Logging Co." on Walnut Way in Acorn Acres after unlocking the Kudos Task I Saw What I Chain-Saw. He was first introduced in the Inside Your Department: Chip Revvington and the Deforester Force Blog Post on the Corporate Clash website that detailed into an ARG.

Cheats

General

• Cog Capacity is at 5 at all times.
• Grunt Cogs will fill up to this cap at the end of every round. Grunt Cogs do not spawn for the duration of Chain Link.
• Grunt Cogs are always Bossbots with a Level range of 10-15.
• Chance for a Grunt Cog to be executive in this fight is 25%.

The Chainsaw Consultant has a Lure Resistance of 1 round.

This meter is present at the beginning of the battle, starting at 10,000 RPM. The Chainsaw Consultant's cheats spend RPM, but they also require the RPM to be a certain amount in order to be available. Most also require a second condition to be met. Information about each individual cheat is explained in the table below.

• During Phase 1 and 2, RPM cannot go lower than 10,000 and higher than 20,000. During Phase 3, the minimum is still 10,000, but the maximum is instead 30,000.
• During Phase 1 and 3, the Chainsaw Consultant's normal attacks will have their damage boosted by 10% for every 1,000 RPM above 10,000. They will deal 20% more damage when at 12,000 RPM, 50% more damage when at 15,000 RPM, etc.
• During Phase 2, the Chainsaw Consultant will take 10% less damage for every 1,000 RPM below 15,000 and 10% more damage for every 1,000 RPM above 15,000.
• If multiple cheats are triggered, the cheat with the higher RPM requirement will be prioritized. In other words, cheat priority goes from top to bottom of the meter.
  • For example, if the RPM is high enough to allow Cut the Slack and Offboarding to be used, and triggers for both cheats are met, Cut the Slack will always trigger over Offboarding.

If any of the following conditions are met, the Chainsaw Consultant will gain RPM at the end of the round. These RPM gains are doubled in Phase 3.

• +1,000 RPM for every Gag that hits the Chainsaw Consultant (except Lure, if another Gag does not also attack with it).
• +1,000 RPM whenever all Cogs present are defeated (except on turn 1).
• Whipsaw Bonus: +2,000 RPM whenever the Chainsaw Consultant doesn't use a cheat during a turn (including turn 1). Whipsaw cannot happen two turns in a row. Whipsaw is replaced by Spark Plug in Phase 2.

When triggered, for 2 rounds, this debuff will cause the Chainsaw Consultant to:

• Take 10% more more damage if a level 20+ Cog was defeated, increased by 2% for every level above 20.
• Take 30% more damage when the last Chain Linked Cog is defeated, reduced by 5% per Cog that was Fired.
  • In the event that two Kick Back debuffs would happen at the same time, the stronger Kick Back debuff will overlap the weaker one.

This debuff disables the usage of Chain Link and Spark Plug for its duration, unless Chainsaw Consultant goes above 16,000 RPM, in which case Spark Plug can still trigger (see Scabbard below).

Phase Specific

The Chainsaw Consultant has 3 phases to his fight, each active during a certain HP threshold. Phase 1 begins at the start of the fight, Phase 2 begins at 8500 HP, and Phase 3 begins at 4750 HP. Each phase has its own set of cheats that will be used for the duration of the phase.

