The collection of abilities a character comes with in a game. "Her kit is busted" = her abilities are overpowered. Kits are what game designers balance patch over patch; players memorize cooldowns down to fractions of a second and argue for nerfs accordingly.
"His new kit is fun but the ultimate is broken."

Kit in gaming refers to a character's set of abilities and tools. "His kit is overpowered" = his abilities are too strong. Not concerning, just gaming vocabulary. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
