Reaper

The Reaper Glove was added on August 1st, 2021 and is the 21st unlockable glove in Slap Battles. It costs 3500 slaps, and is easily one of, if not, the most annoying glove in the game. The glove's texture is a black base with the Grim Reaper plastered all over the glove.

Ability
The ability, Time's Up, is what makes the advantage for the user. Upon slapping another player, a laugh sound effect will play, and they will have a 25 (or less, depending on how many kills the Reaper user has) second timer appear above their head. The victim's screen will have a monochrome filter put over it, and all background music will stop (except for glove related songs, such as the Killstreak songs) A bar will appear, connecting you to the player who slapped you. Upon being slapped, you will have 25 seconds to kill the Reaper user or less depending on the phase, or else you die. This is where it becomes extremely annoying, A lot of players will simply slap you once and then run away until you die. But the ablilty can be canceled by them going to the 1v1 area from duelist or redacted portal, or turn the Reaper into rock by Rocky's ability.

Target Value
Players usually avoid people using the Reaper glove. However, when struck, they will make a desperate attempt to kill you as soon as possible before they are killed, which means that everyone you hit will target you until you are killed. Or jump off the cliff just so you can't get a kill, which can be just as annoying. One of the major downsides to this glove is how insanely long the death countdown is, however this is remedied by the new Killstreak-like system that has been added, which lowers the time. Reaper is rarely used due to how much the community hates it, however some people still use it because of the harbinger of death badge, to annoy people and to get Bubble.

Tips & Tricks

 * Obviously, attempt to avoid hitting One Shot gloves, as they can just kill you in one hit.
 * As mentioned in the trivia, you could try to team up with a The Flex, OVERKILL or MEGAROCK since getting hit by their abilities/hits under the Time's Up effects will contribute to the Reaper's kills.
 * Attempt to make it so players under the Time's Up effect don't jump on the void by slapping them repeteadly to the center, assuming they don't have a glove with a high power.
 * Avoid going for Swappers and Shukuchis near edges, since they can bait you into falling/getting slapped to the void.
 * This one is quite an obvious one, but don't slap your targets off the islands, it will not contribute to your kills.
 * Like Killstreak, go for players with a low number of Slaps, since they will usually have no idea that the passive does something.
 * Unlike Killstreak, you aren't really fast so you can still have a chance of getting hit by the bus from bus's ability, although you can just run around the map while trying to pay attention to see if it comes.
 * Try to dodge Rocky's rock since getting hit by it will remove all of your opponents's Times Up timer, regardless of the number.

Phase 1 (1-4 Kills)
To gain kills with Reaper, you have to kill players with the timer that appears above their head. Slapping them off of the edge won't work, however if they die any other way it will count as a kill. Upon gaining a kill, you will gain a small, black aura that surrounds your character, and a song will begin to play as well. Once you get another kill, you will get a little bit more aura added. The main reason you will want to get kills is because every kill improves your ability by a little bit. For instance, when you get 1 kill, the countdown on your ability will go down from 25 seconds to 24 seconds, enabling you to kill others quicker. The difference between this and Killstreak, however, is that your slap power is not buffed at all. You will still slap players with the base 45 power of the glove, even in it’s final phase.

The song played during this phase is DM DOKURO - The Step Below Hell.

Phase 2 (5-9 Kills)
Upon entering this phase, you gain more aura, along with a spinning red portal behind you. You also gain a very slight speed boost, enabling you to outrun others easier. Your kill timer will still go down by 1 for every kill that you get.

The song player during this phase is DM DOKURO - Blood Coagulant.

Phase 3 (9+ Kills)
Upon achieving this phase, you will gain even more aura, along with a pair of black wings being added right next to the red portal. Your speed is buffed further, now being the same as Phase 2 of Killstreak. Your ability will continue to be improved until it is capped at 10 seconds. Upon reaching this phase for the first time, you will obtain the Harbinger of death badge.(one half of getting bubble)

The song player during this phase is DM DOKURO - Open Frenzy.
