what happens when rob absorbs cherry in slap battles
When Rob absorbs Cherry in Slap Battles, Rob can absorb Cherry’s summoned copies, and the wiki notes that gloves like Cherry can be used as bait for Rob’s absorption. Cherry’s copies also disappear immediately if they get slapped or hit, so the interaction is mostly about timing and positioning rather than a special hidden combo.
What players mean
In practice, people usually mean one of two things:
- Rob absorbs the Cherry clones and gains the usual Rob pressure/kill setup.
- Cherry user tries to bait Rob into wasting the absorb on clones instead of the real player.
Why it matters
This matchup is popular because Cherry can create extra targets, while Rob’s absorption can punish careless clone placement. Community discussion suggests Cherry can even force Rob to burn abilities or get comboed if the Cherry player manages clones well.
Simple takeaway
So the short answer is: Rob can absorb Cherry’s clones, and good Cherry play is often about using those clones to bait or dodge Rob rather than letting them get eaten cleanly.
