Best Gloves for V-Ball Mode in ARMS - Nintendo SwitchIt is important to choose gloves that can hit fast and return to you as quickly as possible so you can control your movement speed during the match. The ball will always fly back and forth so you must keep your eyes on the ball. Avoid using gloves such as Boomerang, Thunderbird, Guardian, Megaton and Blob.

Tip 1: Activating a Spike hit

You can prepare a Spike hit and hit it again to successfully spike the ball. This will make the ball fall really fast on your opponent’s side and harder for your opponent to hit back the ball. Here is how to spike:

  •  Press A + B to to Grab the ball which will make a Wind Aura around the ball upon hitting it.
  •  Press A or B to hit the ball to Spike the ball into the opponents side of the field.

Tip 2: Timing

Avoid using your arms as individual or single hits at a fast pace. Even though the game mode is meant to make you move at a fast pace, using your arms too fast in succession can delay your arms coming back to you and harder for you to turned to or face the ball. Timing is the key and listen to the Ball sounds as it will beep eventually.

  •  Use Y button to move faster.
  •  Always hit the ball with one of your arms just incase you needed the other one for back up.
  • Use jump when you feel confident in making an air hit. Pressing X Button.
  •  Always move around and prepare to hit the next ball while standing in the field.
  • If in Team V-Ball mode, watch how your Partner acts and follow up with them with their hits.
  • Never stand in the way of your partner while hitting the ball in a Team V-Ball match.

If by any chance you don’t have other gloves equipped to your favorite characters. Most default characters come with at least a Light Glove for both hands. Despite some characters having a larger design, that does not mean they are slow at punching. Almost all characters have the same hit speed when using Light Gloves and/or Heavy typed gloves. A few characters do not have light gloves and mostly Heavy gloves as default. You may want to avoid using them for V-ball mode. Here are some of the characters that come with Light Glove as default:

  • Springman > Toaster
  • Ribbon Girl > Slapamander
  • Ninjara > Buff
  • Twintelle > Chilla
  • Byte & Barq > Bubb
  • Kid Cobra > Slamamander
  • Max Brass > Roaster

With much practice and choosing the right gloves. You will get better in no time! There will be sometimes where you are un-matched and that is okay. Try your best!
