Abilities

The Kyonshi Hat comes with Run Speed Up as the primary ability. As a 3-star item, the Kyonshi Hat 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.
