How To The Maximise Best Cookies

While it can be easy for players to visit a Cookie Run Kingdom tier list and select the highest ranked cookies from their available pool of heroes players still need a solid understanding of the game mechanics to maximise their cookies team power level:

• Team Composition: Balance is critical to CRK combat strategy and players need to ensure they have a balance of hero types even if that means using lower tier heroes. A balanced team will typically involve 1 tank and 1 healer with the remaining team slots filled primarily with high damage heroes or one utility hero if you have a high tier one available.
• Content (PvE or PvP): Different content requires different strategies with PvE generally being longer that favours survivability and healing compared to PvP that emphasises fast damage output.
• Game Funds: Free to play players might need to invest in lower tier cookies that they have available compared to paying players that have access to a larger number of cookies.
• Other Factors: Players also need to consider available cookie bonds, toppings, promotion levels and treasures, which can significantly impact your team’s effectiveness and have some element of luck to acquiring these boosts.

Tier List Ranking Factors

The following factors have been considered in the tier list rankings of Cookie Run Kingdom cookies below.

• Base Stats/Skills: The core of hero strength is your cookie hero base stats and skills. Generally the rarer a hero the higher their HP, ATK, DEF, CRIT % statistics will be initially alongside their stat growth. Each cookie also has a specific skill to consider with some being more effective at their intended purposes either because the values are higher on these talents inherently or the nature of the attack has greater effectiveness in real gameplay.
• Flexibility: With a wealth of different content challenges in Cookie Run Kingdom having a hero that is flexible across content types can be invaluable as it allows you to achieve success with less overall resources invested into your account.
• Role: As a balanced team is important to your overall cookie team strength this tier list has been designed by comparing cookies within the same roles to highlight the best in each class type. While a healing character does not deal the level of damage as an attacking focused character this doesn’t mean they are not a strong hero for your team in their intended role.
• Rarity: Rarity has a minor consideration in this tier list creation with heroes that perform above their expectations for their rarity given a small boost in overall tier rank. For example a common hero that performs comparable to a rare or epic cookie will be ranked higher given the relative ease of acquiring them while a hero that is weak considering their rarity will be ranked lower.

All Cookies Tier List

The following tier ratings apply to the cookie heroes below:

• S Tier: A powerhouse cookie that fulfils their role to the fullest potential. Heroes in this tier have deadly skills, fantastic base stats and are flexible in a number of team compositions regardless of the content you are trying to overcome.
• A Tier: A powerful cookie hero that is a great asset to any team composition and is strong at their role. Given the difficulty of acquiring many S tier heroes this is likely the tier of cookie hero a free to play player will strive for.
• B Tier: A character that can fit into the right team although some element of their character design is lacking compared to the S and A tier options for the same role.
• C Tier: C tier cookie heroes fill niche roles that can work with some effort (such as careful manual activation of abilities) or are well suited to counter a particular piece of game content. In general though these are not worth long term investment of your account resources.
• D Tier: The worst cookie characters available that you’ll only use when you don’t have another suitable hero for that role as they have few redeeming qualities compared to their peers.

The tier list below is sorted by PvE ranking first and then PvP from S to D tier based on the criteria noted above. Ratings are heavily influenced based on the core game modes of world exploration (PvE) and Kingdom Arena (PvP) with a smaller consideration for the remaining game mode content.
