Featherbedder

The **Featherbedder** is a Bossbot Manager Boss who was introduced as part of the Hires & Heroes Update. They can be found roaming the streets of Drowsy Dreamland. They were first revealed during the COGS.ink ARG.

## Content Sync

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

* 105 Laff Soft Cap (110 Max)
* All Gags permitted
* All rewards permitted

## Cheats

The Featherbedder increases the amount of Cogs that can appear in the fight by 1, totaling up to 5 Cogs in one sitting.

The Featherbedder can only be Lured for 2 rounds.

The Featherbedder receives less damage and deals more damage depending on the amount of additional Cogs present in the battle. The values are as follows:

* 15% less damage taken and 10% more damage given with 1 additional Cog.
* 30% less damage taken and 20% more damage given with 2 additional Cogs.
* 45% less damage taken and 30% more damage given with 3 additional Cogs.
* 60% less damage taken and 40% more damage given with 4 additional Cogs.

When a Cog joins the battle, they are equipped with a Power Nap status effect. This effect has a duration of 2 turns and does the following:

* Duration of 2 turns (right after the cog has joined) - -70% damage dealt and -80% damage taken
* Duration of 1 turn - -50% damage dealt and -60% damage taken
* If this effect expires naturally, the cog is healed to 3x their maximum health (not more than 500 healed). This automatically triggers Overcharge.

* **Well Rested** - Every napping Cog defeated will grant the Toons a +3 damage buff. Any previous uses of this buff does not re-apply to new or reoccurring Toons joining the battle, only the ones that were present when a napping Cog was defeated.

For every round that the Featherbedder remains as the only Cog in the fight, they apply a 25% damage resist to themselves. This can stack for 4 rounds in a row to receive a maximum amount of 100%. This buff loses one stack every turn while another cog is in the battle. Attacking the Featherbedder at 100% resistance still applies debuffs, but will deal no damage.

When Sound is used against Cogs under Power Nap, the Featherbedder will deal an extra attack per napping Cog. This cheat occurs even if said Cogs are destroyed by sound.

## Strategy

* Attack the Featherbedder immediately to get a lot of early damage in before Cogs start joining, as Peaceful Slumber will not activate until 2 turns of no additional Cogs.
* It is recommended to go Soundless and use Zap and Squirt as your main AoE gags. Insomnia causes Featherbedder to retaliate against Sound gags up to 4 times in one turn, which will quickly wipe your team.
	+ If a bunch of fresh (2 turn) Sleeping Cogs join your battle, you can group lure and have two/three Toons Soak the extra cogs to set up for a quadruple zap combo on the next turn, when they're significantly less tanky. If the zaps kill them all, no cogs will begin to join until the start of the Toons next turn, giving ample time to damage the Featherbedder while he is alone.
* The Overhire count applies for the entire turn. Even if you were to destroy 4 Cogs and attack the Featherbedder on the same turn, Gags used on on the Featherbedder will still deal 60% less damage, and the Featherbedder will still deal 40% more damage until the next turn.
* Lure and Throw combos on the Featherbedder can get stronger than drop combos, as Well Rested increases both Lure Knockback and Throw damage significantly.
* It is recommended to fight the Featherbedder on Lullaby Lane, as it is the only street in Drowsy Dreamland to not have Level 11s and it has a lower Executive chance than Twilight Terrace.
	+ Fighting Featherbedder at the end of the street allows for less Cogs to join the fight, but enough to where Peaceful Slumber cannot activate.
