Killstreak

The Killstreak glove was added on June 23rd, 2021 and is the 27th unlockable glove in Slap Battles. It appears as a red colored glove with the diamond plating texture. It is widely considered to be one of the best gloves in the game, however, there are some drawbacks that aren't touched on very often, which will be discussed throughout the page.

Soul snatcher
The Killstreak glove's passive, Soul snatcher, is very good. Whenever you get a kill, it adds to your power and walkspeed, making you stronger. Once you reach certain milestones, you will gain big stat increases, which are categorized as phases, of which there are 7. However, when you reach 75 kills, you gain another ability activated with E at the cost of a power and walkspeed nerf. This power is then upgraded again upon hitting 100 kills. The ability is stronger, and your high walkspeed and power are restored. Finally, when reaching 250 kills, you lose the ability and glove in trade for a different ability, which makes up for the loss of slapping. You are able to steal other player's streaks by killing them while also using Killstreak.



Abilities
Please note that these abilities have no official name.

Orb Blast
You gain the ability to fire an orb at phase 5. This does little knockback and has a relatively small hitbox, but it's useful to take out edge campers if you know how to aim. Orb blast is then upgraded upon achieving phase 6, where it is now massive and gives extreme knockback to anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in the blast.

Telekinetic Push
Upon achieving phase 7, you lose the orb blast ability and receive this instead. Upon pressing E, your character raises their arm and a whooshing sound effect is played, while anyone in front of you is flung away.

Target Value
The target value of the glove is one of the highest, people will go to any and all lengths just to kill you. This is one of the most targeted gloves in the entire game, earning this glove a target value of 10/10. Other players will take advantage of you when you have less than 10 kills, and as well as being in the 75-99 kill range, when your stats get decreased. There are a variety of gloves and methods people use to kill you, with the most popular method being 1-shot gloves, most often God's Hand for it's Time stop ability.

Phase 0 (0-3 Kills)
Your walkspeed and power are weak, but it actually can be a good thing. The low power can enable you to combo someone to the edge, securing a kill, hoping someone doesn't interrupt it. Every kill you gain, a small amount of fire is added to your glove.

You have no aura, and no audio is played during this phase.

Phase 1 (4-9 Kills)
This phase starts at 4 kills, as music starts playing, as well as the walkspeed boost becoming noticeable. At 5 kills, you gain a red aura, and the boost in power becomes noticeable. This lasts until 10 kills, which is when the next phase begins.

The song played during this phase is Toby Fox - Finale.

Phase 2 (10-24 Kills)
When you reach 10 kills, everyone's screen will flash red a few times, almost like a warning to everyone that you've reached 10 kills. Your walkspeed and power increase further, and you can basically 1-shot everyone unless they get lucky. You retain the same aura as Phase 1.

Upon reaching this phase for the first time, you are awarded the [REDACTED ] badge.

The song played during this phase is DM DOKURO - Scourge of The Universe.

Phase 3 (25-49 Kills)
When you reach 25 kills, you are slowed to a crawl. The music starts, and everyone's screen is slowly tinted blue. As soon as the buildup in the song ends, the screen returns to normal, and your character's aura will flash white, showing that the transformation is complete. You get extreme power and walkspeed boosts, and now it is almost always a 1 shot kill. Your aura changes to blue, with lightning bolts and an X crisscross effect.

Upon reaching this phase for the first time, you are awarded the "The one" badge.

The audio played during this phase is DM DOKURO - Universal Collapse.

Phase 4 (50-74 Kills)
When you reach 50 kills, a black and purple colored explosion goes off around you. The song starts, and you are slowed. Everyone's screen slowly zooms out and turns red. Everyone's screen will stay this deep red color as long as you are in this phase and you haven't died. You slowly get faster, and the screen will slowly start to zoom back in. After the buildup of the song, your aura becomes bright red and fiery, signifying that the transformation is complete. You now have ludicrous amounts of both walkspeed and power, and the sound it makes when you slap other players is the same sound as the God's Hand. You also leave behind you a fiery red trail.



Upon reaching this phase for the first time, you are awarded the Ascend badge.

The song played during this phase is DM DOKURO - Stained, Brutal Calamity, however only the first part, Grief, is played.

Phase 5 (75-99 Kills)
Upon reaching 75 kills, the screen turns purple, then fades, while a powering down sound is played. Rainbow text appears at the top of the screen, saying, "ABILITY UNLOCKED!", then it slides to the top and disappears. Your walkspeed and power are returned to default stats, and you unlock an E ability. Each kill gives you a little boost in walkspeed and power.

Ability
Using the ability, you raise the glove into the air, and a purple energy orb grows. You then swing the glove forward and fire the orb directly the way you are facing. Honestly, the ability isn't that good, the purple orb deals only a slight amount of knockback. Getting a kill during the beginning of this phase is one of the hardest things about this glove, especially since the entire server is against you.

