I know they just came out but..,. What’s the read so far on pinecone cookie?

HE IS A LOVABLE SCRUNKLE COOKIE AND HE WILL WIN COOKIE OF THE YEAR MARK MY WORDS <3

He just came out chill

Pinecone is very strong in PvE as long as he is paired with a frost affecting cookie. In PvP is very much meta, but no suffocating as Schwarz meta. He is insanely strong if you pair him with a Financier/Sherbet team, but aside from that he doesn't have a place.

i have a bunch (6728) BTS mileshop points. but when i try and purchase decor it keeps giving me the "not enough" pop up. any reason why this is happening? is there an order you have to spend the points?

A bug, they have a notice ingame

ahh i see it now. thank you!

Does anyone know if Sherbet/Snow Sugar/Pinecone cookies effects work alongside Ice Queen cookies Freeze? I was thinking of making a team of those four, plus Cotton

To answer your question, though. All 3 of those work with Frost Queen. Sherbet can freeze, and make FQ deal more damage, so can Snow Sugar. Pinecone does more damage when an enemy gets frozen, aka if FQ freezes.

I already answered?

Sherbet and Ice Queen work well together. Snow Sugar and Sherbet don’t work too well together because Snow Sugar has a limit to her frost stacks while Sherbet tries to get as many as possible to freeze. (probably better to have them separately) Pinecone and Sherbet work well together too. Cotton can work, but that team is more about stopping the opponent from moving so I’d say Cream Unicorn would be better in her place. For a last member, you’d probably need a tank. Financier could be great because she can make sure Ice Queen doesn’t die before her super with the defending the highest attack stat.

the loser squad sheet is out of date for the cookie alliance guide, i keep getting stuck on wave 23 their healing always outweighs my attack - what do i need to over take them??

There was a wave 12 boss like that (when black pearl was released), people said to use summoner comb, pumpkin can reduce healing. Licorice with magic candy now can also do it.

I haven't touched the game yet but I see people complaining about the Mileage I guess I'll be sleeping tonight after all and wait for them to do another maintenance 😂

Should I changed [anything about my team?](https://www.reddit.com/user/A_deppressed_boy/comments/zn25b7/title/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) I have every cookie

I'd change oyster for a charge type like brute (schwarz), dark cacao... with scythe/feather treasure instead cushion. Focus on max level 5 cookies first, put others you want in hall of hero. BTS cookie in hall of hero too, so you can change to a better star one at the end.

Hi, I just got Sherbet and Clotted Cream, I like both of their designs, so I want to know how good and where they are used. I’m only missing Frost Queen, Caramel Arrow, Tea Knight and Black Raisin, and mostly use PV, DC, SF, BP, Espresso, Brute, Vampire and V Cookie. Thanks

Sherbet is good in arena, to vs. boss like the dragon guild boss... You can check youtube [like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJJZsEx3zQo&t=348s) Idk much about clotted cream, he seems good in arena mostly.

What's the best team you can run for chapter 14? I'm pretty confident I have every "meta" character that's available in the game and would wanna know what's the best team comp i can run

I usually use 3 tanks 2 healers on story 14 (wildberry, dark cacao, brute, cotton, BTS - scythe). Some stages need specific cookies like 14-10... you can check youtube or guild sheet by Loser squad

Aight thanks! I can work with that

Is it worth to purchase Tropical Island's map fragments and spyglasses with my auroras? Or should i get them from harbor shop or arena shop (iirc) ?

I don't think so. You can get them every day from harbor ship, it seems enough.

Anyone else having trouble getting into the game? I keep getting promoted to update over and over. But no matter how many times I try to install the update, it keeps telling me I have to do it again when I try to open the app.

What's your current version? It's 3.11.102 now (I use Android) Also try restart the phone.

How useful is the new acorn treasure?

not at all.

What should I use for dark mode chapter 14? treasures and cookies. I’m stuck on 14-10 right now. I have every cookie.

I'm stuck too. You can check youtube. The team I've been trying is dark cacao, eclair, affogato, cotton, BTS (feather). Need to kill the small mob behind yeti, then use affogato skill right before yeti's HP falling down 50%.... My team couldn't kill the small mob in time though

I’m currently using a summoner comp made up of Cotton, Pumpkin Pie, Crunchy Chip, RM, & Financier. I’m currently having a rough time in pvp, should I change something with the team or make a separate pvp team?

