[The Beautiful Letdown]

This thread is to help noobs understand strategy better,because i've been playing with toons that are 90 laff and play like 30 laffers(thats not everyone), this is for toons in a CFO,VP,or anything else that don't know what to do.
Don't turn this thread into an argument if you want me to add something just tell me..I'm gonna just explain somethings about the gags and cogs.

Toon up- Well there isn't much to say about toon up,but when someone needs a toon up always give it to them, never leave them hanging.

Trap-Don't use little trap gags such as sand,marbles,or bannana peels on big cogs, if you have trap door use it on a lvl 6 or 7 with help. If your tnt is MAXED use it on 11's or 12's with help, If your tnt is NOT maxed use it on 8,9, or 10 (if it can kill a 10 yet).Organic Trap can kill lvl 12's by itself.

Lure-Use lure when they're mostly big cogs like all 12's
sometimes people might want to sound instead, use hypno, and if you run out use big magnet.

Sound-When there are all lvl 8's in a cog group you don't need any fog horns, only elephants, but if there are lvl 9's or 10's you need one fog,if there are lvl 11's use 2 fogs,and if there are 12's use 3 fogs, you only need 2 eles and one fog for lvl 9's. and of course don't use sound on lured cogs lol

Cake-Maxed cake can kill lvl 8 and by itself (and any lvl below that),lvl 9's by itself with lure, maxed cake can kill lvl 10 cogs if lured and if jumped back, can kill lvl 11's with help, and can kill lvl 12's with help.Organic cake can kill 11's byitself


Rain-Maxed rain can kill lvl 7 or 8 by itself (and any lvl below that) and it can kill lvl 9 byitself with lure, can kill lvl 10s with help,and 11's with help if the cog jumps with lure, and 12's with help jumps with lure.

Drop-Don't use little drop gags on big cogs, you can use safe on lvl 6 cogs or below, Max piano kills lvl 11 by itself and lvl below that, kills lvl 12's with help.

might wnat to add a bit more like a maxed organic cake can take out a 9 and an 11 that is lured can be taken out with a maxed organic cake if there is a bonus... Also might want to include lvl 7 gags. Also keep adding more info to the guide...

[Deputy Butch Kookysocks]

yea like the above post ^ said, you should add organic gags and lvl 7s, but other than that i liked it a lot

Thats a nice guide.

I would add that when using lure, toons should hit already lured cogs first not the next one being lured. A rule of lure left and throw,squirt,drop etc on the righmost cog can get even low level toons through some very challenging places.

I would also suggest you include organic information now that we have the trees:

I know a TNT with organic bonus will destroy an 11 level cog and falls 2 points short of destroying a 12. So if someone is using TNT with bonus on a 12 I recommend using a low level throw squirt to finish it off.

I don't know exactly what the numbers are when using organic fog, squirt, throw, drop etc and how that would work in various situations. I suspect if at least one fog was bonused you may only need 2 fogs against a 12 but I can't verify that. Maybe someone else has that data and can provide it for all the other gags.

Finally we now have level 7 gags. IN some case toons shouldn't even bother to help if another in the group is using a level 7, in other cases like sound it will need help on the highest level cogs.

Thank you for taking the time to put together this guide for the new toons.

Just a quick note, a maxed Cloud can kill up a level 7 un-aided, since it does 80 points and a level 7 has 72 points. Level 8's, though, have 90 points, and a maxxed cloud isn't enough to kill them without help.