Your aura is a dull, purple color, but when you reach 80 kills, it gets a bit more detailed, with a bit of a light purple, almost pink color being added. This is the only phase that does this kind of thing with the aura. You have to be extremely careful during this phase, as the other players will use your nerfed walkspeed and power to their advantage. You need to get kills as quickly as possible so you can outrun the 1 shot glove users.

The audio played during this phase was originally DM DOKURO - The Filthy Mind, however it was removed for copyright reasons. The song was briefly changed to LISA: The Painful OST - All Hail The Fishmen, before being switched to Domyeah - Final Boss.

Phase 6 (100-249 Kills)
When you reach 100 kills, an explosion sound effect plays, and everyone's screen is blinded by yellow. The music starts, and the yellow will eventually fade into a blur, and then back to normal. Your aura is a mix of yellow and black, and interestingly, the glove will glow a bright yellow, almost like the Golden glove. Your walkspeed and power are restored, and so is the God’s Hand slap sound effect.

Ability
In addition, your E ability is upgraded. Now, it is a giant yellow orb, which has extreme knockback and a relatively short cooldown. It can throw anyone off of the main island from wherever they are, unless they get knocked to the opposite edge from where they stand. With all of these pros, this might be a contender for the best ability in the game.

A skilled player with this phase is basically immortal for the time being, since they can just use their gigantic orb to knock camping God's Hand users and other 1 shot gloves away. Only luck will decide when a 1 shot glove user spawns on you.

Upon reaching this phase for the first time, you are awarded the 1 0 0 badge.

The audio played during this phase is DM DOKURO - Unholy Insurgency.

Phase 7 (250+ Kills)
The final phase of the Killstreak glove is an extremely powerful phase. When you reach 250 kills, you are slowed, a new song will start, and a black, dripping effect emits from your character. Your pose also changes, with the character's arms being held behind the back, and you can see them breathing visibly. After the buildup in the song finishes, an explosion occurs, and everyone's screen is zoomed in and out rapidly. Your aura is now pitch black, with a glitch-like effect also added.



Once you reach this phase, you can no longer slap people, instead, you use your telekinesis ability to fight now. When using this ability, your character will extend their right arm, and a whooshing sound effect will play, along with launching any player in front of you a good distance away. The ability has a decent range, and the cooldown is extremely short. In addition, the ability is able to ignore the Reverse glove's ability, and is still usable during a God's Hand user's Time stop. Your walkspeed is decently quick, but slower than most phases, and the ability does not upgrade the more kills you get.

This phase is actually based off of the admin "glove" Edgelord. The pose and ability are the same, however, the Edgelord glove has quite a few different advantages, with teleportation, invincibility, and longer ability range. The only true advantage this phase has over Edgelord is faster walkspeed.

Upon reaching this phase for the first time, you are awarded the 250 badge

The audio played during this phase is NyxTheShield - TRUE LOVE [Metal Remix ].

Tips
Here are tips that you may be able to use as a Killstreak on public servers.


 * Be sure to check the leaderboard often. This will warn you in advance if someone is using a 1 shot glove or something like Reverse. This will also help you tell who's using what glove, as many players will hide their glove from you in an attempt to be sneaky.


 * Abuse the iframes that you get upon hitting phases 3 and 4. Use them to take out 1 shot gloves while you ar e invulnerable to their attacks.


 * When you see Reverse or Stun glove users, run towards them for a second, then immediately back away. This is to try and bait them into using their ability. In the case of the Reverse glove, as soon as the ability is over, rush in and try to kill them as soon as possible. If you can't kill them immediately, back away and wait for them to use their ability again, as you can't always know when the ability cooldown is over. If you know how long the cooldown is, you can try to calculate when they'll be able to use the ability again.


 * If there are Za Hando and/or Swapper glove users present in the server, try to kill them as quickly as possible. Do not let them get to the edges or the small islands, as that is the prime position they wait in for you to approach. Also keep in mind that Za Hando glove users can team with MEGAROCK, CUSTOM or Diamond glove users (plus a Rocky glove user for Diamond) to pull you into the rock, killing you in the process.


 * If a Shukuchi glove user is camping the edge, approach them backwards. This is so you can bait them to use the ability, and you will get slapped towards the center. Then, quickly run back to gain another kill, or just ignore them. Beware, however, as the long animation that Shukuchi plays may leave you vulnerable when it ends.


 * If there is a God's Hand user, you need to be extremely careful to not let their cooldown end. Most of the time, they will stop time and go straight for you. Try to attack them from the sides, as this is the most unexpected angle of which you can attack from. Another viable strategy is to see if other players will kill them, but if they have been alive for around 30 to 40 seconds, killing them is vital.


 * Often times, you don't need to worry too much about other 1 shot glove users like OVERKILL users, as you can just outrun them. It is suggested to not kill them, because if they are still alive and kept out of the Lobby, they will be less likely to switch to God's Hand.


