Kind of a tough choice for me. So far, I've maxed drop on two toons and trap on two others in a relatively short amount of time (I think). With my first toon, I thought that drop was the hardest. Maxing drop on my puppy was almost a surprise, I wasn't in a hurry and I wasn't keeping track of how many more skill credits I needed (sort of a shock in itself, hehe).

Anyway, from the people here and my own observations, I learned about which types cogs are "good" to drop on and that it is definitely a good idea to "stun" them first with throw, squirt and sound (try to lure them first though if you can) It's also helpful to drop on a cog that someone has trapped. Just make sure that they are using a trap gag that is a little bit too weak for the cog (like marbles on a level 5 for instance, then a heavy weight or a safe should finish the cog off) thus leaving you something to drop on! Quicksand wouldn't be ideal in that situation since trap destroys one level higher and your drop won't be necessary (i.e., level 4 trap would destroy level 5 cogs - IF you have trapdoor).

The following gags are easy for me to train ON PURPOSE: Trap, Sound, Throw, Squirt and Drop.

Toon Up is the hardest if you are TRYING to get a good chunk of credits or max it. In other words, if you are going to "play" with the cogs, like continuously clicking pass until your teammates get hit (preferrably friends, because randoms usually aren't going to let this happen before they kill off the cogs). I've noticed that when I'm trying to get my 200 skill credits worth from a building my toons or my friend's toons have this irritating habit of not cooperating.

You will know that you've reached 200 credits when the gag background turns that sickly green color or if you look to the right as you run your mouse over any gag that SHOULD ordinarily give you skill credits, it will say "Skill Credit: None" in red.

They dodge the cog attacks 8 times out of 10! Or the cogs attack YOU instead. In any case, it is most time consuming. So I chose toon up as the hardest.
