Abilities

The Black Polo comes with Recon as a main ability, which, being exclusive to the main slot of Clothing, prevents the wearer from also having Cold-Blooded, Haunt, or Ninja Squid. As a 1-star item, the Black Polo has one additional slot for secondary abilities. Since it is made by the Zekko brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Special Saver and a lower chance of rolling Special Charge Up to fill its secondary ability slot.
