Gear



Gear is the combined form of headgear, clothing, and shoes that Inklings can wear.

Three Shops in Inkopolis Plaza sell a respective type of gear:
 * Annie in Cooler Heads sells headgear.
 * Jelonzo in Jelly Fresh sells clothes.
 * Crusty Sean in Shrimp Kicks sells shoes.

All gear has abilities that improve the wearer's performance in battle. Each piece of gear has a rarity, represented by one to three stars. These indicate the number of sub ability slots it comes with, which are unlocked by battling and can be re-rolled by Spyke. Gear also has a brand that can have an effect on which sub abilities are likely or unlikely to be assigned.
