Hey guys,

I like to style my inkling, although I'm worried about having to pick between style and function. I currently am wearing a Squidmark LS (Long sleeved grey shirt) and its main ability is haunt which I like. One thing I'd like to know is that for every Squidmark LS, will haunt always be the main ability or can the main ability be random so I can find a Squidmark LS with say Run speed up human version?

Does the "main" ability have more power compared to the same type of ability being in a sub slot instead? So like if Ink Saver Main was a main ability, compared to someone else having Ink Saver Main being in a sub slot somewhere, assuming both players only have that ability once each would the player with it as their main ability save more ink compared to a player who only had it in a sub slot?

In regards to the number of sub abilities a piece of gear can have. I know items have star counts but are they consistent between what type of item it is? What I mean by this is for example the Squidmark LS I found in a shop and its a one star item, so it has one extra ability slot beyond the main ability. Will all "regular" instances of any Squidmark LS I find only be 1 star with going to spyke to upgrade it or special ordering it in from another player who has already upgraded it themselves via spyke the only way to get more slots or would I be able to randomly find a Squidmark LS in a shop with 3 stars?

Hopefully that makes sense, thanks!

Pick style always. You can add more perks later and reset them also once you've reached the level cap I believe. :)

You can't change the main perk. The main perk is the same on all Squidmark LS. Sorry man.

Main abilities give more than sub. Also I believe that main abilities+star/slot count is fixed. So that shirt you'll always find to be 1 star with that ability, unless you can order lower star count gear with slot upgrades. Really unsure about that.

Also try not to duplicate abilities on all your gear. From my understanding, trying to stack abilities makes them redundant. Coooould be wrong, but I remember Judd saying something about that.

Cool, I guess Ill have to work out what perks I need, what clothes I like and see what ticks both boxes. Shame you can't wear whatever and eventually grind to make it whatever with mains

Spyke can add slots and reroll sub abilities. Do we know how much better a main is compared to its sub version?

It produces diminishing returns yes, although people are still hard at work number crunching to see how the values stack up.
