Anime Last Stand Tier List (December 2025) Best Units Ranked
Welcome to the most comprehensive Anime Last Stand tier list you’ll find anywhere! I’ve spent countless hours analyzing every unit…
Looking for the ultimate Cookie Run Kingdom tier list to dominate both PvE and PvP? With over 162 cookies available in 2025, choosing the right characters can make or break your team. This comprehensive ranking covers every cookie in the game, from SS-tier beasts to budget-friendly options, helping you build the strongest team possible for Kingdom Arena, World Exploration, and Guild Battles.
Before diving into the tier list, I need to explain how these rankings work. Unlike other tier lists that focus on a single game mode, my rankings consider:
Versatility Across Game Modes – Top-tier cookies excel in multiple areas including World Exploration (PvE), Kingdom Arena (PvP), Guild Battles, and Alliance events. Cookies that shine in only one mode rank lower.
Raw Power and Stats – Base attack, defense, HP, and special abilities matter significantly. Beast and Ancient cookies naturally have higher stats, but some Epic cookies can outperform them with proper investment.
Skill Impact – Skills that provide crowd control, massive damage, healing, or game-changing buffs/debuffs earn higher rankings. Cookies with long cooldowns or situational skills rank lower.
Accessibility and Investment – While Beast cookies are incredibly powerful, their low drop rates matter. I balance raw power with how easily you can obtain and upgrade a cookie.
Meta Relevance – The 2025 meta heavily favors cookies that counter current popular team compositions, especially in PvP where the meta shifts with each update.
Synergy Potential – Cookies that work well with multiple team compositions and enhance other cookies’ abilities rank higher than one-trick ponies.

Shadow Milk Cookie absolutely dominates the 2025 meta as the most powerful Beast cookie currently available. As a Magic-type character positioned in the middle, he deals absolutely devastating damage through his puppet-based skills centered on trickery and deception. What makes him truly broken is his revival mechanic – after being defeated, Shadow Milk resurrects with decent health, making the battlefield exponentially tougher for opponents. His puppets act as constant damage dealers, steadily chipping away enemy HP throughout the battle. In Kingdom Arena, he’s nearly unstoppable, and his PvE performance is equally impressive. I highly recommend building him with Swift Chocolate and Searing Raspberry toppings to maximize his already insane damage output and reduce cooldowns.
Silent Salt Cookie arrived as the final Beast cookie from the Ambush type and immediately became a must-have unit for both PvP and PvE content. His signature Lunar Slash skill can completely shake up opponent lineups with devastating ease. As a vanguard cookie, Silent Salt strategically targets enemies with the highest ATK one by one, delivering crushing damage that few can survive. His DMG Resist stats are incredibly high, making him surprisingly tanky for an Ambush-type cookie. In Kingdom Arena, he functions as both an assassin and a frontline disruptor, eliminating key threats before they can activate their skills. I’ve watched him single-handedly carry teams through difficult Guild Battle stages and clutch seemingly impossible PvP matches.
Among all the amazing abilities Eternal Sugar Cookie brings to the table, one standout power is her ability to shackle rivals in the warzone for extended periods, rendering them completely useless. This crowd control potential transforms her into an exceptional character for every game mode in Cookie Run Kingdom. Her support capabilities extend beyond just control – she provides meaningful buffs to allies while simultaneously debilitating enemies. In Kingdom Arena, Eternal Sugar can shut down entire team compositions by preventing key damage dealers from activating their skills. For Guild Battles, her control allows your team to safely focus down bosses without worrying about devastating counterattacks. Her versatility makes her one of the safest Beast cookie investments you can make.
If pure strength and explosive damage are what you’re after, Burning Spice Cookie represents the absolute best decision you could make for your team composition. With his Tyrant’s Wrath and Fire Pit abilities, players can unleash incredible Fire and Explosion damage on a regular basis, stacking on top of his already powerful normal attacks. His charge-type mechanics mean he positions in the front line, dealing damage while absorbing hits with surprisingly good survivability. Burning Spice excels in every game mode, from story progression to PvP domination. His synergy with Fire Spirit Cookie creates one of the most devastating combinations in the game, amplifying fire damage to absurd levels. Build him with Searing Raspberry, Swift Chocolate, or Solid Almond toppings depending on whether you need more damage or survivability.
Mystic Flour Cookie holds the crown as the absolute best healing cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom’s current meta. Through her intense skills, powerful base stats, and surprising damage-dealing abilities, Mystic Flour can handle pretty much anything thrown at her. Unlike traditional healers who only provide HP restoration, Mystic Flour brings crowd control, damage output, and defensive buffs to create a complete support package. Her healing scales incredibly well into late game, and she provides crucial sustain for both PvE progression and PvP endurance battles. In Kingdom Arena, she keeps your team alive through burst damage windows that would normally wipe less protected compositions. For Guild Battles, her sustained healing allows extended fights against tough bosses. I always recommend building her with Swift Chocolate toppings to reduce her skill cooldown and maximize healing uptime.
White Lily’s awakened form was released in the Catacombs of Silence update and immediately climbed to the top of the meta rankings. She functions as a Bomber cookie that utilizes the Grass element for her attacks, positioning herself in the middle row for maximum area coverage. With her bomber skill set, she can trap enemies in vines that prevent them from using attacks for crucial seconds, buying your team time to dominate. Beyond crowd control, she brings solid DPS and the ability to remove negative debuffs from your entire squad. Her awakened form significantly outperforms her base version, making her worth the investment for serious players. White Lily excels in both PvE story progression and PvP arena battles, adapting to whatever challenge you face.
Dark Cacao Cookie’s Dragon Lord awakened form is absolutely deadly – basically taking the insane power of his original format and doubling it. As a Charge cookie with Ancient+ rarity, he delivers premium tank abilities combined with exceptional damage output. His awakened skills grant him enhanced survivability, increased attack multipliers, and the ability to cleave through multiple enemies simultaneously. In Kingdom Arena, awakened Dark Cacao counters the current burst meta by surviving opening salvos and retaliating with devastating counterattacks. His synergy with other awakened Ancients creates nearly unstoppable team compositions. For Guild Battles, his sustained damage over lengthy boss fights makes him invaluable. Build him with Swift Chocolate, Solid Almond, or Searing Raspberry depending on whether your team needs more speed, tankiness, or damage.
