The Combo Glove is a new slap-cost glove in Slap Battles that rewards nonstop aggression. It arrived with the Piñata Mastery update, and unlocking it is purely a matter of banking enough slaps rather than clearing a badge challenge or a boss fight.
Quick answer: Buy the Combo Glove at its stand for 47,500 slaps. There is no secret badge and no boss fight to complete first.
Combo Glove unlock requirement
The Combo Glove sits among the high-slap gloves at the far end of the glove hallway. The only cost to claim it is 47,500 slaps, spent directly at its stand. No hidden badge, quest, or fight gates it, so the entire barrier is time spent slapping other players.
How to buy the Combo Glove
Farming slaps for the purpose of grinding masteries is against the lobby rules, so build your total through normal play.
Combo Glove power and decay mechanics
The Combo Glove starts weak and grows stronger the more you chain hits. It opens at 40 power and adds 10 power for every consecutive slap that connects with an opponent, so a sustained streak in a busy lobby pushes your output far above the baseline.
That bonus does not last if you stop fighting. Power drains back toward 40 at roughly 1 point per second, and the drain speeds up exponentially the longer you go without landing a hit. In practice, the glove works best when you keep pressing attacks rather than backing off.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Base power | 40 |
| Per consecutive hit | +10 power |
| Passive decay | About −1 power per second toward 40 |
| Extended idle | Decay rate increases exponentially |
Other changes in the Piñata Mastery update
The Combo Glove shipped as part of a broader patch that also added a mastery track and adjusted a few existing gloves.
- Piñata received a mastery track, viewable from the glove’s mastery menu in-game.
- Inventory search now finds the glove when you type “Pinata” without the accented ñ.
- Be The Glove had its power raised from 48 to 54.
- The Slapstreak game mode was pulled from rotation for balancing.
Accessing Piñata Mastery
To open the new track, you first need the Piñata Glove in your backpack. Search for it, select it, click View, then click the yellow Mastery button to see the challenges. The glove itself comes from the Birthday Bash badge, awarded to whoever lands the final hit on a spawned piñata, which requires an Alchemist and an Oven user to bake and place a cake that summons it.
Piñata Mastery challenges
Completing all three challenges unlocks the mastered upgrades, which include Stronger Materials, Sugar Rush, Tougher Fix, and Tough Piñata.
| Challenge | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Eat Candy | After slapping, consume 1,250 pieces of candy dropped by a glove. |
| Perfect Slaps | Land 75 slaps timed into the green zone |
| Sugar Rush Kills | Kill 100 players while the Sugar Rush speed buff is active |
The candy and Sugar Rush goals pair naturally, since eating candy triggers the speed buff you need for the kills. For Perfect Slaps, hold the charge and release when the meter lands in the green zone.
Mastery quests cannot be completed in private servers, so work through the candy, Perfect Slap, and Sugar Rush goals in public lobbies where other players are present.
