and control the battle area.
- The explosion can be used to separate enemies or create a path for escape.
- Can function as temporary protection or a barrier.
Cons:
- Opponents can destroy the box to make it explode, which could endanger you if you are not ready.
- If you hide inside the box, opponents can still destroy it and expose your position.
- Requires precise timing and placement to be effective, not suitable for players who prefer direct attacks.
How to Get the Retribution Glove
The Retribution Glove is a glove designed for revenge. This glove has a unique mechanism that activates after you are slapped.
- Retribution Glove Price: This glove has a higher price, at 23,500 Slaps.
- How to Buy: Just like other gloves, collect the required slaps and buy the Retribution Glove directly from the glove catalog menu.
Retribution Glove Skill: Victim’s Judgment & Forgive and Forget
The Retribution Glove has two interrelated skills:
- Victim’s Judgment (Passive Skill):
- This skill automatically activates when the user is slapped by an opponent.
- The screen will turn red, indicating that you have entered an “enraged” state.
- In this state, you can only target the opponent who slapped you. Your knockback increases from 50 to 80.
- You can also press the E button to immediately lunge toward the marked target.
- Forgive and Forget (Active Skill):
- This skill allows you to manually end the “enraged” state early.
- If not activated manually, the enraged state will end automatically after 30 seconds or if the opponent target dies.
- The cooldown for this skill is 19 seconds.
Retribution Glove Stats:
- Power: 50 (Normal) / 80 (When Enraged)
- Speed: 15 (Normal) / 17 (When Enraged)
- Cooldown: 10 seconds (Normal), 2 seconds (Enraged), 19 seconds (Forgive and Forget)
Pros and Cons of the Retribution Glove
Pros:
- Very strong in 1v1 situations thanks to its very high knockback.
- The ability to lunge directly at the target makes it very effective for chasing opponents, especially those using fast gloves.
- Getting revenge after being slapped feels very satisfying.
Cons:
- The Victim’s Judgment ability will not activate if you are in a ragdolled state (knocked down/sent flying), making you vulnerable to gloves with stun or high knockback effects.
- Forces you to focus on one target, so you can be overwhelmed if attacked by many enemies simultaneously.
- Has a relatively high price.