Before diving into why awakened Golden Cheese Cookie is god-tier, I need to emphasize that her awakened form takes an already strong Ancient cookie and transforms her into an absolute powerhouse. What really makes Golden Cheese Cookie exceptional is her incredible versatility across all game modes. If you want immense damage output, team protection, and buffs to your allies all in one package, this is the cookie for you. She can deal explosive damage to enemies, shield allies from incoming attacks, absorb damage herself, and grant Knockback immunity to prevent disruption. Her kit removes enemy buffs while simultaneously dealing explosion damage that scales with her already high ATK stat. In Kingdom Arena, she functions as both a primary damage dealer and a defensive anchor, adapting to whatever your team needs.
Fire Spirit Cookie brings incredibly unique mechanics as a Super Epic Ambush-type cookie with revival capabilities. His Ever-Burning Flames Skill features Flame Explosion and Flame Orb with scorching-high ATK multipliers and DMG Resist Bypass that grow exponentially stronger for each Fire-type cookie included on your team. These abilities apply Explosive Burn and Weakness respectively, opening targets up to devastating additional Fire damage throughout extended fights. Fire Spirit grants Wall of Fire to all allies at battle start, providing a helpful HP Shield and DMG Resist to weather any opening attacks. Even when defeated, he can trigger his own Revive to return with full HP and a completely reset skill. Fire Hydras rise whenever any cookie on Fire Spirit’s team is defeated, attacking multiple targets and inflicting Burn with each hit.
Stormbringer Cookie represents one of the most overpowered additions to Cookie Run Kingdom, dealing massive damage while transferring that damage through the Inflicting Zap skill to chain between enemies. Beyond pure damage, Stormbringer pushes enemies backward with knockback effects, preventing them from reaching your vulnerable rear-line damage dealers. As a Charge-type Super Epic, Stormbringer combines frontline tankiness with explosive offensive capabilities. Her versatility shines in both PvE story progression and PvP arena battles where controlling enemy positioning proves crucial. In Guild Battles, her sustained damage and crowd control help teams survive longer against dangerous bosses. Build Stormbringer with Juicy Apple Jelly and Searing Raspberry toppings to maximize her ATK and CRIT potential for absolutely devastating damage combos.
Even as a Super Epic rarity cookie, Doughael has proven to be an incredibly reliable healer in Cookie Run Kingdom’s competitive meta. Whether it’s blocking attacks from rivals, clearing debuffs, increasing HP, or buffing crucial skills, Doughael handles everything with remarkable efficiency. This cookie’s unique mechanic involves picking one friend and increasing their ATK and DEF significantly. If that empowered teammate gets knocked out, Doughael absorbs those accumulated stats and passes them to the next cookie with even more amplified power. This stat transfer system creates a snowball effect where Doughael becomes progressively stronger throughout extended battles. In Kingdom Arena, this mechanic can turn losing positions into comeback victories. For Guild Battles, the sustained stat growth helps teams push through difficult DPS checks on tanky bosses.
Both versions of Hollyberry perform exceptionally well in PvE fights, however for PvP specifically, you absolutely want to prioritize Hollyberry Aegis. She’s a Defense cookie responsible for leading your group from the front, excelling at safeguarding your squad from critical hits, ultimate abilities, and debilitating debuffs. Hollyberry Aegis takes up her shield once more, reinforcing her team with even stronger Steel compared to her base form. The first hit of her skill behaves similarly to her original version but now follows up with a powerful shield slam dealing damage based on her colossal Max HP. She grants a full arsenal of defensive buffs including 45% DMG Focus, -35% DMG Dampening, -35% CRIT DMG Down, and +35% DMG Debuff Resist to the entire team. These powerful defensive buffs can be maintained perpetually if built correctly.
Crimson Coral Cookie functions as an incredible solo tank, simultaneously able to withstand massive amounts of incoming damage while protecting her team from a wide variety of debuffs that would normally cripple your composition. Her Somber Affection skill grants Resistance to DEF Reduction, DMG Down, CRIT DMG Down (all undispellable), plus Curse Protection that prevents devastating curses like Sign of the Stars from landing. The critical condition for using Crimson Coral effectively is that she absolutely must be run as the only Front cookie to receive all the powerful buffs she can earn through her Coral Armor mechanic. Running her solo on the front line grants massive damage resistance to all allies while she absorbs punishment meant for your damage dealers. In Kingdom Arena, properly built Crimson Coral tanks can frustrate opponents by surviving burst combinations that should wipe teams.
Agar Agar Cookie brings exceptional burst damage potential as a Super Epic Ambush-type cookie specializing in eliminating high-priority targets before they can impact battles. Her skill set focuses on dealing concentrated damage to single enemies, particularly excelling at taking down enemy healers and damage dealers positioned in the rear lines. In Kingdom Arena, Agar Agar functions as an assassin who can delete key opponents in the opening seconds of combat, creating immediate numerical advantages. Her damage scaling with ATK makes her benefit tremendously from ATK buffs provided by support cookies. For Guild Battles, she provides excellent single-target damage against bosses when paired with proper support. Build her with Juicy Apple Jelly and Searing Raspberry toppings to maximize critical damage potential and watch her eliminate enemies before they can react to your assault.
Wind Archer Cookie stands as the most recent addition to the Legendary rarity tier and represents by far the strongest Legendary currently available in Cookie Run Kingdom. Though not a direct counter to Shadow Milk, Wind Archer is one of the only cookies capable of somewhat competing with Beast cookies in terms of raw damage output, making him far less easily replaced than other Legendaries. His kit focuses on delivering enormous single-target damage that proves particularly useful in Alliance raids and boss fights where concentrated damage on single targets matters more than area attacks. Wind Archer’s skills feature high ATK multipliers with DMG Resist Bypass, allowing him to damage even the tankiest enemies. In Kingdom Arena, he functions as a backline sniper who eliminates key threats.
Combined with her ability to become intangible while using her Skill and her unique healing mechanic after waking up from enemy Sleep debuffs, Moonlight becomes one of the most helpful all-around damage dealers available in Kingdom Arena. Her Crystal Jam at low levels contentiously trades some damage for near-instant Sleep debuffs that last for extended durations, but she progressively becomes dramatically stronger with both damage and sleep debuff potency as her skill is leveled up. Moonlight’s Ranged-type classification means she positions safely in the rear, delivering consistent damage while avoiding frontline dangers. Her Sleep debuff provides crucial crowd control that can disable enemy damage dealers during critical battle moments. In PvP specifically, Moonlight counters aggressive compositions by putting their key attackers to sleep before they can activate devastating skills. Build her with Searing Raspberry toppings for maximum damage.
