Treekiller

The **Treekiller** is a Cashbot Manager Boss who was introduced as part of the Hires & Heroes Update. He can be found roaming the streets of Acorn Acres. He was first revealed during the cogs.ink ARG.

## Content Sync

Toons fighting against the Treekiller will have Content Sync applied to them. They will be synced down to the following stats:

* 90 Laff Soft Cap (96 Max)
* All Gags permitted
* All rewards permitted

## Cheats

The Treekiller can only be Lured for 1 round.

At the beginning of odd numbered rounds, the Treekiller will roll a giant tree log and crush both other Cogs and Toons for 7 damage. For the rest of the round, all Toons in the fight get the Peeled Status Effect for 1 round, which makes them take 75% more damage from the Cogs. Cogs that get Peeled will have all negative Status Effects removed from them at the end of the turn and will unlure to attack once their turn comes around. Toons with the Peeled Status Effect will be turned into a tan color until the end of the round.

At the beginning of even numbered rounds, the Treekiller will throw some form of splintery wood at one Toon, giving them the Woodchipped Status Effect. A Woodchipped Toon will take 12 damage each round for 2 rounds. Peel the Bark will make the second round deal 21 damage, unless that cheat has not been activated due to the Treekiller's destruction in the same turn. This damage over time will persist even after all of the Cogs are defeated (before the victory screen).

## Strategy

The Treekiller's fight is very straightforward.

Toons can start by rushing down the Treekiller with either Lure + Throw or Squirt + Drop to get large damage in if 1 Cog or less is present. If 2 or more Cogs have joined the battle, Sound or Zap can be used to clear the Cogs to prevent them from taking advantage of the Peeled effect on the Toons. The other Toons should deal damage to the Treekiller and/or set him up for more damage from Prestige Drop and general increased accuracy on future turns. Peeling the Bark will unlure the Cogs, so group luring on odd-numbered turns is inadvisable. From there on, alternating between damaging the Treekiller on Woodchipper turns and using Toon-Up and Sound or Zap to kill additional Cogs on Peeling The Bark turns is a safe and reliable way to finish the rest of the fight.
