Paradigm Shift is a strong cog move that can be performed by The Mingler and Spin Doctors.

Paradigm is pronounced "per-a-dime" in English (US) or "par-a-dime" in English (UK).

Attack Animation

1. The cog wiggles its fingers forming yellow sparks to appear in a straight line.
2. The sparks gradually move towards the toon(s).

• If a toon is attacked, he/she will be lifted up by the sparks and shake in the air before being dropped to the ground.
• If a toon avoids the attack, he/she will jump over the attack causing the sparks to dissapear.

Definition

This term was popularized by The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), a book written by Thomas S. Kuhn (1922–1996), a philosopher of science.

Trivia

• Paradigm Shift is the most damaging cog attack, because The Mingler is capable of causing a maximum of 24 damage to a group of toons.
• There are other attacks which are also capable of causing a maximum of 24 damage, however these attacks only attack a single toon. Those attacks are Crunch and Evil Eye.
• A Spin Doctor performing this attack has a slightly higher average accuracy than The Mingler performing the attack.