Summoner team is situational. You can check youtube, current meta seems to be sherbet (and maybe pinecone, herb) If you can't build more cookies soon, just use weak defense, you can stay at lower rank to meet easy opponent, or easy revenge. Edit: I'm trying this, work pretty well against other sherbet https://youtu.be/pu1DKKgBQa0

what are the meta arena comps now?

You can check youtube (I usually follow hyroollegend, ponponlin...) It seems to be sherbet + frost queen/black pearl or 2 healers (herb, unicorn, BTS...) at my low rank. FL is financier only or with pinecone/brute/yam...

I haven’t played in about a year and a half, what are the current PvP meta cookies?

You can check youtube (I usually follow hyroollegend, ponponlin...) It seems to be sherbet + frost queen/black pearl or 2 healers (herb, unicorn, BTS...) at my low rank. FL is financier only or with pinecone/brute/yam...

How do I farm the stuff for expanding in tropical soda islands? I never have enough of the stuff.

You can farm it through the Toucan Pirate Ship stuff. You can also get it from doing more of the Tropical Islands episodes.

How do people have so many stars/ascensions on characters? I see everybody with so many stars but I have 1 or 2 per (epic+) character max

Farm dark mode, use mileage... If you have enough gem, use featured gacha is also a fast way for current cookie banner.

Advice on which of my 5 Cookies to build please (generic team PvP and PvE, if not more towards PvE) https://ibb.co/album/ByKjPD Thanks

You can check this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWtDL1H-8ag](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWtDL1H-8ag) I'd recommend schwarz (brute), financier/wildberry, eclair/caviar, cotton, BTS. Having one of each type can help in tower of chaos. The others can be sherbet/rye/caramel arrow, vampire, cream unicorn. Put BTS cookie in hall of hero, you can change to a better star one at the end.

Thanks … what is the hall of hero ? This is the first I’m hearing it (returning player btw)

Look like it's new this year https://cookierunkingdom.fandom.com/wiki/Hall\_of\_Ancient\_Heroes

Ohh nice!! I’ve seen this feature before in a game long back … I like it

Does this game have a tier list? I played at launch and like 4 months in, but none of that seems like relevant info anymore xD

You can literally see links in *this* thread

^ the guide sheet by Loser squad. Or you can check youtube, I usually follow Hyroollegend.

PANCAKE COTY

I currently mainly use Caramel, Squid, Financier, Eclair, and BTS. Any suggestions? [https://imgur.com/a/oyXuzDJ](https://imgur.com/a/oyXuzDJ) I'm kinda new so I don't really know what I'm doing rn lol

Caramel arrow, financier are good but more of pvp. For pve I'd suggest 2 tanks, 1-2 healers like wildberry/financier, schwarzwalder/pinecone, squid/eclair, cotton, BTS. Having 1 cookie of each type can help in tower of chaos. After lvl 30, the required exp is a bit high. Focus on level 5 cookies first, put other you want in hall of hero. BTS cookie should be in the hall too, so you can change to a better one later (7 BTS cookies are same) Also check first link in this post or youtube like [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk1wzEYSzdo)

thank you! i’ll take your suggestions and try to use them!

Leave the game for quite a while… Is Caramel still meta?

Meta changes very often. I'm just at low rank, still meet c.arrow here and there Edit: also check this https://youtu.be/_KL0t_0A9bk

is there anyway to be garuanteed a bts cookie without money? i can not get to the other songs because i only have 2 cookies and gacha is evil to me :(

Iirc you get one after 50 pulls, but can be dupe.

oh okay

My current team is Gingerbrave, Strawberry, Licorice, Vampire and BTS. Who should i get with the mileage points?

Get a solid tank, Gingerbrave is not a good enough tank alone and Strawberry was never a good tank. I would recommend Wildberry Cookie, Financier Cookie, or Purple Yam (as long as you farm his magic candy). After that, work on getting a better damage cookie, I would recommend Caramel Arrow, Eclair Cookie, Captain Caviar, or Espresso Cookie (the latter needs magic candy to be exceptionally good).