 * In Phase 4, wait until you get to 74 kills, and then stop trying to get kills. Wait until a big group of weak glove users appear, and then rush in and slap them all. This is to push yourself closer to 80 kills, which is when you can gain enough speed to comfortably outrun other players.


 * In phases 5 and 6, be careful not to use your ability if people are relatively close to you. This is because of a bug where when charging up your ability, you freeze in place on other player's screens, even though on your screen, you will most likely still be moving. You can still be slapped when frozen on other player's screens like this, so be wary.


 * If you manage to reach 250 kills, avoid getting hit by the Plague and Potato gloves at all costs. Since you lose the ability to slap, you cannot remove their effects if you happen to get it, giving you a slow and painful death.


 * If someone is hiding their glove and you haven't checked the leaderboard, always assume it's a 1 shot glove or something like Reverse.


 * If you know that a God's Hand user is close to the end of their cooldown, an option for escape is to run to a small island and attempt to climb the tree. When they use the ability, jump off of the tree so that you will get frozen in midair. Unless the God's Hand user is unusually good at climbing the trees, you should be able to escape them.


 * If you need quick kills, target the weaker gloves such as Default, Diamond, ZZZZZZZ, etc., and avoid anyone else chasing you near the edge.


 * Be wary of Pusher glove users, as they can kill you very easily when you are near the edge.


 * If someone with a good glove is chasing you when you don’t have a high streak, you can attempt to lure them to an edge and jump around them to hit them off.


 * If someone has the woah glove equipped, try not to be at the edge of the map as you have an almost guaranteed chance of being killed, should they use their shockwave ability.


 * If you can, you can use the plate to your advantage if you are trapped on a small island to escape. Although this could be effective, God's Hand users could use Stop time, and since the plate still moves in stopped time, you will die when time resumes.


 * If someone that you've seen is an expert of luring players and jumping around players to hit them off, it might be a good idea to leave them alone if you're not good against those type of people.


 * Bob users should be avoided since they can just lure you into the Cube of Death and kill you afterwards, or if you're not looking to kill bob itself, a Stun can end up stunning you so bob can kill you.


 * Try to avoid Defense glove users, since they can glitch you into the underground with their ability. If you happen to get unlucky and have this happen to you, you may need a friend/player with Swapper to swap you out.


 * Be warned in earlier phases as MEGAROCK and CUSTOM users can trap you under their rock and kill you. If this happens, try to spam jump and move out from underneath the rock. Be warned, however, as there are certain ways you can get trapped that you can't escape from with spam jumping.


 * Be wary of STOP glove users, if you get too close to them they may use their ability and will stop you, this is more dangerous if you're close to the void. To kill them, run towards them for a second, then inmediately back away. This is to try and bait them into using their ability to kill you, you are less vulnerable to STOP in phases 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7, you should avoid these users during phases 1 and 5 because you move slower unless you get more kills.

If you are able to get to stronger phases such as Phase 6, you can ignore some of these tips.

Trivia

 * For phases 3, 4, and 7, as long as you are slow, you have immunity frames (iframes). This means no one can slap you as long as they are active. Be aware, however, that you can still die if you slap someone under the influence of the Reverse glove's ability.
 * This is the glove to have the most badges associated with it, having 5 badges available to obtain. The only other gloves to come close are the Diamond and Reverse gloves, with 2 badges each.
 * Weirdly enough, phases 1 and 5 are the only phases to not reward badges upon achieving them. In the case of phase 1, it's probably because it is pretty easy to achieve, but there still isn't a good explanation as to why phase 5 doesn't reward a badge.
 * On mobile, E abilities can be used with an on-screen button. Interestingly, upon reaching phase 5 and gaining the ability, the E ability button is different from the normal one. This also occurs when an Xbox user reaches phase 5, as they cannot use LT for some reason.
 * All auras give off light, although it can be a bit hard to notice at times.
 * Killstreak, Reaper, and Dream are not slowed by Snow's ability.
 * In the Killstreak and Reaper glove's case, this may be so they don't easily die to them or others when hit.
 * This glove was originally allowed in No Oneshot Glove Servers, however it was removed due to it being "grossly overpowered". It was briefly added back due to a glitch, but was subsequently removed again a few days later.
 * Phase 4 is the only phase with a song that has lyrics, though it's hard to make out what the people are saying. It's also the only one that isn't fully played, most likely because the original is 12 minutes long with 4 parts.
 * This glove is currently the only glove that is able to have a passive and an E ability, as well as the only one that can lose abilities in trade for others.
 * This and the CUSTOM glove are the only gloves that can change colors.
 * Phase 4's kill count number is actually white although it is colored red because of the red effect. If you die, you can see the actual color.
 * Going in first person while you have an aura (phase 1 and above) can make your game lag and you will be unable to see.
