The S+ Tier

This tier has the best of the best. These cookies belong to the Meta squad and have exceptional skills in PvP and PvE.

Battling against them is a nightmare as they will be all over the arena knocking you down with their consistent attacks. Having these cookies in your team, you won’t have to worry about losing the battle. No matter what the game mode is, they dominate every single match. 

Best Cookies in S+ Tier

While this tier has many cookies, the must-have powerful cookies belonging to this tier are Dark Cacao Cookie, Caramel Arrow Cookie, Frost Queen Cookie, and Sea Fairy Cookie. These cookies will help you win any battle you join.

1. Dark Cacao Cookie

A great front cookie, but a terrible dad to the Dark Choco Cookie, The Dark Cacao Cookie belongs to the Charge Class and is one of the strongest cookies in the kingdom.

Skills

• This cookie has a 16-second cooldown rate and the rate of DEF is 15 percent for 9 seconds.
• The Dark Cacao Cookie can reduce the enemy’s maximum HP temporarily using an Injury Buff.
• The enemy healers are rendered less effective and they would have a hard time healing their teammates. In this case, if you use cookies like Sea Fairy here,  you will have a lot of chances to win.
• The Dark Cacao cookie reduces the enemy ATK by 10.8%.
• His basic sword attack hit all the five cookies on the enemy team at once. 
• The Dark Cacao cookie pairs well with the Affogato Cookie.

Skills 

• This cookie has a base cooldown of 10 seconds 
• Her ranged attack takes 8 seconds and the Arrow Mark( a sort of sticky bomb) has a 12-second duration and stacks up to 12 times.
• She can deal damage to the enemy by dashing on the enemy. But since this isn’t true damage, it can be reduced by damage resist and DEF. 
• She can make herself immune to debuffs for about 8 seconds. So she can easily survive the attacks of powerful cookies like the Frost Queen or Sea Fairy.
• The best toppings for this cookie are the Bouncy Caramel Topping for stacking your Arrow Mark’s or The Searing Rasberry Topping for her ATK.

3. Frost Queen Cookie

The Frost Queen Cookie is one of the most powerful Cookies in the Cookie Run Kingdom and facing her in PvP or PvE is nothing short of a nightmare.

She is a disabler much like the Sea Fairy Cookie but her attacks are more devious. While her attacks are amazing, the bosses are usually immune to debuffs, interrupts, and disables. So the bosses would only take slight damage.

• Her flash freeze attack immobilizes the enemies and pauses skill cooldown 
• She can help destroy the mooks around the boss to open up a way to attack the boss.
• Her base cooldown is 18 seconds.

Best Cookies in B Tier

Some good cookies from this tier that you can utilize in your team are Milk Cookie, Poison Mushroom Cookie, and Kumiho Cookie.

They aren’t the best cookies to play with, but they focus on a special skill, that can be very beneficial for your team.

1. Milk Cookie

This cookie deals with the defense on the frontline. He used to be in the S tier when the game first came out, but later on more powerful cookies were introduced.

These cookies are very strong early game however they are not of much use later. Cookies from this tier are either the rare ones or the ordinary ones from Epic Tier.

Best Cookies in C-Tier

Some fairly better cookies of this tier include the Red Velvet Cookie, Avocado Cookie, and the Fig Cookie. These cookies will be a good filler for your team.

1. Red Velvet Cookie

This epic cookie belongs to the Charge type class and just like the Vampire cookie, attacks a single enemy from the rear end.

The Red Velvet Cookie’s potential can be maximized when paired with the Vampire cookie or Pastry Cookie. In missions that require 3 cookies, this cookie will be a perfect choice as they can fill two roles at once. 

Skills

• The Red Velvet Cookie will bring out the enemy upfront and stun them for five seconds, making them vulnerable to damage.
• This cookie works as a tank and as a single target attacker, dealing 800% skill damage.
• Their high ATK rate makes them a good choice as fillers in the team.

2. Avocado Cookie

This is a rare Cookie that belongs to the Defense class holding the front position. This cookie is very strong and would have easily been in one of the top tiers if getting this cookie wasn’t so hard.

This cookie specializes in PvE. The late game is where this Cookie shines the most. 

Skills

• This cookie gives a 30% ATK buff to the cookie that has the highest ATK stat.
• Partner her up with AOE nukers like the Espresso cookie to bring out her full potential. 
• She lasts longer than support cookies. To keep her squishy mids alive, give her some walnuts or almonds.

3. Fig Cookie

This Epic cookie holds the middle position and is a great support Cookie. Instead of dealing damage, this cookie focuses more on debuff, which makes this Cookie stand out from the rest of the support cookies.

Skills

• This cookie can do a 20% ATK reduction on their enemy.
• The Fig Cookie has a faster cooldown rate and they don’t have to wait for Fear Stacks in order to unleash their maximum potential. 
• While using damage dealers might be a better choice, if you do plan on using the Fig cookie, make sure to use Swift Chocolate Topping to help keep the Cookie’s debuff system going.

The D Tier

These cookies lie at the bottom of the Cookie Kingdom roster. You will have to make do with these cookies if they are the only ones you got through the Gacha.

Players only use them as bait, spot fillers, or because they look kind of cool. Most of the cookies in this tier don’t deserve your star jellies and you should go for other options.

However some cookies might be an exception, and you can upgrade them with the right amount of investment.

Best Cookies in D-Tier

Some of the best cookies of this tier include GingerBrave and the Adventurer Cookie. Like the C tier, they are only good as fillers for your team.

1. GingerBrave

This charge Cookie holds the front line. This cookie, if utilized properly can help you take the lead in the battle. GingerBrave’s skill cooldown is extremely low.

You can set up a team with 5-starred GingerBrave as bait, pairing this Cookie up with Almond, Black Raisin, and Sea Fairy.

Skills

• Its AOE lets you attack two enemy cookies on the frontline simultaneously. 
• The cooldown rate of Gingerbrave is 8 seconds which is extremely low as compared to others.

Skills

• This cookie can appear behind an enemy and attack them with his rope.
• This cookie has a 12-second base Cooldown.
• The damage dealt per attack is about 410% which is not bad for a Cookie of D Tier.

The E Tier

These cookies get overlooked by the players throughout the World Exploration plot as they are even worse than the starter squad. Their abilities are pointless most of the time and their only good use is as spit fillers.

Best Cookies in E-Tier

Some fairly better cookies of this tier are Muscle Cookie and Clover Cookie. However, it is suggested that you replace them with cookies from the higher tiers the first chance you get.

1. Muscle Cookie

This common cookie’s position is front and he belongs to the Charge type class. He is a good filler in case you haven’t had much luck with Gacha.

Skills

• This cookie has a 10-second base cooldown.
• For his main attack, he throws his dumbbell at nearby enemies dealing about 81 % damage.

2. Clover Cookie

This common cookie is a good choice as filler support and holds the rear position. Make sure you have Custard Cookie III at the back with Clover Cookie to not let the enemies overwhelm you.

Skills

• He has a 17-second base cooldown.