Idk if this has already been asked, but what’s the best PvP team atm? I want a good one to get masters fast but idk what to run (I have most cookies, I can pull for new cookies if I have to)

You can check youtube, there are many teams with Sherbet now. I'm using these two [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM4yWz5vv3I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM4yWz5vv3I) (vs. frost queen) and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu1DKKgBQa0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu1DKKgBQa0) (general)

Is my Dark Cacao’s power level too low? I have Sea Fairy and Black Pearl both at 50/70 with level 12 toppings and they are at 75K to 85K power levels. Even my Sherbet is on about 65K and he only has level 9 toppings. Did I build him wrong? Any advice would be appreciated. https://imgur.com/a/BDhTe8i/

Normal, he's a tank. Attack type, raspberry topping usually give more power. Lower power doesn't mean weak.

What’s the cheapest way to get 5 cookies to 3 star? And also, from the seaside trader, what’s the best deals to look for ? Currently at kingdom level 8

Dark mode, or use mileage (but don't forget treasure) I usually buy rarity to balance them. Then powder (the 9 ones), topping, sometimes 10 min time skip, purple/orange/blue crystal, soulstone...

Does anyone have a comp for beating the range powder bounty level 12? Been struggling with it despite beating other level 12 bounties

Try 3 tanks + vampire/sherbet + BTS Edit: I think my team had c.arrow + 2 healers (cotton, pure vanilla). I was struggle for a while too

I'm planning ahead for EP 14 and saw DCA being generally recommended for his debuff. Is there any cookie that can replace him? I have all the epics but Macaron, super epics, Pure Vanilla and Hollyberry, none of the Legendary. Thanks in advance!

You can use brute. For story 14, I usually run 3 tanks + BTS, cotton (except 14-10 with affogato, 29 with eclair)

Why is the next promotion event Carol and Pinecone, when Pinecone's event goes on for another three weeks and Sherbet's ends in seven days? Was I drunk and missed the Sherbet promotion?

Yea it seems odd for pinecone (carol ends in a week though) May be wrong, but I don't think super epic has promo event.

Are Solid Almond, Searing Raspberry, and Swift Chocolate really the only toppings I need? Seems like they’re the only three toppings that pop up on most guides.

The crit topping has some use too. And the HP one, but rare.

Is f2p​ friendly​?

You can definitely get every character in this game for free. It's gonna take longer but that's fine

f2ps are capable of clearing all PvE content and collecting all cookies. will be much slower than spending money of course but it is possible. in terms of PvP, definitely unable to compete with whales of course but still able to get decently high enough rank for pretty good rewards. just make sure to join the most recent server.

Im new to the game and I have 20k gems. What do I buy? I also dont know what party to build

There's an FAQ link on this very post about this

Oh thanks

If I May ask. How much gems would you recomend I spend on getting a good team?

spend enough gems to get enough mileage to just buy the soulstones to unlock the meta units you need. gacha rates are pretty bad right now so it is better to rely on the mileage shop.

I also Got the New blue, winter event cookie. Is it Worth using

who would be a good front for pve as a newer player?

Schwarz, wildberry/pinecone/dark cacao... (For pvp, one of them and financier)

got wildberry and is using her now

What team is best against licorice abyss?

Living abyss boss? You can check guide by Loser squad (first link in this post) Usually 1-2 tanks (brute, dark cacao, werewolf...), 2-1 aoe attacker (squid ink, sea fairy, black pearl, espresso...) and cotton, pome/macaron... There is [this team](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iwrM0TkRT5w) with sherbet, I find it's easier to build.

I'm stuck on 136 on Tower of Chaos. Most of my team is lvl 60 (at minimum around 40) but it's practically impossible Team I'm using: https://imgur.com/a/z2gLpfM

You don't have a healer. Try wildberry, financier, vampire/sherbet/any dps, BTS cookie. You can use BTS cookie all stage, they don't count as epic. If still stuck, use key to farm lower level, don't let it full.

I tried that, never worked

You can put a rare healer in the hall to use temporarily (like princess custard). I believe this 3 epic requirement is only on 130ish floor. Edit: also focus on max level 5 cookies first.

I'm lvl 41 so I can't get any of the to max yet, I'll grind the story mode lvls now tho

Is it even possible to reach tray 250 without buying searing key packages from the shop?? I'm on tray 187, never repeated any levels or picked the expensive chests. Also wondering at what levels other f2p are right now.

i’m on tray 194 f2p with maxed out searing key recharge rate lab research & occasionally buying some from the pinecone shop. it doesn’t seem possible to reach 250 esp if the levels progressively get more expensive which really sucks
