     Slap Battles codes February 2025

February 16, 2025: There's a new Slap Battles code to celebrate Valentine's Day.

What are the new Slap Battles codes? In this Roblox experience, the only thing that matters is getting the most slaps. For each one you get, you can work your way closer to having the most destructive palm in the galaxy.

So, if you want to have the most powerful slapping hand, you'll need to work for it. There are plenty of other Roblox experiences out there if this one loses its appeal, and we have the latest freebies for the likes of Blade Ball codes, Anime Last Stand codes, and Toilet Tower Defense codes. Without further ado, these Slap Battles codes will give you a bit of a boost to get started.

Avowed: Best Fighter Build - first person view of a man with a sword in an icy region

Avowed may not offer a plethora of choices when it comes to classes, but your hand is certainly not limited.

In fact, I really like the class system and how it operates, and Obsidian has used a similar setup in their other titles. You can pick between Fighter, Ranger, and Wizard, and all of them have their unique playstyles (including abilities). Naturally, every class has its strengths and weaknesses, so let's take a look at how the classes rank compared to each other.

Avowed Class tier list

I have used two tiers to classify the three available classes. The S-tier represents the very best class you can currently avail in Avowed, while the A-tier classes are marginally off the top. An A-tier class is still good, and they're still strong and worthy of your consideration if you want to use them.

S-tier classes in Avowed

The Fighter class is the only S-tier entrant in Avowed, and the choice might confuse you. At first glance, this class and its abilities will appear to be extremely simple. However, the Fighter class is ideal for beginners and veterans alike, and its abilities pack a mighty punch.

I love the Fighter class due to how easy it is to use the abilities. At Level 1, you have Constant Recovery and Toughness, which makes the early game easier to deal with. Abilities like Devastating Criticals and Brawn can be unlocked at Level 5.

With the Fighter class, you'll be very hard to kill on one hand and yield great offensive potential on the other. If you want a bear of your own, you can summon that at Level 15.

A-tier classes in Avowed

In the A-tier, you get to pick between the Wizard and Ranger. I personally loved the Wizard class more in between them, and it's the best offensive class you can enjoy. However, the biggest difficulty of this class is its defense. Unlike Fighter, Wizard doesn't have a natural means of defense, so you'll have to rely heavily on your dodges.

That said, its offensive abilities make up for a weak defense, and the Wizard class offers the highest number of choices when it comes to picking damage types. The Ranger, on the other hand, is a more traditional option.

The Ranger class is easily the hardest one to master, as the amount of damage you can deal depends entirely on your ability to land skill shots. To do so, you'll want to use the Steady Aim ability at Level 1 and Marksmanship at Level 5. Together, these two abilities will make it easier for you to aim and do more damage from a longer distance.

Interestingly, certain abilities also improve your efficiency and damage potential with melee weapons. I strongly believe that it's best to take a hybrid approach if you're opting for the Archer class. Ultimately, you'll want to get the best possible builds to make the most of your selected classes in Avowed.

Sundays are for bracing for the February half-term week here in the UK, during which schools are closed and parents must occupy kids while it's still mostly cold and rainy outside. Quick, tidy the house, book in the playdates, get the shopping done, catch-up on sleep. And do some reading, obviously.

Dragon Island in Blox Fruits Roblox

The Valentine's Event has returned to Blox Fruits, and you can earn Hearts to maximize the amount of rewards you can unlock.

Hearts represent the main form of currency you can get during the event, which can then be used at the in-game ship. Different items are periodically made available at the shop, and they will all require the event currency to unlock. Let's take a look at how you can earn them to spend on the in-game shop.

Best ways to get Hearts in Blox Fruits

It's pretty easy to earn Hearts in the game. To do so, you'll have to defeat NPCs close to your player level. Of course, you can defeat NPCs at any location to earn the resource, but the aim should be to farm it efficiently. For that, go to any endgame spot that has loads of enemies.

Secondly, you'll have to defeat NPCs who are within 100 levels of your own. This is the only pointer you need to keep in mind while defeating the enemies. You can also invite your friends to improve your chances of the amount of rewards you get from farming the NPCs.