Cheat	Effect	RPM	Triggers
Deadwood	The Chainsaw Consultant will load all available Toons in cannons and REMOVE THEM FROM THE BATTLE. They cannot go back into the fight without starting a new one. Once fired, each Toon will be sent back to the foot of the Chainsaw Consultant’s office bearing their current Gags intact and leaving them at 1 Laff.	N/A	- RPM Meter reaches 20,000 or higher.
Offboarding	The Chainsaw Consultant will fire the highest level Cog (other than himself) at a Toon, destroying the Cog but dealing damage to the Toon based on the Cog’s level and current health. The RPM-based damage boost from Revved-Up does not increase the damage the Toon takes from this cheat, but the Vulnerable and Marked Wood effects do. Click For More Details The specific equation for determining the damage of a Cog fired from Offboarding is: (CogLevel * 3 * (CurrentHp/MaxHp)). If there are two or more Cogs are tied for highest level, the rightmost Cog is fired regardless of its current health. The Toon selected for this cheat is randomly decided unless this cheat is triggered through using a Pink Slip. If a Pink Slip is used, it always targets the Toon who used it, even if multiple Offboarding triggers are met.	Requires: 12,000 RPM Costs: 2,000 RPM	- If the Cogs survive an AOE attack that hits them (Squirt, Zap, Sound) - If a Cog is Fired. - If the Chainsaw Consultant is not attacked within 2 turns, unless a cheat with higher priority is triggered. - If a Cog promoted by Cut the Slack has been alive for 4 turns.
Cut the Slack	The Chainsaw Consultant will sacrifice all of the lowest level Cogs and promote the current highest level Cog to an even higher leveled Executive Cog, then give it 1-round Lure Resistance and immunity to Sues and Fires. The more Cogs sacrificed, the higher the level, capped at Level 30. Click For More Details Cogs that aren't Big Cheeses can break past their traditional level ranges. The level of the promoted Cog is calculated by the adding half of the total levels of the lesser Cogs to the highest Cog (rounded up). For example, if the fodders are Level 6, Level 9, and Level 10, the Level 10 becomes a Level 18.exe. If only 1 Cog is alive, Cut the Slack can promote it by 3 levels. However, if it cannot be promoted any further, Cut the Slack won't trigger. Defeating the promoted Cog will cause the Chainsaw Consultant to get Kick Back if the Cog was level 20 or higher, with the Kick Back value increasing by 2% for each level above 20.	Requires: 14,000 RPM Costs: 3,000 RPM	- 0, 2, or 3 Cogs are defeated. - A Cog is Sued (the sued Cog will be promoted).
Marked Wood	The Chainsaw Consultant will throw a log of wood at the most dangerous Toon (the Toon with the highest Laff at the beginning of the round, selecting whomever attacked him first that turn if there is a tie). The Toon hit by this cheat will be brought down to 33% of their max Laff (minimum 40 damage) and given a debuff that will cause the Chainsaw Consultant to deal 75% more damage to them on the following round. On the following round, he will attack whomever was the last one to hit him, but if no one attacks him, he will attack the marked Toon. Lure alone does not count as an attack that triggers Marked Wood. Click For More Details If a Trap Gag is the last Gag to hit the Chainsaw Consultant during this following round, the Chainsaw Consultant will target whomever lured him. If an IOU is used to trigger Marked Wood, the Chainsaw Consultant will target the Toon who used the IOU with the log of wood. If multiple IOUs are used, he will target whomever has the highest Laff. If multiple Toons use the same level of Gag as the last attack on the turn after Marked Wood, the Chainsaw Consultant will attack whomever struck him last.	Requires: 17,000 RPM Costs: 7,000 RPM	- Only one Toon attacks the Chainsaw Consultant. - All Toons attack the Chainsaw Consultant. - An IOU is used.

