IOUs are Boss Rewards that boost the effectiveness of Toons' Gags in battle. IOUs are obtained by defeating the Senior Vice President in Sellbot Headquarters. IOUs can be accessed in battle by clicking the IOUsTab.png IOU tab on the left of the battle menu.

You can view and delete IOUs from your Shtickerbook. Given that there is no realistic limit to how many IOUs a player can hold, it is not recommended to remove them. IOUs can be organized by uses, limit, and Gag Track. Players can also use the search bar to find specific IOUs, by searching either the Toon name, Gag Track, or boost effect.

How IOUs work

Functionality:

  • In battle, IOUs give a flat Gag damage bonus to yourself and one other Toon of your choosing. The IOU will boost a singular Gag Track, excluding the Rain IOU which boosts all Gags.
    • An IOU boosts the next 1-3 Gags from that Gag track, being consumed upon using a boosted Gag. Its duration is not round-based.
    • An IOU's damage boost and usages remaining are dependent on the IOU used.
    • Using an IOU takes up that Toon's turn in a battle (i.e. they cannot use an IOU and a Gag in the same turn).
  • Using an IOU can give the Toon a RewardCooldown.png Reward Cooldown depending on the IOU used (see table below).
    • Reward Cooldown prevents Toons from using any Boss Rewards while active.

Usage Cost:

  • Using an IOU consumes one of that specific IOU card.

Additional Info:

  • If two or more Toons use the exact same IOU, only one will be used and the other Toons will pass. IOU usage prioritizes Toons from right to left.
  • Using different IOUs of the same Gag Track on a single Toon will queue their effects. The higher damage IOU will go first, followed by the lower damage IOU once it expires.
  • An IOU cannot be used on a Toon if they do not have the necessary Gag track. However, the user of the IOU does not need to have the Gag track to use it.

Obtaining IOUs

Toons obtain IOUs by defeating the V.P.

  • 1 Rain IOU per V.P. defeated
  • 3 random IOUs per V.P. defeated (excluding Rain IOU)
    • +1 additional IOU per V.P. defeat from:
      • Surplus Sunday / Silly Saturday (10:00-12:00 AM/PM EST)
      • Sellbot Department Level 30
      • V.P. Reward Booster
      • Boss Reward Booster
      • All-Star Booster
  • Maximum IOU amount from a single V.P. defeat: 11 IOUs & 1 Rain IOU
  • IOU rewards are doubled (excluding Rain IOU) on November 27th to celebrate Pie in the Face Day, bringing the maximum up from 12 IOUs to 23 IOUs.

Strategy & Tips

Listed are some further clarifications of what each IOU does:

  • Toon-Up IOUs bonuses are split across each Toon healed if a group heal is used, rounded up.
    • e.g., 45 Bamboo Cane + 25 IOU = 70 Heal, 23.33 split across 3 = 24 Laff healed to each Toon.
  • Trap IOU bonuses are applied AFTER both the Prestige Trap and Executive damage bonus.
    • e.g., 120 Quicksand * 20% Prestige bonus (144) * 20% exe bonus (173) + 70 from Clerk Will IOU = 243.
  • Throw IOU bonuses affect the amount Prestige Throw heals.
  • Squirt IOU applies the flat damage to the splash damage alongside the base, which mean it can also be further boosted with Prestige Squirt.
    • e.g., +60 from Sharky Jones can allow the splash damage to reach +90 if Prestiged. If paired with Geyser, the base damage will be 180 while the splash damage will be 150.
  • Zap IOU bonuses affect each jump individually.
    • e.g., Broken TV 84-38-38 (or 84-76) with +25 Dentist Daniel becomes 109-63-63 (or 109-101).
  • Boosted Gags that miss do not consume any available IOUs.
  • As higher tier IOUs put the user on cooldown for 2 turns (the current turn and the turn after), using one can leave you vulnerable if used at an improper time. Be sure that it is safe to use an IOU, especially if Unites are available.

Undocumented Changes

  • Nerf IOU capacity reduced from ~4.2 billion to 999.

Trivia

  • An IOU is a document which acknowledges a debt. The term itself is a phonetic abbreviation of the phrase "I owe you."
  • IOUs replaced SOS Cards.
  • IOUs do not count as a stun for incoming Gags.
  • Previously, each IOU had a maximum capacity of up to 4.2 billion, which is the 32 integer limit. This was realistically impossible to reach due to how slow and randomized IOU drops are.
    • The current count is 999 of each.
  • IOUs were initially going to be only be able to be used on one Toon instead of two, as confirmed in the 1.3 QA patch notes.
    • This caused IOUs in the QA to be more powerful than anticipated, causing them to then nerf the power of most IOUs by 30% and Drop IOUs by about 50%.
  • Back when Toon-Up had only 95% accuracy, an exception to IOUs not applying to dodged Gags were applied to Toon-Up. Meaning that any missed Toon-Up Gags would've consumed the IOU.
  • When Rain's IOU is used, the arrows that appear around the chosen Toon will be purple during the turn she is called. Once the turn ends, the arrows will turn white.
