Scapegoat

The **Scapegoat** 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 Scapegoat is a member of The Litigation Team. He is able to take damage that is meant for other Cogs, alongside building up rage in order to deal more damage.

## Cheats

The Scapegoat can only be lured for 2 rounds.

The Scapegoat will take 30% of all intended damage and redirect it towards himself. This can happen even when Lured, but it will not cause him to Unlure.

The Scapegoats passive ability, Rage, is a percent value ranging from 0-100%. Once built to 100%, he will enter an **Enraged** state.

Building Rage: (The following are not exact values, and are simply noted from gameplay based on approximation (~))

1. Passive rage: Gains +10% Rage a Turn
2. Attacking the Scapegoat: ~ Every 1 point of damage is .1 rage. (Example, 100 damage is +10% rage)
3. Luring the Scapegoat: +15% Rage
4. Soaking the Scapegoat +15% Rage
5. Firing other Cogs: +20% Rage
6. Suing other Cogs: +15% Rage
7. Ignoring the Scapegoat: ~ +15 Rage (Attacking other Cogs that are not him)

Once his rage builds up to 100%, he will stop absorbing damage from other Cogs and will **deal 30% more damage and take 30% less damage for Two Rounds.** The Scapegoat's Lure Resistance will increase by 1 while Enraged. Activating this cheat while Lured will simply unlure him, but he will not attack. Flames will rise from his feet and surround his body.

After the two rounds of Enraged are up, the Scapegoat will cool down and returns back to protecting Cogs.

This cheat will trigger once the Scapegoat is the last Manager standing on his side. The Scapegoat now deals 40% more damage and has a Lure Resistance of 1 Round. While Enraged, he has complete Lure Immunity and lacks the 30% damage reduction that a regular Enraged mode has.

## Manager Synergy Cheats

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

* When the Scapegoat puts his Shields Up, the Litigator will use a Bayou Bash. This can stack with his regular Bayou Bash cheat, which forces a Bayou Bellow cheat.

**When paired with the Stenographer:**

* While the Scapegoat is Enraged, the Stenographer will ban 2 Gag levels instead of a singular one.

**When paired with the Case Manager:**

* When the Scapegoat is Enraged, the Case Manager will apply a pair of Legal Bindings to a Toon. When the Scapegoat's temper cools, the Case Manager will give Insurance to a Cog.