Stardust Cookie’s Wrath of the Stars not only deals impressive area damage that can weaken Middle and Rear cookies, but inflicts the incredibly dangerous Sign of the Stars debuff that can absolutely devastate one of the enemy team’s main attackers. Sign of the Stars inflicts a crushing 30% ATK drop combined with 40% healing reduction and 35% increased received damage, all while preventing additional buffs from being placed on afflicted cookies. The debuff also inflicts deadly damage if it’s ever dispelled, effectively preventing most teams from safely running dispelling effects against Stardust Cookie compositions. As a Legendary Ambush-type cookie, Stardust positions aggressively to quickly apply Sign of the Stars to enemy damage dealers, crippling their offensive potential. In Kingdom Arena, Stardust functions as both damage dealer and debuffer, creating advantages that stack throughout battles.
If Rebel Cookie was the best Assault cookie, Black Lemonade absolutely deserves recognition as the best Bomber cookie currently available. Without any doubt, this Epic character brings incredibly powerful damage potential and represents a fantastic addition to any well-constructed team composition. Sure, she’s somewhat niche and fairly situational in her optimal usage, but once you’ve properly honed her toppings, leveled her up significantly, and identified that perfect niche, you’ll be able to absolutely decimate enemies in almost every battle scenario. Black Lemonade’s kit focuses on delivering devastating area damage with high ATK multipliers and crowd control effects. Her skills charge relatively quickly for a Bomber type, allowing frequent burst damage windows. Build her with Searing Raspberry, Swift Chocolate, or Solid Almond toppings depending on whether your team composition needs more damage, faster cooldowns, or additional survivability from your damage dealer.
Thanks to some well-placed toppings, consistent upgrades, and strategic crafting, players have successfully reached one million power with this exceptional fighter cookie. With extremely fast cooldowns, several incredible skills, and naturally high base power, if you manage to pull Rebel Cookie from the gacha, you should add him to your active roster instantly. Rebel functions as an Ambush-type Epic cookie who delivers concentrated burst damage to priority targets while maintaining surprising survivability through damage resistance mechanics. His skill set allows him to dive onto key enemies, eliminate them quickly, and escape before retaliation arrives. In Kingdom Arena, Rebel excels at assassinating enemy healers and support cookies, creating numbers advantages that lead to victory. For Guild Battles, his single-target damage proves valuable against bosses when properly supported. Build him with Juicy Apple Jelly, Swift Chocolate, or Searing Raspberry toppings for maximum impact.
Added back in the 2025-2 update, Captain Caviar Cookie has been a beloved addition to competitive teams for years now, and his continued relevance speaks volumes about his kit design. He functions as a powerful debuffer ideal for securing clean kills once enemy defenses are stripped away, especially in PvP game modes where burst damage matters most. What really sells Captain Caviar Cookie beyond pure damage is his incredible versatility across different content types. If you want PvP dominance, Exploration progression, or boss elimination capabilities, this character represents an excellent choice that adapts to whatever challenge you face. His skills reduce enemy defense while dealing solid damage, creating windows where your team can capitalize with burst damage. Build Captain Caviar with Searing Raspberry and Swift Chocolate toppings to maximize his damage output and ability frequency.
Fettuccine Cookie functions as a stellar Epic-rarity Defense cookie to have on your team, acting as a great frontline tank with strong focus on DMG Resist while making enemies vulnerable to Earth-type DMG dealt by your other cookies. His kit also reduces enemy attack power directed at your party, creating a double-defensive layer of damage mitigation. As an Epic-rarity cookie, Fettuccine represents one of the most accessible S-tier options for players who haven’t yet pulled multiple Ancient or Beast cookies. His Earth-type synergy means he pairs exceptionally well with other Earth-element cookies to create devastating elemental team compositions. In Kingdom Arena, Fettuccine’s damage resistance allows him to survive burst combinations while his debuffs weaken enemy damage output. For PvE progression, his tankiness helps teams push through difficult stages where survival matters more than speed.
Slowing down enemies, reducing their attack and movement speed simultaneously, and possessing a naturally high attack stat all come together to make Mozzarella Cookie a Magic-type cookie absolutely worth adding to your team composition. Her skills, diverse abilities, and overall power output are genuinely impressive, especially when compared to other similar Magic cookies in the same rarity tier. Combine that with her Epic-rarity status making her relatively accessible, and you’ve discovered a match made in Cookie Heaven – provided you can successfully pull her from the gacha. Mozzarella excels in PvE content where slowing enemies allows your team to control engagement pacing, preventing dangerous enemy skill activations. Her consistent damage output keeps pressure on enemies throughout extended fights. Build her with Swift Chocolate toppings to reduce cooldowns and maximize her slowing debuff uptime for superior enemy control.
Despite being trickier to pull given his Super Epic status and lower drop rates, Clotted Cream Cookie represents a fantastic Magical addition to your team that justifies the investment required. Most notable among his abilities is his capacity to take down single enemies with remarkable ease, all while dealing splash damage to the next target to quickly eliminate entire teams in succession. Clotted Cream Cookie thrives in Kingdom Arena thanks to his control skills and assassination potential, making him a fantastic addition to PvP-focused team compositions. His Magic-type classification means he positions in the middle row, delivering ranged attacks while remaining relatively safe from frontline dangers. In Guild Battles, his single-target burst helps eliminate dangerous adds before they can complicate boss fights. Build him with Solid Almond, Swift Chocolate, or Searing Raspberry toppings depending on whether you need survivability, cooldown reduction, or maximum damage.
Twizzly Gummy Cookie is arguably the absolute best Ranged cookie available in Cookie Run Kingdom right now in 2025. That exceptional power is primarily owed to her fantastic skills named Twizzle Beam and Blast From the Future that work in perfect synergy. On top of the impressively speedy cooldowns these skills feature, they both deal an unreal amount of damage while also increasing critical hit damage and casting the Zap debuff on the entire enemy team. The combination of powerful attacks, meaningful debuffs, and overall high base power places Twizzly Gummy Cookie right at the top of the Ranged-type meta rankings. Her versatility across both PvE and PvP content makes her an incredibly safe investment for players looking to strengthen their roster. Build her with Juicy Apple Jelly, Solid Almond, or Swift Chocolate toppings to maximize her already impressive damage potential and survivability.
Before discussing awakened Golden Cheese, the base Ancient form still deserves recognition as a powerful cookie worth building. As an Ancient-rarity Ranged cookie, she’s extremely tricky to pull from the gacha, but she absolutely has the power to make pulling her worthwhile for your account. What really makes base Golden Cheese Cookie valuable is her remarkable versatility across different game modes and team compositions. If you want immense damage, protection for allies, and buffs to your team, then this Ancient represents an excellent choice. She can deal incredible damage to enemies, shield allies from incoming attacks, absorb damage herself, and grant Knockback immunity, all while removing enemy buffs and dealing explosion damage. Her well-rounded kit means she fits into most team compositions without requiring specific synergies. Build her with Searing Raspberry or Swift Chocolate toppings for maximum impact.
