The following is a list of all the abilities possible to be gained from threads. If an ability description starts with a character name, e.g, Neku: ATK +1 , this ability only activates if the thread is equipped on that specific character. Also, sometimes the ability specifically states that, for example, your partner must wear this thread in order for the effect to activate. These character restrictions are marked in the table below. If the cell is empty, it means the effect will activate regardless of who wears the thread.
Some types of abilities only appeared in the DS or Remix versions respectively. In the Remix versions, all defense boosts are applied to Neku regardless of who is wearing the thread.
