Overview
Frostbite is a badge glove, requiring the Ice Essence badge to obtain. It was released on April 26, 2024. Visually, this glove has an appearance of light blue and cyan ice shards placed similarly to a mosaic painting.
Obtainment
To obtain Frostbite, you need to use Shard, become frozen by either an Ice user, Iceskate user, Mitten’s ice gift, Swordfighter's darkheart, or Alchemist’s Freeze potion, and then be affected by Frostbite’s ability. This will teleport you to a place called The Ice Trials, information and tips about the game can be found on the page. At the end of the trial, when you see the ice essence (the ice essence is a large, light-blue pat submerged into the ground), hold the interaction button, and you will be rewarded the Ice Essence badge (along with the glove) and be teleported back to Slap Battles.
This is obtainable in private servers.
Ability
Frostbite's ability is called "Ice Age". Upon using the ability, the user will slowly raise their arm to charge up an attack and slam their arm into the ground. After slamming the ground, it covers the ground with a certain radius of ice all around the user, and freezes everyone caught in the initial impact for 7 seconds like a solid statue. Ice spikes also appear around the user, which can be stood on as well. The ground will stay iced for about 9 seconds afterwards (16 seconds in total) and will cause all movement on top to be slippery, even to the user.
Charging the ability for longer (3 seconds maximum) will cause the ability's area of effect to increase substantially, at a maximum of approximately 2.5x the original size (about 1/5 of the main island). Charging the ability does not change the cooldown whatsoever.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Very good AOE (area of effect) even when not charged up.
- You can help people get Frostbite too.
- The ability stuns people, allowing you to slap easier, and frozen players take extra knockback.
- You can stop charging the ability at any point, which activates it while still increasing its AOE.
- Ability has decent cooldown.
- Players who get into radius of the ability will be frozen even if they jump.
- Good in cramped places, as players will have more trouble escaping.
- Good for camping edges or side islands.
- Certain gloves can kill a player while frozen
- If activated before time stop, you can unleash your ability while time is frozen. This can stop the God's hand user for a couple seconds.
- Players nearby you when you are charging will have trouble running away from the ability.
- Frozen players cannot use most of their abilities as well, allowing you to safely slap players who are using Parry, Counter, Shukuchi and Jebaited (be careful, as Jebaited users may have used their ability before getting frozen causing you to die).
- Bypasses Shield, Elude, Counter, Jebaited, among others.
- You can use the ice's slipperiness to your advantage to send people further away.
- Due to the speed you travel on ice while walking backwards, you can actually perform combos or lunge/sneak attack players.
- You can somehow slap while changing, however they need to be lined up with your arm.
- You can move while charging, however quite slowly, about the speed of Quake charging.
- Replica's clones can be frozen by the ability, and Baller's NPC instantly despawns.
- You can freeze Titan users with the ability, which is great for lowering their boss HP.
- Orbit's orbiting hands lose the ability to slap while frozen.
- If an invisible player such as Ghost, Hitman, or Admin becomes frozen while invisible, once they unfreeze, their head will be shown.
- Voodoo can have players get frozen if a Frostbite user uses their ability by a doll.
- Invincible players such as Golden and Alchemist after drinking their potion can still slide on the ice from the ability.
Neutral
- The ice is slippery to everyone, including you.
- There is a glitch for mobile players that pushes you forward on the ice insanely fast when walking in any direction that isn’t forwards (this is likely a bug, and this appears in various games, due to animations or physics glitches).
- Flamarang's ability does not work on frozen players.
Cons
- The ability gets canceled if someone slaps you.
- The fully charged ability takes a while to charge up.
- People are only frozen if they're on the ground as it freezes. Walking onto already frozen ground won't freeze people.
- If you somehow manage to perform the ability while in the air, it will do the animation, but no ice will spawn.
- The ability cannot bypass Reverse.
- The ability won't spawn ice if used on The Plate.
- The slippery effect from the ice can be avoided by jumping.
- Even when tapped, the ability has a rather long startup, allowing people to slap you.
- People with Animation Pack can use /e helicopter to become immune to the ability.
- Stunned players, for example, using ZZZZZZZ's ability will not be affected by the ability.
- Frozen players can still slap you if you end up touching their glove.