Pure Vanilla Cookie was once considered the absolute best healer in Cookie Run Kingdom’s history, but eventually fell behind in the current meta in favor of superior options like Mystic Flour Cookie and certain Special cookies. Despite this power creep, Pure Vanilla remains largely considered one of the best Healing cookies available, especially for players who haven’t yet pulled the newest top-tier healers. There’s not much flexibility required in building Pure Vanilla, which means he’s super easy to succeed with even for newer players. His signature healing skill provides massive team-wide HP restoration combined with a defensive shield that absorbs incoming damage. In PvE content, Pure Vanilla’s healing allows teams to survive difficult stages that would otherwise require perfect execution. Build him with Solid Almond or Swift Chocolate toppings to enhance survivability or reduce cooldowns.
White Lily Cookie (base Ancient form) is highly versatile in Kingdom Arena, able to either lock enemy teams down with crowd control or wipe them out herself with impressive damage output. Her Skill called Lily Bud deals relatively decent base damage, but deals exponentially extra DMG for every buff she has active, including the Lily Restoration stacks that she builds up by either watching allies receive debuffs or using her Skill repeatedly. Her high Skill multipliers are further amplified by her built-in DMG Resist Bypass, Weakness application, and damage relative to Max HP scaling. She brings strong utility through Vines crowd control and MOV SPD Down debuffs, and if she reaches the maximum Lily Restoration stacks, she consumes them to trigger an instant teamwide heal and cleanse. White Lily has great synergy with almost any team due to appreciating buffs while locking enemies down for allies.
Both versions of Hollyberry are extremely useful in PvE fights across story mode and Guild Battles, providing exceptional tanking capabilities that allow teams to survive challenging content. Her base Ancient form functions as a Defense cookie who leads from the front, excelling at safeguarding your squad from critical hits, ultimate abilities, and debilitating debuffs. Hollyberry’s signature skill involves charging forward while absorbing massive amounts of damage, then smashing down to deal area damage while granting shields to all allies. Her defensive buffs provide crucial damage resistance that helps teams survive burst damage windows. In story progression, Hollyberry trivializes many difficult stages by simply tanking through mechanics that would wipe less protected teams. Build her with Solid Almond toppings to maximize her already impressive tanking capabilities and ensure she survives to protect your team throughout entire battles.
Dark Cacao Cookie’s base Ancient form remains a powerful Charge-type cookie even when compared to his awakened Dragon Lord version, offering exceptional performance in PvE content and Guild Battles. His signature Grapejam Chocoblade skill deals devastating area damage to enemies while providing self-sustain through HP restoration based on damage dealt. Dark Cacao combines frontline tankiness with impressive damage output, making him function as both a damage dealer and a secondary tank. In story progression, his ability to cleave through multiple enemies simultaneously helps clear waves efficiently. For Guild Battles, his sustained damage over lengthy boss encounters makes him incredibly valuable when you need consistent DPS. Dark Cacao’s versatility means he fits into most team compositions without requiring specific synergies. Build him with Searing Raspberry and Swift Chocolate toppings to maximize his damage potential and skill frequency.
Sea Fairy Cookie isn’t quite as dominant as she was back when first released in 2025-4, having slipped down the meta rankings as newer cookies with more powerful kits arrived. Nevertheless, she remains one of the best Bomber cookies available in Cookie Run Kingdom, especially for specific content like Master Mode stages. Sea Fairy Cookie is primarily powerful in challenging PvE content where her instant skill activation provides crucial burst windows. Her signature area damage combined with freeze debuffs creates strong crowd control that helps teams survive dangerous enemy phases. Sea Fairy’s Legendary status means she’s difficult to obtain, but players lucky enough to pull her will find value in her kit. In Kingdom Arena, she’s become somewhat less relevant due to powercreep, but still functions adequately in certain team compositions. Build her with Searing Raspberry and Swift Chocolate toppings to maximize damage output and ability frequency.
Black Pearl Cookie brings unique mechanics as a Legendary Bomber-type cookie who specializes in dominating ocean-themed stages and certain PvP scenarios. Her Sea Dominion skill transforms the battlefield, dealing continuous damage to enemies while providing beneficial effects to allies. Black Pearl excels in specific content where her mechanics shine brightest, though she’s somewhat overshadowed by more universally strong Bomber options. In Kingdom Arena, properly built Black Pearl compositions can catch opponents off-guard with her unique damage patterns. For Guild Battles, she provides solid area damage when fighting bosses vulnerable to her skills. Black Pearl’s Legendary rarity makes her challenging to obtain and invest in, but dedicated players will find niches where she performs exceptionally. Build her with Searing Raspberry toppings primarily, with Swift Chocolate as a secondary option for faster skill rotations.
Frost Queen Cookie functions as a powerful Magic-type Legendary cookie specializing in freeze-based crowd control combined with impressive area damage output. Her signature Freezing Squall skill deals heavy damage while applying freeze debuffs that prevent enemies from acting, creating windows where your team can safely attack without retaliation. Frost Queen excels particularly in PvE content where controlling multiple enemies simultaneously proves crucial for survival. In story progression, her freeze effects allow teams to safely clear difficult stages by preventing dangerous enemy skill activations. For Guild Battles, she provides utility through crowd control while maintaining respectable damage output. Frost Queen’s performance in Kingdom Arena has diminished somewhat as the meta shifted toward burst damage over sustained control, but she still functions adequately in freeze-focused team compositions. Build her with Searing Raspberry and Swift Chocolate toppings to enhance damage and skill frequency.
Pitaya Dragon Cookie is a fantastic Charge cookie to use in almost any situation across both PvE and PvP content. They have three distinct phases to their abilities, with the third and final one enabling them to transform into a massive dragon and destroy anything positioned in front of them with overwhelming force. Combine that dragon transformation with Snapdragon Cookie and you’ve created a pairing made in heaven that amplifies both cookies’ effectiveness dramatically. Pitaya’s Dragon rarity means they’re obtainable through specific events and dragon-themed banners, making them more accessible than some other top-tier options. Their versatility across game modes combined with high damage output makes Pitaya an excellent investment for players looking to strengthen their roster. In Kingdom Arena, the dragon transformation provides burst damage windows that can swing close matches. Build Pitaya with Searing Raspberry toppings to maximize their already impressive damage potential during dragon form.
