Abilities
The Brain Strainer comes with a random primary ability that can also appear as secondary abilities, which prevents the wearer from having Comeback, Last-Ditch Effort, Opening Gambit, or Tenacity as they are exclusive to Headgear and cannot appear as secondary abilities. This primary ability is assigned randomly when the item is received. As a 2-star item, the Brain Strainer comes with three additional slots for secondary abilities. The star level may be increased with Super Sea Snails for 1 (first), 1 (second), 5 (third), 10 (fourth), or 20 (fifth) Super Sea Snails per star. Increasing the star level beyond 2 stars will increase the gear experience gained by a cumulative 3.333…% up to 10% additional experience at 5-star level. Since it is made by the Grizzco gear brand, it has equal chances to roll any secondary ability.

Trivia
- This device resembles the Aura Video-Analyzer from the first Ghostbusters movie. It also bears a resemblance to the brain-wave analyzer first featured in Back to the Future, being one of 3 pieces of Grizzco headgear that potentially resemble costumes seen in the Back to the Future series, the others being the Lo-Vis Visor and the Bream-Brim Cap.