Cheat	Effect	RPM	Triggers
Throttle	At the beginning of Phase 2, the Toons will be squished by the cannons from an attempted Deadwood, losing 50% of their current Laff and receiving a 25% damage vulnerability effect that lasts 2 rounds. This cheat can be triggered again in Phase 2 if the Chainsaw Consultant is at 10,000 RPM, but instead each Toon will lose 50% of their maximum Laff. The phase transition Throttle cannot kill you unless under specific circumstances (being at 1-7, 9, 11, or 13 Laff). Most of them require a Toon to be Marked on the turn before.	Phase transition Throttle will always drop the RPM down to 10,000. Subsequent Throttles do not cost RPM.	- RPM Meter is at 10,000.
Spark Plug	The Chainsaw Consultant will zap the highest Laff Toon in that round, causing them to take 20 damage for 2 rounds. Spark Plug cannot activate two turns in a row or while Kick Back is active.	Costs: 2,000 RPM	- No other cheats can be used.
Aggrandize	The Chainsaw Consultant will promote a Cog to an Executive (if they aren't already), raise their level, grant them immunity to Fires and Sues (but no Lure Resistance, unlike Cut the Slack), and grant them an effect that makes them absorb 50% of all damage taken by the Chainsaw Consultant. Aggrandize can have repeated uses on a singular Cog. Click For More Details Any Cog below a Big Cheese will go up 2 levels; otherwise, Big Cheeses will go up 4 levels, capping at Level 25. Cogs previously promoted by Cut the Slack then promoted by Aggrandize will cap out at Level 33. The priority of Cogs to be promoted are non-Executive Cogs, then any Sued Cogs.	Requires: 13,000 RPM Costs: 3,000 RPM.	- Damaging a Cog without destroying it (promotes the strongest surviving Cog). - A Cog is Sued. - Spark Plug was used the previous turn. - Only one Cog is left remaining.
Chain Linked	The Chainsaw Consultant will link up all Cogs in the battle to each other, including himself. Each Cog will give all Cogs to their right a 25% damage resistance boost. Defeating all Chain Linked Cogs will cause the Chainsaw Consultant to gain 2 turns of 30% Kick Back. Unlike Marked Wood, Lure is counted as a hit when activating Chain Linked. Click For More Details No new Cogs will spawn into the battle when there are still linked Cogs present. While the Chainsaw Consultant is linked to other Cogs, he will not be able to gain any RPM. If the Chainsaw Consultant has Kick Back, he will not be able to use Chain Linked.	Requires: 15,000 RPM Costs: 2,000 RPM	- All Toons attack the Chainsaw Consultant. - All Cogs are destroyed in one round.
Scabbard	The Chainsaw Consultant will heal all Cogs for 50% of their max health. This cheat will Overcharge any Cogs that are already at full health. Click For More Details If there are less than 4 Cogs present when this cheat triggers, the ones that spawn on the turn after will automatically be granted the 50% heal and Overcharge. If Scabbard can be used, but prevented by killing a Cog, a different ability (Spark Plug or Aggrandize) will trigger even if normally it cannot trigger (f.e. because the Chainsaw Consultant currently has Kickback).	Requires: 17,000 RPM Costs: 7,000 RPM	- 0 Cogs are defeated. - Spark Plug was used the previous turn. - 2 or more Sued Cogs are present.

