Case Manager

The **Case Manager** is a Lawbot Manager Boss who was introduced in the v1.2.0 update. He can be found in the Overclocked C.L.O. boss battle. His first appearance was in Corporate Clash's 9th comic: Hired Help

The Case Manager is a member of The Litigation Team. He specializes in healing Cogs and binding Toons into taking damage over time.

## Cheats

The Case Manager can only be lured for 2 rounds.

Every two rounds (or as soon as he wakes up from Lure), the Case Manager will wrap one Toon into a legal binding, forcing them to take **20 damage for Two Rounds**. A new Legal Binding can stack in time with the old one if it managed to hit the same Toon. Legally bound Toons will have a maroon roll of tape on their right wrist. This cheat cannot miss.

The Case Manager will throw an insurance paper at himself and up to two random Cogs, granting them the Insurance Status Effect. Cogs with Insurance are granted 2 rounds of Lure Resistance, standard Manager benefits (immunity to Cease & Desists and Pink Slips), and will heal 50 HP every round. Healing can cause Overcharge (more explained below) with a maximum overheal of 100% the Cog's original HP. Cogs that have been Sued and receive Insurance will have the Sued effect removed, and Cogs that have been Lured for more than two rounds will have that effect reduced to two rounds. He will periodically shift the insurance paper to somebody else after two rounds (or if he is Lured, as soon as he wakes up). Cogs with insurance will have green sparkles floating around their feet.

While normally impossible, the Scapegoat's synergy with this cheat (explained below) shows that this status effect can stack in duration.

Once Cogs overheal by 50% their original HP, they will become Overcharged. Overcharged Cogs deal **50% more damage** and can only be lured for **2 rounds**. They will also receive standard Manager benefits (immunity to Sues and Fires).

This cheat will trigger once the Case Manager is the last Manager standing on his side. It will increase the Case Manager's Lure Resistance by 1 round and make him deal 40% more damage.

## Manager Synergy Cheats

The Litigation Team has unique benefits where different pairing of managers can completely alter how some cheats and its bonuses function.

* All Cogs that join will instantly be hooked on the Insurance Plan for two rounds.

**When paired with the Stenographer:**

* Once the Legally Bound Status Effect wears off on any Toon, the Stenographer will use Court Sanction on that Toon, dealing 25 damage and reducing Gag effectiveness by 25%.

**When paired with the Scapegoat:**

* When the Scapegoat enters his Enraged Mode, the Case Manager will apply a second pair of Legal Bindings to another Toon. When the Scapegoat puts his Shields Up, the Case Manager applies a second pair of Insurance Plan to other Cogs.
