Lure

Lure is a gag track that is available once a Toon completes their assigned ToonTasks when selecting the track for training. Using Lure gags on Cogs causes them to become stunned for a set number of battle rounds, preventing them from performing their attacks during those rounds. Additionally, Throw and Squirt gags receive a 50% damage bonus against lured Cogs which are guaranteed to hit, Drop gags always miss on lured Cogs, and Trap gags placed in front of Cogs beforehand activate and deal damage once they are lured. Using multiple Lure gags simultaneously increases the accuracy. Lure gags are the third set of gags used during Cog battles.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

• Lure gags prevent Cogs from attacking for a certain number of rounds.
• Lure gags allow Throw and Squirt gags to deal bonus damage against lured Cogs.
• Lure gags are useful for activating Trap gags.
• The base accuracy for Lure gags increases when they are organic.
• Presentation lures Cogs for 8 rounds and has the highest base accuracy and organic base accuracy, making it quite a useful level 7 Lure gag.

Disadvantages

• Lured Cogs are awakened by Sound gags without a damage bonus.
• Lured Cogs cannot be damaged by Drop gags, as they always miss.
• Lure gags do not yield skill points if lured Cogs are not damaged.
  • For group Lure gags, at least one Cog that was lured by the gag must be damaged before the Lure effect expires to earn skill points.

Trivia

• When there is a mixed set of lured and un-lured Cogs present in battle, the base accuracy of Sound gags and level 7 gags still increase by using a formula called luredRatio; however, they are not guaranteed to hit.
• Since Toontown Online, there was a longstanding bug associated with Lure where the damage bonus for Throw and Squirt gags did not always apply properly, thus preventing Cog knockback animation from working. It was then fixed by Toontown Rewritten in the "Toontown Tweaks" update that was released on February 1, 2015.
• Even though saying "glue" does not increase the base accuracy of Lure gags, it remains as a common superstition that dates back to Toontown Online.