- You cannot use ability while above land, such as on a tree.
- rob users cannot be frozen while as rob or transforming.
- Frostbite's ability cannot freeze a player affected by Sbeve's ability.
- You are slowed while using the ability.
- Unlike Quake the ability isn't instant.
Special Interactions
- When a Bull, Retro's ban hammer, Hammer, or Home Run's baseball bat hits a player frozen by Frostbite, the frozen player will shatter, killing them instantly.
- OVERKILL's passive can be disabled by Snow, Ice, Shard, Iceskate's ice, Snowball's turret, and Frostbite's ice. This will make it not a one-shot for a few seconds after returning back to normal.
- If an ice effect from Ice, Iceskate, Mitten or Alchemist freezes a Shard user, and then gets frozen by Frostbite, the Shard user will be sent to the The Ice Trials.

Trivia
- The ability "Ice age" and its name is potentially a reference to the Hie Hie no Mi fruit from the manga/anime One Piece, as the fruit also has an ability named "Ice Age" that covers a large body of water with ice.
- This could potentially be true as asset files of Frostbite is named "Hİe"
- This ability can also be a reference to "The Stone Age,” the ability of Diamond.
- The screen shakes when you use the ability if you have your camera close enough to your character.
- The term “Frostbite” means “An injury caused by freezing of the skin and underlying tissues.”
- The tooltip is a reference to Monsters Inc.
- Click to Move in the Ice Trials has been disabled to prevent players from cheating on the glass bridge.
- However, when the glove was just released, it wasn't disabled, making the first people to get it able to go through the ice bridge easily.
- The ability is similar in name to Diamond's ability, "The Stone Age,” but otherwise is similar to Quake's ability.
- When you use Frostbite’s ability, your hand is covered in ice.
- This glove's ability could be considered as an ice-type counterpart of Quake, as both freeze players around the user and can be charged up for a bigger radius.
- This glove, like Plague, [REDACTED], bus, Mitten, Goofy, Iceskate, Joust, Run, and Siphon, requires itself to obtain.
- If MR is frozen, it will keep the frozen blue color.
- Knockoff users can slap frozen players, and their head that falls off stays blue and icy.
- Frozen players by Frostbite's ability look and act similar to Ice's passive or Iceskate's freezing floor.
- This glove is very similar to Glacier, a Slap Royale glove, as both abilities freeze players with an ice attack (it even plays the same sound when the ability is used), but they do different effects to the user.
- This and Snow, Ice, Shard, Snowball, Iceskate, and Glacier all have snow/ice/winter type abilities.
- You can practice the ice trial obby here (note that it may not be exactly the same as the real obby).
- If you slap a player that is frozen by the ability into a MEGAROCK or another type of rock, the player will phase through it.
- If you're standing on top of someone, you can use the ability to make a little area where people (that are not frozen) can go on it and mess around.
- The badge icon is a reference to a clip from The Amazing Digital Circus, specifically the pilot episode.
- This is the 6th winter-related glove.
- While the floor tiles look quite similar to Iceskate's ability, it acts completely different, while Iceskate's tiles prevent you from jumping, slows you down, and freeze you after a while, Frostbite's freezes you immediately, lets you jump, and does not slow you down (it is slippery instead).
- The ice on your hand after using the ability does not change any gameplay and is entirely cosmetic.
- Ice tiles cannot spawn above the void, however the ice spikes that spawn can.
- If an Iceskate user becomes frozen, their tiles will still spawn below them.
- Emotes by Roblox will stop moving after being frozen.
- If you use Flash's ability as you get frozen you will not teleport and your screen will stay black.
- Orbit's orbiting hands changes texture permanently after being frozen.
- You can freeze the entire Pocket dimension room if you charge and use your ability as you enter.
- This glove has an admin version called Frost God.
- If you use Home Run’s bat, Retro’s ban hammer, Hammer’s hammer, or Bull on a frozen player who got hit by the impact of the Frostbite ability, you are able to shatter and instantly kill them.
- You can walk at normal speed while charging up your ability by walking on and off Iceskate’s tiles.
- If a Angler user gets frozen while having their fishing rod equipped, their bobber with become blue, which becomes normal again if they re-equip the rod again.
