Gear ability
From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
Gear Abilities (or Abilities) are special attributes given to Gear.
Description
The amount of Abilities available for a given item is designated by its Star Count. The more stars in a piece of Gear's Star Count, the more Abilities it can possess. Up to four Abilities can be equipped per piece of Gear. After the first Ability, each successive Ability is random. Frequent usage of the same Gear generates more Abilities to equip.
Usage
Ability slots can be unlocked by giving Spyke a Super Sea Snail or they can be rerolled so that you may unlock a different set of abilities if you so desire.