Cheat	Effect	RPM	Triggers
Layoffs	The Chainsaw Consultant will fire a number of Cogs equivalent to the number of Toons currently in battle, starting with the rightmost Cog and Toon and going from right to left. Only one Cog can be fired at each Toon. Like with Offboarding, the RPM-based damage boost from Revved-Up does not increase the damage the Toons take from this cheat, but the Vulnerable and Marked Wood effects do. The specific equation for determining the damage of a Cog fired compared to Offboarding is: (CogLevel * 4 * (CurrentHp/MaxHp)).	Requires: 20,000 RPM Costs: 7,000 - 10,000 RPM Cost scales depending on how many Cogs are fired: 7,000 with 1 Cog and +1,000 for each additional Cog fired.	- RPM Meter reaches 20,000 or higher.
Offboarding/Cut The Slack/Marked Wood	All 3 Cheats return in this phase. They function exactly the same as they did in Phase 1.

Strategy

Recommended Gags ‎
Track	"Should I bring this Gag to this fight?"	"Should I Prestige it?"	"How many Toons should bring it?"
Toon-Up	Very important for keeping you and your teammates alive. The Chainsaw Consultant is capable of outputting a ton of damage while at high RPM and when using abilities such as Marked Wood, Scabbard, and Layoffs. It can be too risky to rely on Unites and Prestige Throw for healing. Rating: 3/3 Stars	A good Prestige to take. The extra self-heal is nice, but the more important of the two perks of this Prestige is the extra round of Cheer. High accuracy strategies are especially important for this fight. Rating: 2/3 Stars	3-4 Toons
Trap	Trap has a wide range of uses for this fight. It's great for nuking a single Cog to prevent Cut the Slack, serves as good chip damage to the Chainsaw Consultant, increases the accuracy of Lure, and applies Dazed to the benefit of many gags. High accuracy strategies are especially important for this fight. Rating: 3/3 Stars	A great Prestige as it gets a lot of mileage considering how often Trap is used in this battle. Gives you a greater range of Cogs it can destroy to prevent Cut the Slack, often saving higher level Trap Gags to do so as well, and allows for much more chip damage to the Chainsaw Consultant over the course of the fight. Rating: 3/3 Stars	2-3 Toons
Lure	Crucial because of the sheer amount of damage from the Cogs it will prevent over the course of this battle. Also combines well with Throw as a method for reliable single target damage. High accuracy strategies are especially important for this fight. Rating: 3/3 Stars	A great Prestige to take. Allows for some extra damage to the Chainsaw Consultant during Lure and Throw turns, which may be important for getting him closer to certain health thresholds without having to expend higher level Throw Gags otherwise. Also better allows for Throw to be able to kill Lured cogs whenever needed. Rating: 3/3 Stars	2-3 Toons
Throw	A very strong and important main damage dealer, and is a good additional boon to Drop's damage due to the Marked effect. You will want both Throw and Drop for single target damage output. Having both means having a higher stock of single target damage options, meaning a higher overall damage potential as well. The former is safer as Lure + Throw relies on only one accuracy roll for the full damage, and if the Throw is Prestige, can also provide some self-heal on top of that. Rating: 3/3 Stars	As usual for Manager battles, Throw's Prestige is very useful for this fight, allowing you to deal reliable damage while having to spend less of other resources on healing, which matters especially in this battle as some abilities and strategies in this battle revolve around hitting the Chainsaw Consultant a specific number of times in a given turn. Rating: 3/3 Stars	4 Toons
Squirt	Important for the long-lasting defense debuff which can benefit many gags, and enables Zap for its purposes. High accuracy strategies are especially important for this fight. Rating: 3/3 Stars	May only be useful for niche strategies. Disregard this prestige otherwise. Rating: 1/3 Stars	2-4 Toons
Zap	Useful as a way to reliably trigger or prevent some cheats such as Marked Wood or Cut the Slack, consistently dispatch the first couple of Chain Linked Cogs, chunk out health from major threats created by Aggrandize, Cut the Slack, and Scabbard, and safely finish off the Chainsaw Consultant. Rating: 3/3 Stars	May only be useful for niche strategies. Disregard this prestige otherwise. Rating: 1/3 Stars	4 Toons
Sound	Useful in the hands of experienced players who know very well how the Chainsaw Consultant works and when best to use it. 4 Sound can cause RPM to spike high and doesn't immediately do a lot of damage to the Chainsaw Consultant who is almost always the primary target, making it very dangerous to use for players who don't know well how to manage RPM and when it can be used to trigger, prevent, or deal with certain cheats. Rating: 2/3 Stars	Useful for further boosting damage dealt on the following turn in the scenarios that Sound would be deemed an option for. Rating: 2/3 Stars	0 or 4 Toons
Drop	While Drop's nature of individual rolls will not yield hyper-consistent results when trying to trigger or avoid specific scenarios in this battle, it is still highly valued for its immense damage potential with proper planning and setup, especially when Prestige. You will want both Throw and Drop for single target damage output. Having both means having a higher stock of single target damage options, meaning higher overall damage potential as well. Drop also makes for the best Gag for taking advantage of Kickback. Rating: 3/3 Stars	Highly important for greatly boosting Drop's damage output considering the wide variety of debuffs the Chainsaw Consultant could have on him throughout the fight. Rating: 3/3 Stars	4 Toons

Control of RPM and cheats almost entirely hinges on gags hitting, and some cheats (namely Marked Wood and Chain Linked) are even dependent on gags hitting a specific number of times. Keep a steady flow of accuracy buffs going throughout the fight to ensure things go as smoothly as possible.

• Focus on attacking the Chainsaw Consultant primarily using single target combos like Squirt + Drop, Trap + Drop and Lure + Throw. Things to be wary of:
  • 14,000+ RPM: Kill only 1 Cog to prevent Cut the Slack. If the RPM is 17,000+, triggering Marked Wood also works to prevent Cut the Slack. Lure/Trap or Squirt/Zap are typically used to achieve this.
    • If Cut the Slack triggers, unless you have a specific plan involving Kick Back in mind, do not let the promoted Cog linger into Phase 2. Fire another Cog (the promoted Cogs are immune) or damage one using the AoE Gag trigger to get the promoted Cog Offboarded. Be careful to not accidentally trigger another Cut the Slack or Marked Wood instead if the RPM is in range of them.
  • 17,000-19,000 RPM: Either have all Toons attack him, 1 Toon attack him, or use an IOU to force out Marked Wood. This cheat can be dangerous but it is very manipulatable (see table of Cheats above) and drains a huge amount of RPM. Squirt + 3 Zap or Throw/Squirt + 3 Drop are good options for the all-Toons-hit trigger.
    • Note: Lure does not count as an attack towards Marked Wood.
  • 20,000 RPM: Prevent him from reaching 20,000 RPM at all costs. If this happens, attempt to get the Chainsaw Consultant to 8,500 HP or lower to get Phase 2 to happen instead.

