Ok, in my opinion, with those gags you are marginal for doing a mint. You need a good all-cog lure and you need to be able to heal serious damage on all toons. This is because the team seldom has the opportunity to let more than one toon take time off from the attack. In addition, most toons are running the mints for cogbucks and want to get through quickly. Here is my suggestion. Get a friend, hopefully a True Friend. Somehow get into Nutty River so there is an invasion going on. Pick out a four story bldg in the Brggghhh, but not Polar Place...the cogs in there get mean sometimes. Blow through the first two floors as quickly as possible. Third and fourth floors multiply the points you get for each gag use, and those are doubled for invasions. Now, on the third floor start to "work" a previously agreed on gag. Some gags work well together for that, like lure and sound and toon-up. You lure the cogs, have your buddy annoy one with some small gag, you pass and your buddy gets hit. Heal him with your second best toon-up as he annoys the cog again. You get the same points no matter if you are healing for 1 LL or 20 LL. When it is time for the cogs to unlure sound them, then when their attack is over, lure them again and heal each other. Keep this up as you work your way through the third floor. Watch the points you get for each gag selection, when you see it decrease and drop to zero you have maxed the increase for this building and that gag (+200 is all you can get). When you get to the top floor, start using your top gags for the same kind of stuff. For toon-up, we often wipe out all the cogs but one big guy. The support team goes in with really tiny gags and annoy the big cog while you busily heal them. You usually won't get attacked if all you are doing is toon-up. Developing drop is tougher. If you go after big cogs with small drop they will miss a lot. But you get the idea I hope. You play the cogs for suckers and max your gags. But like I said, you really need a TF to be your support team. Good planning (gag purchase) and good communication are critical. You can easliy get 30 points per gag hit in many cases. Once you get the four story methods down, move up to five story. Once you realize you are tougher than the cogs, this whole thing gets easy and becomes fun. And I think mints are the second worse places to train gags (first is boss battles). Good luck.