Sherbet Cookie is a solid Super Epic Ranged cookie who brings powerful, fast-regenerating attacks that make him valuable across multiple game modes. He’s powerful enough to compete with some Legendary options, featuring extremely strong attacks that regenerate incredibly fast due to favorable cooldown values. His skills keep damage stacking throughout battles, with the additional ability to cause enemies to become Frozen on top of all that consistent damage output. Sure, he’s not living up to the raw power of cookies like Golden Cheese, but as an easier addition to pull from the gacha compared to Ancient or Beast cookies, players will be fortunate to add Sherbet Cookie to their competitive team roster. His performance in Guild Battles stands out particularly, where his stacking damage mechanism shines during extended boss encounters. Build him with Swift Chocolate and Solid Almond toppings for optimal cooldown reduction and survivability balance.
Caramel Arrow Cookie is an absolute powerhouse in both PvE battles and Guild fights, offering exceptional performance that makes her worth serious investment. However, when specifically discussing PvE content, she’s arguably one of the most broken cookies available in the entire game. Thanks to her deadly accurate attacks, ability to target multiple enemies simultaneously, and devastating Arrow Mark skill, she’s capable of dealing over 300,000 damage to a single enemy when you execute her combo carefully. Combine this incredible burst potential with her immunity to debuffs during that skill’s duration, and it becomes crystal clear why she’s so brilliant for challenging content. Caramel Arrow’s Epic rarity makes her relatively accessible compared to higher rarities, meaning more players can benefit from her power. Build her with Searing Raspberry and Solid Almond toppings to maximize damage while maintaining sufficient survivability for extended encounters.
Prune Juice Cookie is a quick, efficient, and easy-to-upgrade killer who delivers results in both boss battles and Kingdom Arena. No matter what battle scenario you encounter, if you’ve built a high-powered Prune Juice Cookie with proper toppings and levels, you’ll dominate encounters before enemy teams realize what’s happened to their composition. Prune Juice Cookie is often lovingly called the Poison King among the player community due to his incredible poison-based damage over time effects that stack to devastating levels. His Bomber-type classification means he charges skills briefly before unleashing devastating area damage, making timing crucial for maximum impact. Prune Juice’s poison mechanics scale exceptionally well into late game content where enemies have massive HP pools. Build him with Swift Chocolate and Searing Raspberry toppings to optimize both his skill frequency and raw damage output for maximum poison application and burst potential.
Her DPS output is extremely strong across sustained encounters, making Black Raisin Cookie ideal for guild battles and boss fights where damage over time matters more than burst windows. Combine this consistent damage with her cheap upgrade cost and lack of heavy investment requirements for high returns, and you have an affordable yet powerful Epic cookie accessible to most players. Black Raisin functions as an Ambush-type cookie who delivers concentrated damage to priority targets while maintaining decent survivability. Her skills feature favorable ATK multipliers and relatively quick cooldowns, allowing frequent ability usage throughout battles. In Guild Battles specifically, Black Raisin shines during lengthy boss encounters where her sustained DPS outperforms many flashier but less consistent damage dealers. Build her with Swift Chocolate and Juicy Apple Jelly toppings to enhance both her skill frequency and critical damage potential for optimal performance.
Adding life-stealing mechanics that regenerate health from damage dealt, bleed effects, and guaranteed 100% critical hit chance causes Vampire Cookie to essentially lock onto enemy targets and destroy them in just a few devastating hits. For the most part, focus on proper toppings and level him up as much as your resources allow. Vampire’s signature skill targets the enemy with the highest current HP, making him particularly effective against tanky opponents and bosses. His Ambush classification means he positions to quickly eliminate priority targets before they can significantly impact battles. Vampire Cookie excels particularly in boss-focused content where his single-target burst damage shines brightest. In Kingdom Arena, he functions as a tank-buster who can delete enemy defenders before they stabilize their team. Build Vampire exclusively with Searing Raspberry toppings to maximize his critical damage output and capitalize on his guaranteed crit mechanics.
Often referred to as an absolute life changer among experienced players, Creme Brulee Cookie is a fantastic Ranged cookie that’s perfect for higher-level PvE battles but can also hold his own in tricky PvP fights, provided you’ve invested levels and given him proper team protection. Thanks to his high base power, incredible attack stat, and vital skills that synergize beautifully, Creme Brulee Cookie is often considered one of the best Epic cookies available in the entire game, so it stands to reason he’s one of the best Ranged fighters available. His damage output scales remarkably well into late-game content where stat values become inflated. Creme Brulee’s Epic rarity makes him accessible to most players while still delivering performance comparable to higher rarities. Build him with Searing Raspberry toppings exclusively to maximize his already impressive damage potential and help him eliminate enemies before they can threaten your team composition.
Eclair Cookie brings unique value as an Epic Support-type cookie whose primary strength lies in shredding enemy defenses to amplify your team’s damage output dramatically. His signature skill applies powerful defense reduction debuffs that cause enemies to take significantly increased damage from all sources. This defense shred mechanic makes Eclair particularly valuable in story progression where his debuffs allow teams to punch above their weight class. Eclair has historically demonstrated the capability to single-handedly clear difficult story stages when paired with a competent healer or frontline tank to keep him alive. His Support classification means he provides utility rather than raw damage, making him synergize beautifully with damage-focused team compositions. In Guild Battles, Eclair’s defense reduction significantly speeds up boss kills by amplifying all damage dealt by your entire team. Build him with Swift Chocolate toppings to maximize his debuff uptime through reduced cooldowns.
A brilliant addition to any team composition, Financier thrives in her ability to heal allies, implement DMG Resist buffs, provide ATK boosts, deal respectable damage herself, and shield other cookies from incoming attacks. She’s genuinely able to deal with pretty much any situation you place her in, all while protecting teammates as much as possible through her defensive focus. Financier functions as a Defense-type Epic cookie who combines tanking with support capabilities, creating a unique hybrid playstyle. Her versatility means she fits into most team compositions without requiring specific synergies or narrow team building. In Kingdom Arena, Financier provides defensive stability that helps teams survive burst damage windows while maintaining offensive pressure. For PvE progression, her balanced kit allows teams to push through challenging content without perfectly optimized compositions. Build her with Swift Chocolate and Solid Almond toppings to balance cooldown reduction with enhanced survivability.
Wildberry Cookie functions as a powerful Defense-type Epic cookie who excels particularly in PvP content through his unique counter-punch tanking mechanics. His signature skill allows him to absorb enemy attacks and retaliate with devastating counterattacks that scale based on damage absorbed. This counter mechanic makes Wildberry particularly effective against burst-focused enemy compositions that dump all their damage into his defensive stance. In Kingdom Arena, Wildberry creates awkward situations for opponents where attacking him strengthens his counterattack while ignoring him allows him to disrupt enemy formations. His Defense classification means he positions on the frontline, absorbing damage meant for more vulnerable damage dealers positioned behind him. Wildberry’s Epic rarity makes him accessible to most players while still delivering competitive performance. Build him with Solid Almond toppings primarily to maximize his damage absorption potential and amplify his counter damage output.
