Cheats

The Deep Diver has a Lure Resistance of 1 round.

The Deep Diver dives into the ground and cures all of her debuffs, with Toons not being able to damage her for as long as she stays underground. Trap Gags can still be placed down on her but another Cog must be present in battle to be allowed to use any Gags. This cheat occurs every round that the Deep Diver is not otherwise using Dive, unless a promoted Executive Cog was defeated during a previous Dive, in which case the cheat's activation will be delayed by 1 turn.

• Promotion - As a result of Dive, the Deep Diver will promote the closest Grunt Cog to her to an Executive Cog. Promoted Cogs will always be raised to Level 7.exe, even if they are a Cog that cannot normally reach this level (such as a Flunky).

• Drowning - As long as the Deep Diver stays underground, every Toon takes 5 damage each turn.

After destroying the promoted Cog (or after 1 round of Dive if there was never a Cog promoted), the Deep Diver will jump out of her Dive state and perform a grand slam, dealing 7 damage to all Toons.

Strategy

Recommended Gags ‎
Track	"Should I bring this Gag to this fight?"	"Should I Prestige it?"	"How many Toons should bring it?"
Toon-Up	With the low damage output from both side Cogs and the Deep Diver, Toon-Up isn't the most essential to bring in this fight (and can entirely be skipped out on should your team be capable of taking her down fast enough). Rating: 2/3 Stars	Has some good value due to the extra round of Cheer. The extra healing on self-heal also provides a nice bonus as it makes mitigating the relatively small damage output from the Deep Diver fairly easy to deal with. Rating: 2/3 Stars	1-2 Toons
Trap	Much less useful compared to other tracks in this fight. Can be used to effectively deal some damage to promoted Executives, but falls a bit short to more effective Lure/Throw and Squirt/Zap combos. Mostly good for dealing easy damage to the Deep Diver and giving a stun to Lure for when a Cog is about to be promoted. Rating: 1/3 Stars	Prestige Trap's damage boost is useful for dealing more damage to both the Deep Diver and the promoted Cog. Since the promoted Cog is always a Level 7.exe, a Prestige Springboard and a Prestige Bowling Ball are enough to kill them. Rating: 2/3 Stars	1 Toon
Lure	One of the most effective ways to deal with promoted Executives as it can Lure them prior to being promoted, allowing for an immediate guaranteed kill with 3 Throws. Rating: 3/3 Stars	Doesn't open up anything new for dealing with side Cogs. Only take this prestige if you intend on using Throw as a main damage dealer towards the Deep Diver. Rating: 1/3 Stars	1-4 Toons
Throw	A good damage dealer towards the Deep Diver, but mainly shines as one of the most effective ways of taking down promoted Executives. Rating: 3/3 Stars	Prestige Throw brings self-healing when hit on any Cog. Despite its inconsiderable self-heal amount, it is more useful to prestige Throw than Toon-Up due to the Prestige duality: Damage and healing. Rating: 2/3 Stars	3-4 Toons
Squirt	Highly recommended to carry this due to how useful Soak is in just about every fight in the game. Rating: 3/3 Stars	With the low Content Sync, this prestige has no value in this fight due to the extremely low increases in Splash damage. Rating: 0/3 Stars	1-2 Toons
Zap	One of the two most effective ways of dealing with side Cogs while the Deep Diver is submerged. 3 Broken Radios will more often than not be enough to completely wipe an entire set of Cogs. Can also be good for securing a kill on the Deep Diver while she's at low HP. Rating: 3/3 Stars	Due to the low Content Sync, this prestige provides little value due to the lacking damage increases and doesn't open up anything new. Only recommended if you intend on using Zap as a heavy damage dealer towards the Deep Diver. Rating: 0/3 Stars	2-4 Toons
Sound	Generally outshined by other means of dealing with side Cogs in this fight. Mainly effective if you choose to completely forgo allowing Cogs to promote as all Cogs can be taken down at once with this strategy. Rating: 1/3 Stars	Can be useful if you are following the strategy to not allow Cogs to promote as you will generally be using Sound much more and will need to deal much more damage in a single round as you will not be getting the extra round to hit the Deep Diver. Rating: 1/3 Stars	0 Toons/3-4 Toons
Drop	Highly recommended to bring this track to this fight due to the high damage output it has. Overall the best main source of damage towards the Deep Diver. Can be effective at dealing with promoted Executives, but it is outshined by other more effective means of dealing with them. Rating: 3/3 Stars	Can be effective at speeding up the fight, but is by no means required to take down the Deep Diver in a swift manner. Rating: 2/3 Stars	3-4 Toons

The Deep Diver has the potential to be a rather slow progressing fight, as Toons have to consistently deal with Dive and the possible promoted Cog in the process. All while attacking the Deep Diver outside of those rounds. There are two main ways to deal with the Deep Diver:

• The first strategy is to let one Cog into the fight and immediately Lure it on turns that the Deep Diver Dives. Doing so will allow for the promoted Executive to be destroyed with Throw and will make the Deep Diver come back up for another 2 turns.
• The second strategy is to attack the Deep Diver before any Cogs join the fight, halting the deadly potential of Drowning and Sink or Swim.
  • If done correctly, you are guaranteed to at least be hit for 12 damage, with an additional 7 more if hit by her Watercooler attack.

A very easy way to defeat the Deep Diver in 4 turns is as follows:

• Turn 1: Wait for a Cog to join the battle and then use a Prestige Springboard, a Small Magnet, and two Bowling Balls all on the Deep Diver.
• Turn 2: Use 3 Cream Pie Slices on the promoted Cog and a Megaphone. Prestige is highly recommended to make use of Cheer on the Megaphone.
• Turn 3: Use a Squirt Gun and 3 Bowling Balls on the Deep Diver.
• Turn 4: Use 3 Broken Radios on the Deep Diver.

Assuming all Gags hit the Deep Diver will be defeated by this point, leaving any remaining Cogs to be cleaned up.

Face-Off Taunts	"I'm not so shore you know what you're getting into." "Let's dive right into this, shall we?" "You're getting into deep waters, Toon." "This battle will throw you off the deep end."
Defeated	"I'm not giving into your pier pressure, I'm out." "I'm jumping ship! I'd rather not get stuck at sea again!" "I think I'm done testing the waters, this isn't for me." "I'd rather not have you anchor me down any longer."
Death Taunts	"Your skills are abyssmal." "Well, that performance was subpar." "Fighting me was a sunk cost, Toon!" "You can't handle the pressure!"
Friend Request Denials	The Deep Diver waves her hands dismissively: "You're too shallow for my taste." The Deep Diver cringes: "You're way below my standards." The Deep Diver shoos you away: "I'm not looking for a dive buddy." The Deep Diver gapes in bewilderment: "You've gone off the deep end."
Attempt to Sue	"What? No! I'll never seas!"
Attempt to Fire	"Fired? Hmph, I'm more of a water Suit myself."

• The Deep Diver's employee ID is a reference to the depth of the Mariana Trench which is 11,034 meters deep.

  • He had also mentioned that the Deep Diver has been having problems with the Treekiller due to his lack of compassion towards the environment.
