The Phantom Mastery update is one of those patches that looks small on paper but actually changes how certain gloves play long-term. It introduces a brand-new glove, expands Phantom’s mastery system, tweaks multiple existing gloves, and quietly sets up next week’s update.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Slime Glove – How It Works
The biggest addition in this update is the Slime Glove, which is now available in the glove menu.
Slime Glove Stats
- Slaps Required: 25,000
- Power: 48
- Speed: 16
- Ability: Slime Ball
- Keybind: E
This glove is clearly aimed at players who already have decent slap counts and want something that’s more about control and chaos than raw knockback.
Slime Ball Ability Explained
When you press E, your character throws a slime ball forward. Once it lands, it creates a slime entity on the ground.
Here’s what makes it interesting:
- The slime lets players jump much higher than normal
- Anyone hit by the slime ball becomes “slimed”
- The slime doesn’t instantly knock players off, but it messes with movement and positioning
It’s not a one-shot ability and it doesn’t feel overpowered at first glance, but it’s very disruptive. In crowded arenas, the slime can completely throw off someone’s movement rhythm, especially near edges.
This glove feels more like a setup tool rather than a finisher. You use it to control space, not instantly win fights.
Phantom Glove Mastery – New Challenges
Phantom finally received its mastery progression, and it’s very clearly designed for players who already understand Phantom’s invisibility playstyle.
Phantom Mastery Requirements
To fully master Phantom, you’ll need to complete these tasks:
- Jumpscare 350 players
- Perform combos on 200 players
- Tap 10 players on the shoulder without being harmed
The shoulder tap challenge is easily the hardest part. You need precise timing, good invisibility management, and patience. Rushing it usually gets you slapped out of invisibility instantly.
Phantom Mastery Upgrade Effect
Once upgraded:
- Slapping refreshes your invisibility
- Invisible slaps stack power
This is a huge buff for experienced Phantom users. Instead of invisibility being a one-and-done tool, it becomes something you can chain if you’re skilled enough. The better your timing, the more dangerous Phantom becomes.
Balance Changes and Fixes
Several existing gloves were adjusted in this update. The changes mainly focus on balance fixes, bug cleanup, and minor stat tuning rather than full reworks.
If you care about specific gloves, it’s worth checking the in-game patch notes and comparing how they feel now. Some gloves that felt inconsistent before are noticeably smoother after this update.
New Codes
Two new codes were mentioned in the update:
- slime
- phantom
These may grant slaps or other small rewards depending on when you redeem them. Codes in Slap Battles sometimes expire quickly, so it’s always better to try them sooner rather than later.
Sneak Peek for Next Update
A small teaser was shown for next week’s update, though no details were confirmed. Based on the pattern, it’s likely tied to either:
- Another mastery expansion
- A glove that interacts with movement or status effects
Nothing confirmed yet, but this update definitely feels like a setup patch.
Final Thoughts
This update isn’t flashy, but it’s meaningful.
- Slime Glove adds a new kind of arena control
- Phantom mastery rewards skill instead of spam
- Balance changes quietly improve glove consistency
If you already play Slap Battles regularly, this update gives you new long-term goals rather than just another glove to unlock and forget.