Cotton Cookie remains one of the most versatile Epic cookies available across all content types, providing value through healing, summoning, and damage amplification mechanics. Her signature skill summons adorable sheep minions that attack enemies while she simultaneously heals all allies for significant HP restoration. Cotton’s dual nature as both healer and summoner makes her fit into diverse team compositions without conflicts. In story progression, her sustained healing allows teams to survive difficult stages while her summons provide additional damage and meat shields. For Kingdom Arena, Cotton’s flexibility lets her adapt to various team strategies. In Guild Battles, her sustained healing during lengthy encounters proves invaluable for teams lacking top-tier Ancient healers. Cotton’s Epic rarity combined with strong performance makes her an excellent investment for players at all progression levels. Build her with Swift Chocolate toppings to reduce cooldowns and maximize both healing and summon uptime.
Parfait Cookie brings crucial utility as an Epic Healing-type cookie whose standout feature involves providing powerful debuff resistance to protect teams from devastating status effects. Her signature skill heals all allies while simultaneously granting debuff resistance that prevents or cleanses negative effects. This utility makes Parfait particularly valuable against enemy compositions heavily reliant on debuffs to function properly. In Kingdom Arena, Parfait counters debuff-focused strategies by simply negating their primary win condition. For PvE content, her debuff protection allows teams to survive stages with dangerous crowd control effects that would otherwise wipe unprepared compositions. Parfait’s healing output isn’t quite as high as top-tier dedicated healers, but her utility through debuff resistance creates unique value that can’t be replicated easily. Build her with Swift Chocolate toppings to maximize uptime on her crucial debuff resistance buffs through reduced cooldowns.
Along with buffing critical hit damage, critical hit chance, and damage resistance for allies, Cream Ferret Cookie possesses the unique ability to transform into an adorable ferret form and heal the entire team for 55% of their attack stat. This transformation mechanic makes Cream Ferret one of the most interesting Special-rarity cookies with unique gameplay patterns. Their Support classification means they provide buffs and healing rather than direct damage, making them synergize beautifully with crit-focused damage dealers. In Kingdom Arena, Cream Ferret’s crit buffs enable carry cookies to reach devastating damage thresholds. For Guild Battles, their sustained buffing throughout extended encounters amplifies team damage significantly. Cream Ferret’s Special rarity means they were obtainable through specific events, making them relatively rare but incredibly valuable for players who secured them. Build with Swift Chocolate toppings to maximize transformation frequency and maintain high buff uptime throughout battles.
Charcoal Cookie, while not as overwhelmingly powerful as Silent Salt Cookie, still represents a respectable S-to-B tier character worth considering for specific team compositions. His DMG capabilities are genuinely fantastic, and his position as a Rear character is ideal for keeping him safely positioned away from frontline dangers. Think of Charcoal as a slightly tougher glass cannon – he delivers impressive damage output but requires protection to function optimally. His Ranged-type classification means he positions in the back row, attacking from safe distances while allies absorb frontline pressure. Charcoal excels in PvE content where you can protect him properly, allowing his damage to shine throughout encounters. In Kingdom Arena, he’s somewhat vulnerable to Ambush cookies who specifically target rear positions. Build him with Searing Raspberry toppings to maximize his glass cannon damage potential and eliminate enemies before they threaten him.
Snapdragon Cookie functions as a Special-rarity Healing cookie who provides both HP restoration and meaningful buffs to strengthen team performance. Their healing output is respectable though not quite reaching the levels of top-tier Ancient or Beast healers. Snapdragon’s Special classification means they were obtainable through specific events or limited banners, making them relatively rare among player rosters. Their kit synergizes particularly well with dragon-themed cookies, creating thematic team compositions that perform decently across most content. In both PvP and PvE scenarios, Snapdragon provides adequate healing to sustain teams through challenging content when better options aren’t available. Their buff mechanics amplify team damage output, creating value beyond pure HP restoration. Build Snapdragon with Swift Chocolate toppings to reduce cooldowns and maximize both healing frequency and buff uptime throughout battles.
Thanks to signature mechanics involving Heavenly Fruit and Unripe Peach Bao, Peach Blossom Cookie manages to promote interesting versatility within the Support-type classification. Sure, they’re not quite as powerful as other Special-rarity cookies available, but considering the relatively easy time players had pulling them during their banner, they represent an ideal addition for rosters lacking premium support options. Peach Blossom’s skills provide buffs and utility that help teams perform better across various content types. Their Special rarity means availability was limited to specific events, but many players successfully obtained them during that window. In Kingdom Arena, Peach Blossom functions adequately in support roles though they’re outclassed by premium options. For PvE content, their versatile kit helps teams lacking better alternatives. Build with Swift Chocolate, Searing Raspberry, or Solid Almond depending on whether you need cooldown reduction, damage amplification, or survivability enhancement.
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie brings Super Epic-rarity Support capabilities to teams, providing buffs and utility that enhance overall performance without delivering exceptional power. Their kit focuses on amplifying team damage and providing minor utility effects that create small advantages throughout battles. Nutmeg Tiger’s Super Epic status means they have decent base stats and reasonable power, though they don’t quite reach the heights of top-tier support options. In mixed content scenarios, Nutmeg Tiger performs adequately when players lack access to premium Ancient or Beast support cookies. Their versatility allows them to fit into various team compositions without major conflicts or anti-synergies. Build Nutmeg Tiger with Swift Chocolate toppings primarily to maximize their buff uptime through reduced cooldowns, ensuring consistent team amplification throughout encounters.
Space Doughnut Cookie is a decent choice across all game modes, offering respectable amounts of damage, useful debuffs, reliable stuns, and additional utility effects. They’re functional and perform adequately for teams lacking better Charge-type options in their roster. Space Doughnut’s Epic rarity makes them accessible to most players through standard gacha pulls. Their Charge classification positions them on the frontline where they can apply crowd control while absorbing some damage. In Kingdom Arena and PvE content, Space Doughnut provides utility through stuns that interrupt enemy skill usage, creating windows for your team to capitalize. Their performance doesn’t stand out dramatically, but they fill the Charge role competently when premium options aren’t available. Build with Swift Chocolate and Searing Raspberry toppings to enhance both their crowd control frequency and damage output for optimal contribution to team performance.
