Evolved Gloves

Once you own a base glove and meet its requirement, you can unlock its evolved form for a dramatic power boost. Evolved gloves keep the original ability but add stronger knockback, faster cooldowns or area effects.

Prioritise evolving the glove you use most rather than spreading your cash thin across many base gloves.
