If you are trying to unlock the new Piñata Glove Mastery in Slap Battles, you will need to complete a few specific challenges. In this post, I will show you exactly how to access the mastery and what you need to do to unlock it.
The challenges are not particularly complicated, but one of them can take quite a bit of time because you need to collect a large amount of candy. The other challenges involve landing Perfect Slaps and eliminating players while you have the Sugar Rush speed buff.
So, let’s go through everything step by step so you know exactly what you need to do for the Piñata Mastery.
How to Access Piñata Mastery
First, you need to have the Piñata Glove available in your backpack.
Open your Backpack and search for the Piñata Glove.
According to the video, you can search for “PI” and the Piñata Glove should appear in the results. The search behavior was apparently changed or fixed, so searching for Piñata directly may also work.
Once you find the glove:
- Select the Piñata Glove.
- Click View.
- Look for the yellow Mastery button.
- Click the yellow button to open the Mastery screen.
You should now see the Piñata Mastery upgrade and its requirements.
Piñata Mastery Upgrade
The Piñata Mastery gives you several upgrades once you complete all of the required challenges.
The listed upgrades include:
- Stronger Materials
- Sugar Rush
- Tougher Fix
- Tough Piñata
The important part, however, is completing the three mastery challenges.
Piñata Mastery Challenges
There are three main challenges you need to complete:
| Challenge | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Eat Candy | Eat 1,250 candy dropped by a glove after slapping |
| Perfect Slaps | Land 75 Perfect Slaps |
| Sugar Rush Kills | Kill 100 players while you have the Sugar Rush speed buff |
Let’s look at each challenge individually.
Eat 1,250 Candy
The first challenge requires you to:
Eat 1,250 candy dropped by a glove after slapping.
This is probably the simplest challenge mechanically, but it can take the longest because you need to collect 1,250 pieces of candy.
The important part is that the candy needs to be dropped by a glove after slapping.
So, once candy appears, make sure you pick it up and continue doing this until your counter reaches 1,250.
You don’t necessarily need to worry about doing anything complicated here. The main challenge is simply staying consistent and collecting enough candy.
Land 75 Perfect Slaps
The second challenge requires:
75 Perfect Slaps
The game’s description explains that you need to land a slap after charging the slap into the green zone.
So, when using the Piñata Glove, pay attention to the charging indicator.
You want to release the slap when the charge reaches the green zone. Successfully doing this counts toward your Perfect Slap progress.
This challenge shouldn’t be too difficult once you get comfortable with the timing.
I recommend focusing on the timing rather than trying to rush your attacks. Once you get used to where the green zone appears, getting the 75 Perfect Slaps should become much easier.
Kill 100 Players During Sugar Rush
The final challenge requires you to:
Kill 100 players while on Sugar Rush.
This one requires a little more work because you need to combine the candy mechanic with player eliminations.
First, eat the candy to receive the Sugar Rush speed buff.
Once you have the speed boost, find another player and try to eliminate them while the buff is active.
Each qualifying elimination contributes toward the required 100 kills.
So the basic process is:
- Get candy.
- Eat the candy.
- Activate the Sugar Rush speed buff.
- Find another player.
- Eliminate them while the speed buff is active.
- Repeat until you reach 100 kills.
The main thing to remember is that you need the speed buff from the candy when you get the kill.
The Best Way to Work Through the Challenges
Since the candy requirement and Sugar Rush kills both involve candy, you can work on these challenges together.
Whenever you are collecting candy for the first challenge, use the Sugar Rush buff to go after other players whenever possible.
This way, you are making progress toward both:
- 1,250 candy
- 100 Sugar Rush kills
At the same time, keep practicing your Perfect Slaps so you can gradually work toward the 75 Perfect Slaps requirement.
This should make the overall mastery grind feel less repetitive.
How Many Challenges Are Required?
You need to complete all three listed challenges:
Challenge 1
Eat 1,250 candy dropped by a glove after slapping.
Challenge 2
Land 75 Perfect Slaps by charging your slap into the green zone.
Challenge 3
Kill 100 players while you have the Sugar Rush speed buff from candy.
Once you finish these requirements, you will have completed the Piñata Glove Mastery challenges.
Getting the Piñata Mastery in Slap Battles is mostly about putting in the time and working through the three challenges. The candy requirement is straightforward but requires a lot of collecting, while the Perfect Slaps require some timing practice.
The Sugar Rush challenge is probably the one where you will want to actively combine your candy collection with your kills. Once you eat the candy and get the speed buff, immediately look for opportunities to eliminate other players.
So, if you are working toward the new Piñata Mastery, keep collecting candy, practice those Perfect Slaps, and take advantage of every Sugar Rush opportunity you get. Before long, you should have all three challenges completed.
