One of the unique gloves added in Slap Battles is the Starfruit Glove. While the Starfruit on the back of the glove makes it look different from the rest, the true highlight of the glove is its skill. The glove’s AOE-centric attack is perfect for throwing players off the arena by getting caught in the glove’s projectiles. The glove also comes with a charging ability to make the projectile-based attack even more powerful.
In this guide, I will show you the ways to obtain the Starfruit Glove and how to make use of it in Slap Battles. This is one of the extremely good gloves, a perfect thing to have in your hand to cause as much mayhem as possible in the arena.
How to Unlock and Use the New Starfruit Glove in Slap Battles
You must get 22,750 slaps to obtain the new Starfruit Glove in Slap Battles. If you are having trouble tracking the glove down, it sits between the Grenadier and Excavator gloves. The color of the glove is yellow, and you will see a starfruit behind the glove, giving it a distinct appearance.
Once you have 22,750 slaps or more, you can interact with the glove by pressing E to equip the Starfruit Glove and head into the arena. In the combat arena, you will see the button E to Star (Ability) on the HUD. Pressing “E” releases 5 large glowing stars (projectiles) around your character. Anyone hit by the star gets pushed away; this is especially effective when you use it against someone standing near the edge of the arena.
Each projectile here deals around 50 Knockback when it makes contact with the other player. The glove also has a charging mechanic affecting the projectile size and power of the projectile. Charging the glove further shoots out giant yellow stars, while pressing E without charging makes the projectile size smaller. The gaps between the projectiles get wider the farther they go; that’s why many players tend to charge up the glove instead of just launching it right away. Bigger stars tend to cover more area, even with the gaps between them. The coverage area is an advantage smaller stars don’t have; that’s why they are preferred in close-range scenarios.
One thing you should keep in mind is that your character slows down when charging. This leaves you open for all sorts of trouble if you are not carefully positioned in the arena.

Starfruit Glove is extremely good in the game, and if you like to hang out on the edge of the arena, you might want to rethink it, as the slightest touch from the projectile is enough to push you to the abyss below. You will see many players charging up the Starfruit Glove at a distance to cause as much damage as possible, to cover a wider area of damage. A simple attack without any charge also works; it does manage to push away players up close in Slap Battles.
