Abilities
The Faux Sharkskin Platfins come with Ink Resistance Up as the primary ability. As a 1-star item, the Faux Sharkskin Platfins come with two 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 to 2 stars will add another secondary ability slot for a total of three slots. 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 they are made by the amiibo gear brand, they have equal chances to roll any secondary ability.
