Cease & Desists, also known as Sues, are Boss Rewards that prevent a Cog from attacking. Cease & Desists are obtained by defeating the Chief Legal Officer in Lawbot Headquarters. Cease & Desists can be used in battle by clicking the "Sue" icon on the left side of the battle menu. Toons can view how many Cease & Desists they have on the Gags information panel of the Gag menu.

How Cease & Desists work

Functionality:

  • Using a Cease & Desist on a Cog will apply the Sued.pngsued debuff, preventing the Cog from attacking.
    • The sued debuff will last 4 rounds (includes the round the C&D is used).
    • Each Gag that damages this Cog will increase the debuff's duration by +1 round, capping at 4 rounds at any given time.
  • Using a Cease & Desist will give the Toon a RewardCooldown.png Reward Cooldown lasting 2 rounds.
    • Reward Cooldown prevents Toons from using any Boss Rewards while active.

Usage Cost:

  • Suing a Cog requires 1/4 of the Cog's level in Cease & Desists rounded up to the nearest integer.
    • For example, suing a Level 12 Cog will consume 3 Cease & Desists.

Exceptions:

  • The sue debuff's duration is affected by Status Effects with debuff resistances.
    • For example, a sued Skelecog will be sued for and has a cap of 3 rounds.
  • Virtual Skelecogs will only remain sued during the turn the Cease & Desist is used, unless damaged by a Gag in the same turn. Doing so will set the Cease & Desist debuff to 2 rounds on the next turn.
    • The maximum number of rounds the sue debuff can have on Virtual Skelecogs at any given time is 2 rounds.
  • Manager Bosses are completely immune to Cease & Desists. Some Managers have specific cheats meant to prevent weaker Cogs from being sued as well.
    • Failing to sue a Cog will not consume any Cease & Desists.
