How To Get Elf Glove in Slap Battles

by

The Elf Glove is a limited-time Christmas glove added to Slap Battles during the holiday event.

It introduces a unique toy-crafting ability, faster movement, and a smaller hitbox, making it one of the most interesting event gloves released so far.

Because it is tied to a badge and a special game mode, many players are confused about how to unlock it.

This guide explains exactly how to get the Elf Glove, what its ability does, and whether it is worth using.

How To Unlock the Elf Glove in Slap Battles

To unlock the Elf Glove, you must earn the Snowball Synergy badge.

This badge is obtained by playing the Snowball Smash game mode, which is only available during the Christmas event.

Snowball Synergy Badge Requirements

To earn the badge, you must:

  • Play the Snowball Smash game mode

  • Use all three classes:

    • Light

    • Medium

    • Heavy

  • Earn 350 hill points with each class

This means you need a total of 1,050 hill points, evenly split across the three classes.

How Hill Points Work in Snowball Smash

Hill points are earned by standing inside the hill zone while your team has full control.

Important details to remember:

  • Points only count if no enemy players are inside the hill

  • You do not need to win the match

  • The longer you stay inside the hill uncontested, the faster you earn points

  • Progress is saved separately for each class

Once you reach 350 hill points on Light, Medium, and Heavy, the Snowball Synergy badge unlocks instantly.

After earning the badge, the Elf Glove becomes available automatically.

Elf Glove Ability Explained

The Elf Glove’s main ability is called Santa’s Workshop.

When you press and hold the ability button, the glove crafts toys. The longer you hold the button, the stronger the toy becomes.

Toy Crafting Stages

  • Short hold
    Crafts Robot Toys that walk around briefly before exploding, knocking back nearby players

  • Medium hold
    Crafts a Nutcracker that moves on its own and fires shotgun blasts, disrupting enemies

  • Long hold
    Crafts a Tank that you can ride, move with, and attack by slapping
    The tank remains active for around 30 seconds before disappearing

If you get hit while crafting, the ability fails, so positioning is important.

Passive Effects of the Elf Glove

In addition to its active ability, the Elf Glove provides permanent passive bonuses:

  • Smaller character size

  • Increased movement speed

These effects make you harder to hit and better at repositioning during fights.

Elf Glove Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Smaller hitbox makes dodging easier

  • Faster movement speed at all times

  • Strong area control with crafted toys

  • Nutcracker automatically targets players

  • Tank is very powerful in close combat

Cons

  • Ability fails if interrupted

  • Robots have limited range

  • Tank can be hard to control

  • Other players can knock you off the tank

  • Less effective when being chased aggressively

Is the Elf Glove Worth Using

Yes, but it shines in specific situations.

The Elf Glove is best used for area control, disruption, and chaotic fights rather than direct dueling. Its speed and size bonuses give it strong survivability, while the tank and nutcracker can dominate crowded areas if used correctly.

However, it requires good timing and positioning to avoid getting interrupted while crafting.
