I have a toon named Miss Giggles and she just reached the Brrrgh. Her gags are lvl 5 throw, 4 squirt, 3 lure and 2 toonup and sound. Do I need higher gags for the Brrrgh or am I ok? Also which do I chose for my next gag choice, trap or drop? I am thinking of going dropless
I personally do not like being dropless (my main is trapless, my alt dropless) but that is opinion. Either one really is not useful until maxed out however. There is no need for max gags, but always get them as high as you can. I like to pick animation frames for cogs or buildings, since I can do invasion 5 stories to train gags AND do buildings at the same time. If I were you, my gags would be higher simply because I can't stand having low gags in a high area (from already having someone with maxed gags, ya know ) I'd say that toonup should be level 4 - you can easily get loads of points by training on the last floor of an invasion 5 story building (Even a level 2 gets 12 points per use ) and level 4 is where it starts to get useful. I hate to see toons in 5 stories using megaphones to heal toons who took over 40 damage. Lure, Throw, and Squirt are all super easy to train so get them as high as possible Sound should be at least level 4 to make factories easier. Your gags are about average for what I've seen for people coming out of MML, which sadly means that most don't train enough. Basically, I would say you don't NEED to train before starting the brrgh but try to integrate training into your tasks. By starting DDL you should have Level 4/5 toonup, Level 5 Lure, Level 6 Throw/Squirt, and Level 5 sound and Level 1 Drop/Lure at the least.
At least one maxed, and at least one other level 6, the others should be near enough. But then again, I'm keen for training
I would say try to have everything at least level 6 (you don't need to be maxed). But personally, I maxed all my existing tracks before I reached The Brrrgh just because, especially lure because when you get to Lil Oldman, you're going to need the best lure you can get.
There isn't a definite point at which your gags should be, except that you should have a cream pie. You may need to go back to lower playgrounds and work them in invasion districts, before you start, and as you work your way through the lil old man tasks. By the end, you should be maxing some of the earlier gags. I've just gotten my spoon, have pixie dust, $10 bill, wedding cake, fire hose, and elephant horn, and will be working on my sound gags.
I forget about Cog but for my more recent toon Atta Bea Training I had all but TU maxed (throw, squirt, lure, and drop all maxed w/ lvl 3 tu)
I suggest you go in with the big magnet if you have lure and whole cream pie, maybe lipstick if you have tu. I feel that the Brrrg! is a fantastic place to train gags with tasks giving you such an opportunity. In the scheme of things not aggressively training gags that are already in fine shape like your whole cream pie may save time then if you decide to try to max them as soon as possible. It all depends how soon you want to do bosses really.
I would recommend being trapless as drop gets a lot more usage verses trap and you can implement drop into a lot of different strategies. Though personally I would say your gags aren't great as I would recommend having all lvl 5 gags by the end of MML before starting the brrrgh so you can work towards lvl 6s during the brrrgh and hopefully have a few lvl 6s and maybe even a maxed gag to take with you to DDL.
I would recommend maxed gags. The toon that I am working had maxed gags before starting lil old man. There are some big cogs. and maxed gags help soloing better.
Get Throw and Squirt to at least level 6... everything else can be level 4 or 5. With some of the tasks you have to do, level 6/maxed gags come in extremely handy. I, myself, like others like to train so that I'm able to complete tasks with no one else's help. I went into the Brrrgh with Throw/Squirt/Lure/Sound maxed
I don't care what your gags look like as long you A: Know what you're doing and B: Have maxed throw and squirt by the time you VP By the time you CFO you really should have all gags maxed, because it's not hard to do.