It’s absolutely worth noting that Shining Glitter Cookie functions primarily as a one-trick cookie with narrow specialization. She’s practically perfect for PvE battles, including challenging boss fights where her kit shines brightest. However, for PvP content like Kingdom Arena, many players struggle to make her work effectively against real opponents. Despite this limitation, when she’s fighting PvE enemies in story mode or Guild Battles, she’s genuinely a powerhouse character capable of holding entire teams together deep into difficult adventures. Shining Glitter’s Magic classification means she positions in the middle row, delivering magical attacks from moderate range. Her boss-fighting specialization makes her invaluable for players pushing through difficult PvE content. Build her with Searing Raspberry, Juicy Apple Jelly, or Swift Chocolate toppings depending on whether you prioritize raw damage, critical damage amplification, or faster skill rotation for sustained boss encounters.
As accurately inferred by their thematic name, Snow Sugar Cookie focuses primarily on dealing Ice and Frost damage to enemies while simultaneously debuffing them with movement and attack speed reductions. However, the Frozen debuff and powerful ice-based attacks aren’t what truly set Snow Sugar Cookie apart from other Magic-type fighters in similar roles. What their signature Help Me, Snow King skill (with Magic Candy upgrade) accomplishes is transforming them immune to attack speed changes, destroying any currently frozen targets for massive bonus damage, and granting an HP Shield to absorb incoming damage. Magic cookies typically function as glass cannons with high damage but low survivability, but that added HP Shield mechanic protects Snow Sugar Cookie and makes them a worthy addition to ice-focused team compositions. Build with Swift Chocolate and Searing Raspberry toppings for optimal performance.
Cream Unicorn Cookie functions as a Healing-type Epic cookie with an interesting offensive twist that differentiates them from traditional pure healers. Their kit provides adequate HP restoration while also contributing respectable damage output, creating a hybrid playstyle. In both Arena and PvE content, Cream Unicorn performs decently when teams need healing but can afford to sacrifice some healing power for additional damage contribution. Their Epic rarity makes them accessible through standard gacha pulls for most players. Cream Unicorn’s offensive healing approach works best in team compositions that don’t require maximum healing throughput but appreciate the additional damage contribution. Build them with Swift Chocolate toppings primarily to maximize both their healing frequency and damage contribution through reduced cooldowns, ensuring consistent value throughout battles.
Icicle Yeti functions as a fantastic Healing cookie capable of creating protective shields, absorbing incoming damage, healing wounded allies, and making the entire team resistant to Freezing debuffs that would otherwise disable them. They also contribute some respectable damage output beyond their healing duties. Icicle Yeti’s Epic rarity makes them accessible to most players through standard gacha mechanics. Their versatile kit combining healing, shielding, and debuff immunity creates interesting value in specific scenarios, particularly against ice-focused enemy compositions. In PvE and PvP content, Icicle Yeti performs adequately when teams need freeze resistance combined with healing. Build with Frosted Crystal Chocolate and Swift Chocolate toppings to enhance both their defensive capabilities and healing frequency through reduced cooldowns for consistent team protection.
Cream Puff Cookie serves as a solid Magic-type Epic cookie particularly useful during story progression for newer players building their first competitive rosters. Her kit provides decent magical damage output with reasonable cooldowns and moderate ATK multipliers. Cream Puff’s Epic rarity makes her extremely accessible through standard gacha pulls, meaning most players will obtain multiple copies during normal gameplay. In early story stages, she contributes meaningful damage that helps teams clear content before acquiring premium damage dealers. However, as players progress into late-game content and acquire better cookies, Cream Puff typically gets replaced by superior Magic-type options. She represents a solid stepping stone rather than an end-game investment priority. Build her with basic Searing Raspberry toppings if using her during early progression, but don’t over-invest resources better saved for superior alternatives.
Chili Pepper Cookie functions as an Ambush-type Epic cookie who specializes in targeting enemies positioned in the rear lines where damage dealers and healers typically position themselves. Her kit focuses on delivering burst damage to eliminate squishy targets quickly before retreating to safety. Chili Pepper’s primary value emerges during early game progression where her assassination mechanics help newer players clear story stages. However, as content difficulty increases and players acquire better Ambush cookies, Chili Pepper quickly becomes outclassed by superior alternatives with stronger kits. Her Epic rarity means she’s easily accessible, making her a decent temporary option while building your roster. In Kingdom Arena, she struggles against properly protected team compositions. Build with basic toppings if using during early progression, but don’t heavily invest resources better saved for long-term cookies.
Sonic Cookie functions as a unique Guest-rarity Ambush cookie obtained through specific limited-time collaboration events. His kit emphasizes speed and damage, staying true to his source material characterization. Sonic delivers decent burst damage while featuring fast movement speed and quick skill animations. His Guest classification means availability was limited to specific collaboration windows, making him relatively rare among player rosters. In terms of performance, Sonic functions adequately across content types but doesn’t excel dramatically in any particular area. Players who obtained him during the collaboration event will find he performs decently, but his limited availability means most players can’t access him currently. Build Sonic with standard damage-focused toppings if you have him available on your account from the collaboration event period.
Latte Cookie functions as a Magic-type Epic cookie who delivers continuous damage over time through her signature coffee-themed skills. Her kit focuses on applying damage-over-time effects rather than burst damage, creating sustained pressure throughout battles. Latte’s Epic rarity makes her easily accessible through standard gacha pulls for nearly all players. In story progression, particularly during early and mid-game stages, Latte provides adequate magical damage that helps teams clear content. However, as content difficulty scales upward and players acquire premium Magic cookies, Latte typically gets replaced by superior alternatives with stronger kits. Her damage-over-time focus works better in PvE scenarios where battles last longer. Build with basic Searing Raspberry toppings if using during progression, but avoid heavy investment as better options become available.
Licorice Cookie brings summoning mechanics as a Magic-type Epic cookie who spawns licorice minions to fight alongside your team. His signature skill summons servants that attack enemies while providing minor utility through their presence. Licorice’s minions absorb some damage meant for your actual cookies while contributing modest damage output. In story progression, particularly during early stages, the extra bodies from summons help newer teams survive difficult content. However, as players progress and acquire better cookies, Licorice’s summons become less impactful relative to direct damage or healing from superior alternatives. His Epic rarity makes him accessible, functioning as a decent placeholder option. Build with basic damage toppings if using temporarily, but prioritize investment into long-term viable cookies instead.
