Replica

Replica was added on August 8th, 2021 and is the 22nd unlockable glove in Slap Battles. Its mainly intended for farming slaps, as you might be able to tell. It's extremely difficult to hit the clone without being hit yourself, making this glove extremely good for slap farming. This glove is needed to get the bob glove.

Ability
Replica's ability is called "Genetic engineering". It spawns a clone which will attack other players for you. The clone lasts 20 seconds before despawning, and the ability has a 15 second cooldown. Sadly you can't have multiple clones at once, (the original clone will despawn upon using the ability a second time) but if you continue refreshing the clone you can have it out 100% of the time you're using the glove. It's important to note that the clone will target the player nearest to its owner, not the player nearest to the clone itself. If the clone slaps someone you gain slaps as normal, just like if you'd slapped them yourself. For some reason, its almost impossible for the clones to miss when they try hitting someone, making them extremely powerful against normal range gloves. However, the clones will try to take a straight path towards your target, which means they can fall off a cliff or be vulnerable to MEGAROCK users (though they will not target the players inside rocks). This ability is easily one of the best in the game, its essentially a free 2x slaps (as long as you're attacking people while your clone is active). The fact that clones almost never miss is extremely useful, making this an extremely frustrating ability to play against if used correctly.

Target Value
Most people will target your clone instead of you, since they often can't tell if its you or not. This makes you free from danger, however its pretty obvious which is a clone and which isn't. If you're having trouble telling the difference, keep these things in mind:

1: clones can't jump. If someone jumps, they aren't a clone.

2: clones will take a straight path toward a player. They will never zigzag or move erratically.

3: unless ragdolled, a clone will never stop swinging its glove. Look for the person who isn't swinging.

4: generally, the player using the glove will be hiding behind his or her clone, using the clone as a meat shield.

Ranking
This glove is definitely one of the best gloves for farming slaps, and is a good glove in general. For only 4000 slaps this glove is honestly right up there in the ranks. Once you use this glove a lot, expect to FLY through the game, getting gloves like Error and maybe The Flex if you play a lot.

Trivia

 * You can slap your own clone but it will not give you any slaps.
 * Your clones can still target Ghost users even if they are invisible. That makes this glove a good counter to Ghost glove users.
 * Back when the chain was can collide true, you could climb up it to camp and send clones to slap people for you, of course, this was only for a few days.
 * There is a glitch when a clone and you hit a player in different ways the person will start flying (slowly up) and spinning but glitch happens very rarely.
 * Summoning a clone while ragdolled will cause the clone to lay on the floor for the equivalent time to God's Hand's Ragdoll. Afterwards, it will move around while radgolled, causing a freakishly ragdolled clone to move around and slap people.
 * Summoning a clone while ragdolled in the air will cause the clone to be ragdolled and float upwards indefinitely.
 * There was a glitch where clones could freely move around the map while God's Hand's Stop time ability was activated. However, this glitch has now been fixed and no longer occurs.
 * The replica can pass through Defense's barrier
 * If you have lost health from Plague or have the Reaper's countdown when you summon your clone, the clone will have the same effects with some differences: The clone will not lose health from having the plague, and the countdown will not actually count down.
