“Bleh!”
―Rocky's iconic phrase in BFDI-TPOT
―Rocky's iconic phrase in BFDI-TPOT
Overview
Rocky is a slap-costing glove added on March 4th, 2022, requiring 
9,500 to equip. This glove has a grayish black texture along with black lines.
Ability
Rocky's ability, "Rockifying Roller," grows a giant boulder in front of the user, which will quickly roll forward. When it touches somebody, the player will be encased in a Diamond rock for 4 seconds, after which they get slowed for a little, similar to how the Diamond glove works. The boulder disappears after 10 seconds. The boulder doesn't need to be moving to work.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Big projectile size and hitbox.
- Can be difficult to dodge at close range.
- Decently low cooldown.
- Slows down people after they get out.
- The same boulder can still hit your opponent after they break from their stone state.
- Good for edge fighting.
- Great against many gloves and abilities.
- The rock can erase Baller’s and Replica’s clone (if the replica user gets hit by the rock) NPCs instantly if it hits the NPC.
- The rock can move during God's Hand’s time stop.
- You can cancel out a God's Hand user's Timestop if you use the ability before their Timestop ability is activated.
- You can save people from bob, rob, or Track if you turn them into a stone.
- The slowness effect still works on Speedrun, despite Snow, Shard, and Snowball not slowing Speedrun down.
- You can stun Cloud users in their cloud, then slap them off (if possible) and steal their cloud.
- The user can reveal Phantom and Ghost users with the rock.
- You can move an Engineer’s sentry with the ability.
- The rock can easily get people off The Plate.
Neutral
- If you rock an Orbit user, their gloves won’t disappear but are rendered useless in their rock.
Cons
- Requires decent aim to use skillfully.
- The boulder takes a while to start rolling, which can give other players time to move out of the way.
- The time your opponent stays in the stone is fairly short (4 seconds).
- Once the rock hits a user the momentum of the rock is decelerated, and it will move slower due to the rock hitting the other user which turns them into a solid object.
- Not great against many gloves and abilities.
- Similar to Tableflip, the rock is prone to collision, meaning any anchored object or even any player hit by it will change its rock movement.
- The boulder cannot slow down Replica's clone, Reaper, and Killstreak.
- CUSTOM, MEGAROCK, and Diamond can transform before you use your ability.
- Pusher’s wall can push the boulder.
- Reverse users can activate their ability and purposely walk to the rock to turn you into a rock.
- This can be a pro because of the Reverse still being able to be pushed off the map by the rock.
- The boulder cannot stay for too long and often de-spawns.
- If aimed in the wrong spot, could get wedged in between things like planks and trees.
Special Interactions
- Diamond users which are already in their own rock will be turned into the MEGAROCK block for as long as their ability is active if the rocky boulder touches them.
- Will remove the Reaper timer from players.

Trivia
- When the rock is forming, your hitbox is increased.
- If a Killstreak hits someone at 74 kills, and they get hit by Rocky before the player they hit dies, they will keep their phase 4 speed and power, and they will have their phase 5 ability (DO NOT ABUSE, AS THIS IS A POTENTIAL BUG THAT CAN GET YOU BANNED).
- There used to be a glitch where if a Rocky user used the Rockifying Roller on a player using Speedrun, the Speedrun user could unequip the glove while being in the rock and, when they got out of the rock, they would start accelerating. This has since been patched.
- Many players could be falsely kicked by the anti-cheat due to this glitch.
- The ability, "Rockifying Roller," can solidify enemies twice if the enemy touches the roller twice before it de-spawns. In normal situations, this can be taken advantage of by aiming at the target and when the enemy is out of the Diamond rock, the user can slap the enemy towards the roller.
- With the correct timing, Diamond, MEGAROCK, and CUSTOM can be un-rocked if they use their ability precisely when they get hit by the roller.
- If you are hit and affected by Reaper’s ability and you use Rocky's ability and hit the Reaper, your timer will be removed and may even be transferred to the Reaper.
- If you hit a Divebomb user right as they take off, their camera will be permanently glitched.
- The new banner is a reference to the “Sisyphus” meme.
- Rocky is one of the only gloves to have its name written on the banner, the others being Meteor, Spoonful, STOP, Glovel, Mail, Run, Pocket, Divebomb, and formerly Speedrun when it was called “Dream.”
- Rocky and Pusher have similar sound effects for their abilities.