• Continue focusing Chainsaw to get his RPM to 15,000-16,000 RPM to force out his Chain Linked cheat. The easiest way to activate Chain Linked is to hit him 4 times; Squirt + 3 Zap or Lure + 3 Throw are good ways to accomplish this.
  • Chain Linked: Kill cogs from left to right (usually this is done with Squirt/Zap) until all supporting Cogs are defeated. If the RPM is 13,000+, you need to completely kill every Cog you attack and not leave only 1 Cog alive or Aggrandize will trigger.
  • Kick Back: Defeating the last linked Cog will activate Kick Back on the Chainsaw Consultant. Once Kick Back is activated, use heavy single-target combos on the Chainsaw Consultant like Lure + Throw and Throw + Drop to make the most of the 30% damage vulnerability.

• Continue attacking Chainsaw until he dies. Don't worry about preventing the RPM from hitting 20,000+ in this phase that much; it's normal to happen due to the doubled RPM gains.
  • 14,000-19,000 RPM: Kill only 1 Cog to prevent Cut the Slack. If the RPM is 17,000+, triggering Marked Wood also works to prevent Cut the Slack. Lure/Trap or Squirt/Zap are typically used to achieve this.
  • 20,000+ RPM: The Chainsaw Consultant will use Layoffs no matter what (unless there are no Cogs to fire). You are better off just tanking the damage to let the RPM sink. If any Toons are in danger, damage their matching Cog so Layoffs deals less damage to them and/or heal that Toon to put them out of danger. (Note: Marked Wood increases damage taken here).
    • Remember that Layoffs targeting goes from right to left, matching rightmost Cog to rightmost Toon.
    • Layoffs damage equation: (CogLevel * 4 * (CurrentHp/MaxHp)).

• Fixed several issues with the Chainsaw Consultant battle.
  • One issue was that phasing the Chainsaw Consultant during the Chain Link process, it would “break” the remaining fight until he was defeated.
    • The Chainsaw Consultant could not rev up at ALL, meaning he was stuck directly at 10k RPM and had no initial way of using any cheats he had available.
  • The Chainsaw Consultant could gain RPM after using the cheat Chain Link. This was done by killing all of the Cogs on the field and damaging him at the same time.

Trivia

• A chainsaw consultant is an outside person or company brought in to conduct lay-offs to another company, if they are unable to do the job themselves.
• The Chainsaw Consultant's last name appears to be a pun of "Remington", which so happens to be a company developing chainsaws alongside other outdoor power tools.
  • This could also be a reference to the font "VT Portable Remington," which is the typeface used in Cog speech.
• On the cogs.ink website, the Chainsaw Consultant's username is revvingtonchip and his password is youcantfireme
  • The password was revealed by firing a Flunky (with its fired dialogue being Caesar shifted by 13), then taking the 14 characters from Chip's full name and applying it to the Flunky's sentence. The username was revealed through prior knowledge of the Chainsaw Consultant's real name.
• The Chainsaw Consultant is the longest working hire of the 16 new Regional Managers, having been hired 19 months ago at the time of the cogs.ink ARG.
  • However, he was given the Regional Manager position only a little over a month ago at the time of the ARG.
• When Zapping the Chainsaw Consultant, one can see his chainsaw apparatus as his entire Skelecog head.
• One of his possible debuffs, 'Kick Back', is named after a chainsaw operation term.
  • Since it's spelled 'kick back' and not 'kickback,' it also seems to reference the opening theme for the anime Chainsaw Man.
• Deadwood's cheat description is perhaps the longest out of every cheat present in the game. It is also the only one where it can clip outside of the player's computer screen (assuming 1920x1080 standards).
• This is the only Regional Manager that does not always teleport you to the Playground. If you have won the fight or you were hit with Deadwood, then you are sent back to his lobby.
• The two light bulbs on the Chainsaw Consultant’s hat are not present on his debut blog, nor on his profile picture on cogs.ink.
• The Chainsaw Consultant and the Treekiller were good friends before being hired at C.O.G.S. Inc. and have a brotherly relationship.
• Attempting to access this Manager's fight without meeting the Kudos rank requirements will result in the following message: "You hear cannons inside, but not the good kind. As well as... a chainsaw? It probably isn't a good idea to barge into here."
• It is entirely possible to bypass Phase 3 while still in Phase 2. Doing so will skip Phase 3's introduction cutscene and proceed through the fight's ending cutscene as normal.
• According to the April Toons 2023 ARG, the Chainsaw Consultant has a secretary, making him the only non-Boss Cog with one.
  • This may not be true, considering the High Roller isn't canon, and the April Toons 2023 ARG was made for the High Roller.
• According to former Clash Crew member Mailman, the Chainsaw Consultant was originally envisioned to have a Skelecog body.
