Abilities
The Hockey Mask comes with Ink Recovery Up as the primary ability. As a 3-star item, the Hockey Mask comes with three additional slots for secondary abilities. Since it is made by the SquidForce gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Ink Resistance Up and a lower chance of rolling Ink Saver (Main) to fill its secondary ability slots.

Trivia
- The mask and its relation to Halloween are a reference to the "Friday the 13th" franchise, as its main villain, Jason Voorhees, wears an identical mask.
- The Japanese name for this gear intentionally does not use the kanji 仮面 for the word "mask", since it is a homophone for a certain type of mackerel.