Moon Rabbit Cookie functions as a Defense-type Epic cookie featuring her signature Rice Cake Pounding skill themed around her rabbit motif. Her kit focuses on frontline tanking with modest damage output and defensive capabilities. Moon Rabbit’s Epic rarity makes her easily accessible for new players building their first teams. In early game content, she provides adequate tanking that helps teams survive story stages before acquiring premium Defense cookies. However, as content difficulty increases dramatically and players obtain better tanks, Moon Rabbit quickly becomes outclassed by superior alternatives with more impactful kits. She represents a stepping stone rather than an end-game investment priority. Build with basic Solid Almond toppings if using during early progression, but don’t over-invest resources better allocated toward long-term viable tanks.
Red Velvet Cookie functions as a Charge-type Epic cookie accompanied by his signature Chiffon Hound companion. His kit focuses on charging forward with his hound to deal damage while absorbing moderate amounts of incoming attacks. Red Velvet’s primary value exists exclusively during early story progression where newer players lack better Charge options. His Epic rarity makes him easily accessible through standard gacha pulls. However, Red Velvet quickly becomes obsolete as content difficulty scales and players acquire superior Charge cookies with dramatically more impactful kits. His performance in both PvE and PvP falls dramatically short compared to modern meta options. Avoid investing significant resources into Red Velvet beyond minimal early-game usage, saving materials for cookies that remain relevant throughout the game’s lifespan.
Purple Yam Cookie brings berserker-themed mechanics as a Charge-type Epic cookie who enters rage states to amplify damage output. His kit focuses on frontline aggression with moderate damage and basic crowd control effects. Purple Yam’s primary relevance exists only during early story stages where new players use whatever Epic cookies they’ve pulled. His easily accessible Epic rarity means most players obtain him quickly. However, Purple Yam becomes rapidly outclassed as content difficulty increases and better Charge cookies become available. His performance across all content types falls dramatically short of modern standards. Avoid significant resource investment beyond minimal early-game usage, instead prioritizing cookies that maintain relevance throughout progression. Purple Yam represents a placeholder that gets replaced quickly during natural roster development.
Madeleine Cookie functions as a Charge-type Epic cookie featuring light-themed skills and defensive mechanics through his signature Light Shield ability. His kit attempts to blend tanking with damage output but succeeds at neither well enough to remain competitive. Madeleine’s primary value exists exclusively during early story progression where newer players lack diverse rosters. His Epic rarity ensures easy accessibility through standard gacha mechanics. However, Madeleine quickly becomes obsolete as players progress through content and acquire better alternatives. His performance in modern meta scenarios falls dramatically short across both PvE and PvP content types. Avoid investing resources beyond minimal early usage, instead saving materials for cookies that maintain long-term viability and relevance throughout the game’s lifespan.
Dark Choco Cookie brings defense reduction mechanics as a Charge-type Epic cookie whose primary utility involves reducing enemy defensive stats. His signature skill applies DEF Down debuffs that theoretically amplify team damage output. Dark Choco’s relevance peaked during the game’s early life cycle but has since diminished dramatically as superior alternatives emerged. His Epic rarity makes him easily accessible, meaning most players obtain him eventually. However, modern cookies like Eclair Cookie provide far superior defense reduction while bringing additional utility. Dark Choco’s performance across current content falls short of viable standards. While his defense shred has niche historical value, better alternatives exist for that specific purpose. Avoid investing beyond absolute minimum, prioritizing resources toward cookies that maintain current meta relevance.
Espresso Cookie functions as a Magic-type Epic cookie whose signature skill pulls enemies together before dealing area damage, creating interesting crowd control possibilities. His kit focuses on grouping scattered enemies for follow-up attacks from teammates. Espresso’s primary relevance existed during early game meta before powercreep rendered his kit obsolete. His Epic rarity ensures accessibility, but modern Magic cookies dramatically outperform him across all content types. In early story stages, Espresso’s crowd control provided value, but current content demands far higher damage output and utility. His performance in modern Kingdom Arena and Guild Battles falls dramatically short of viable thresholds. Avoid investing resources beyond minimal early usage, instead prioritizing cookies that remain competitive throughout the game’s current meta landscape.
Lemon Cookie brings tornado-themed mechanics as a Ranged-type Epic cookie with extremely narrow and situational utility. Their kit focuses on dealing damage through lemon-themed tornado attacks that sound more impressive than they actually perform. Lemon’s relevance exists almost exclusively in extraordinarily niche scenarios that rarely occur during normal gameplay. Their Epic rarity makes them accessible, but accessibility doesn’t create value when performance falls dramatically short. In nearly all content types across PvE and PvP, better Ranged alternatives exist that perform Lemon’s role more effectively while bringing additional utility. Avoid investing any significant resources into Lemon Cookie, instead prioritizing virtually any other Ranged option that maintains actual competitive viability in current meta scenarios.
Herb Cookie functions as a basic Healing-type Rare cookie who provides simple HP restoration without additional utility or complexity. His kit focuses exclusively on healing allies through straightforward mechanics without buffs, debuffs, or interesting synergies. Herb’s primary value exists during the tutorial and earliest story stages where new players lack any other healing options. His Rare rarity makes him extremely accessible, often being among the first healers new players obtain. However, Herb becomes obsolete almost immediately once players acquire any Epic or higher rarity healer. His healing output and utility fall dramatically short of modern standards. Avoid investing resources beyond absolute minimum tutorial usage, quickly replacing him with superior alternatives as your roster develops naturally through normal gameplay progression.
Custard Cookie III serves as the quintessential starter Healing-type Rare cookie provided during the tutorial to teach new players basic healing mechanics. His kit delivers simple HP restoration without any additional utility, buffs, or complexity. Custard’s entire purpose involves introducing new players to healing concepts before they acquire actual competitive healers. His Rare rarity makes him universally accessible since the game essentially gives him to every player. However, Custard becomes obsolete within hours of starting gameplay once players pull literally any higher rarity healer. His performance falls dramatically short across all content types. Avoid any resource investment beyond forced tutorial requirements, immediately replacing him with superior alternatives as soon as possible during natural progression.
Milk Cookie functions as a basic Defense-type Epic cookie who provides simple tanking mechanics without meaningful utility or complexity. His kit focuses on absorbing frontline damage through straightforward defensive stats without interesting skills or synergies. Milk’s primary relevance exists during tutorial stages where new players learn basic tanking concepts. His Epic rarity means he’s relatively accessible through early gacha pulls. However, Milk becomes obsolete quickly once players acquire any higher rarity Defense cookie with actual impactful abilities. His tanking capabilities and utility fall dramatically short of modern standards where tanks must provide additional value beyond basic damage absorption. Avoid resource investment beyond minimal early usage, replacing.