Best ways to spend Hearts in Blox Fruits

Blox Fruits Hearts

Once you have earned Hearts, you'll be able to spend them in the Event shop. When you open the shop, you'll find different items available for various amounts. This includes a few really valuable items that usually cost more Hearts to get. There are a few event-exclusive items as well, like Heart Shades and Cupid's oat.

Here are the locations where you'll find the event shop.

  • Near the fountain in Middle Town (First Sea)
  • Cafe (Second Sea)
  • Inside a building near Castle On The Sea (Third Sea)

That's pretty much it all when it comes to gaining Hearts. Make sure to check out our guide on getting all the dojo belts in Blox Fruits.

EA FC 25 Diogo Jota Flashback SBC solutions

The Diogo Jota Flashback SBC is now live in EA FC 25, and you can complete the challenge to obtain a special card for your Ultimate Team squad.

The 90-rated card has some interesting stats and playsytles, and the SBC seems pretty affordable. Let's take a look at how you can complete the SBC to unlock the new card. The card is a reflection of Jota's stellar season for Wolves in the 2017-18 season.

EA FC 25 Diogo Jota Flashback SBC tasks

The Diogo Jota Flashback SBC has five tasks, and here are the conditions.

Task 1 - Portugal

  • Min. 1 Players from: Portugal
  • Min. Team Rating: 85

Task 2 - Liverpool

  • Min. 1 Players from: Liverpool
  • Min. 1 Players: Team of the Week
  • Min. Team Rating: 86

Task 3 - Premier League

  • Min. 1 Players from: Premier League
  • Min. Team Rating: 87

Task 4 - Top Form

  • Min. 1 Players: Team of the Week
  • Min. Team Rating: 87

Task 5 - 88-Rated Squad

  • Min. Team Rating: 88

Diogo Jota Flashback SBC solutions

Here's a set of solution you can use to unlock the new Jota card in Ultimate Team.

Task 1 - Portugal

  • Any 10 85-rated items
  • Vitinha 85

Task 2 - Liverpool

  • Lavelle 87
  • Blundell 84
  • Pajor 87
  • Sommer 87
  • Palacios 84
  • Ruben Neves 84
  • Vlahovic 84
  • Gundogan 87
  • Engen 84
  • Any 87-rated TOTW item
  • Gakpo 83

Task 3 - Premier League

  • Osimhen 87
  • Palmer 85
  • Musiala 87
  • Pedri 86
  • Pajor 87
  • Mateo 85
  • Gabriel 86
  • Hansen 90
  • Girellli 85
  • Bruno Fernandes 87
  • Benzema 86

Task 4 - Top Form

  • Osimhen 87
  • Palmer 85
  • Musiala 87
  • Pedri 86
  • Any 87-rated TOTW item
  • Mateo 85
  • Gabriel 86
  • Hansen 90
  • Girellli 85
  • Bruno Fernandes 87
  • Benzema 86

Task 5 - 88-Rated Squad

  • Pajor 87
  • Renard 88
  • Osimhen 87
  • Gundogan 87
  • Hegerberg 89
  • Gabriel 86
  • Mead 88
  • Messi 88
  • Kobel 88
  • Ederson 88
  • Reiten 88

While the Jota item isn't bad, things could have been so much better. The card has decent Pace (90) and 5* Weak Foot, but misses out on 5* Skills. The base Shooting (88) isn't good enough, but the combination of Finesse Shot+ and First Touch+ is decent.

Had this SBC been cheaper, I would have gladly completed the challenge, as Jota has always been pretty good to use in the game's meta. Unfortunately, a SBC that costs upwards of 400,000 coins worth of fodder should offer a better item at this stage of the game. In contrast, the Fernando Torres Future Stars Icon SBC offers far better returns, although it's more expensive.

  • Mapi Leon 89

The new Stoichkov card costs almost one million coins worth of fodder, so he's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination. However, I really like how the card looks in terms of stats and playstyles. Power Shot+ might not be too useful, but Technical++ is pretty great in the current meta.

Additionally, he can play in three different positions, offers three roles++, and 5* Skills. If you can afford the fodder, this SBC might not be a bad shout at all. If you're on a lower budget and looking or a cheaper SBC, the N'Golo Kante Grassroot Greats SBC is a viable option as well.

You can also choose to evolve Maradona Grassroot Greats all the way up to 92 by spending 500,000 coins or 1,000 FC Points.
