Drop without a doubt is the best gag out there. I dislike sound with a burning passion. Yet my TUless HAS to have it(groan). I dislike sound because evryone overrates it. for one extra round you can kill the same cogs with 4 birthday cakes on lured cogs. And EVERYONE can use throw. I don't understand what the big deal about sound is. It does the 2nd least damage, and who cares if you don't have it? Toontown gave you a choice for a reason! Its fast, but soundless is just as fast if you are smart about it. And with the new cog golf courses and the CEO, you are going to be using a lot of sound restocks i fyou want to sound your way through everything.

I can see how many here like lure. However having an uber I realize that it just misses too much. Drop and lure are supposed to have the same accuracy, but I find that when drop hits level 4, it hits a LOT. Lure is not that great of a choice for a sell uber because it is inaccurate and its not like any sell uber can have trap. But Lure can affect all cogs making it valuable. And if it does hit, then the cogs can't hit you. But for my uber, thats where I want a card, a sure fire hit. And there are other options that do what lure does, cogs miss, and toons hit. But niether of those give you knockback.

Trap is powerful, and unlike what Zippy says, it cannot be thrown wrong (it just means that the lurer doesn't have quality lure). You might think it would be easy to advance gags in because it can never miss, but many people do not take the time to lure. And if they do lure, it often misses. Maroon5dancer had a day on a now deleted toon, where her lure missed 10 times in a row. A few days later it hit around 10 times in a row. It is hard to train trap unless you and everyone else with you has lure. It is too streaky to count on to make trap work. But the organic TNT, kills a 12. Organic Railroad, kills a row of 12s.

Now, for my FAVORITE gag. Drop. It can kill a cog one level higher than its level when it hits level 3. The damage never goes up until the piano. Despite what people say, I find it to be quite accurate. Its usually when 2 toons use it that the accuracy seems to lower. Confused Since I have put drop on a tree, it seems to be more accurate (isn't that just a lure thing?) It is essential if you solo buildings.And the cards are pretty good. But barnacle Bessie is the only good one. Clumsy Ned drops safe pianos. My safe does more than his piano. However Moe Zart (or is it Sid Sonata) does MORE than a fog horn, normal or organic.

TU is a gag that you don't always need. But when the time comes, you want it with you. It is more important earlier on because toons have lower laff meters so they can take fewer hits. If someone has 137 laff and the lose40 they have 97. If someone has 50 laff and they lose 40 they have 10. Would you use a TU on someone wih 97 or someone with 10? Tuing the 97 would seem a waste of time. If they lose 30 more then would you (67laff)? You actually should because a pixie dust does 70 at max. Unless they are the only person besides you, no other TU will get them to full laff. I thought about the whole thing with toons needing TUs more when they have lower laff when I decided to turn my trapless into a sell uber. I figured other ubers are going to need TU and I have TU so I can be an uber .

Squirt is almost entirely usless. It has good accuracy, low low,low,low damage. And its best use is waking up cogs without making drop usless. The storm cloud is the equivalent of 2 cream pies.The storm cloud can kill an 8 with knockback, and a 7 without knockback. It is good to finish off cogs with, and the storm cloud fire hose combo is the best DA strategy yet that I have seen. Its not surprising that I haven't seen one person be happy about getting Sophie Squirt or a squirt unite. If I ever get a squirt unite, I am going to go to the gag shop and get rid of the excess waste.

Throw. Throw. Throw. This is a a gag that you want lure for. Knockback is awesome for this. A maxxed bday cake does 150 with knockback. Wedding cake + lure= -4 level11s. I'll put this in words. If someone lures the cogs and you use a wedding cake, it can take out a row of 11s with knockback which, tell me if I'm wrong, always gets knockback. 3 cream pies,1 lure, 1 level 11 cog. And the 11 is most likely gone! At one time I loved throw so much that I made a toon that would complete the game with a squirt gun and maxxed throw. Didn't happen. They didn't make it out of Melodyland. It was too darn annoying and pointless.

Sorry about making this so long. I was just making a pro and con list for each gag in my head and decided to put it on here.
