Cookie Run: Kingdom's extensive roster of over 130 cookies presents diverse strategic options for both PvE and PvP gameplay. This guide highlights top-performing cookies for each mode, offering insights into team composition and optimal usage scenarios. While focusing on the best, we also acknowledge strong alternatives for players lacking specific meta cookies. For a complete tier list, consult our dedicated Cookie Run: Kingdom tier list.

Top PvE Cookies:

PvE success hinges on a balanced team with robust DPS, consistent sustain, and effective crowd control. The ideal PvE team efficiently clears waves, endures prolonged battles, and boasts strong synergy.

• Golden Cheese Cookie: A premier AoE damage dealer, excelling at eliminating large enemy groups. Her Golden Lightning Strike delivers substantial burst damage while simultaneously weakening enemy defenses, boosting allied damage output.

Honorable Mentions (PvE):

Several cookies, while not reaching the top tier, offer viable alternatives:

• Sea Fairy Cookie: Although surpassed by newer wave-clearers, she remains a strong boss-killer.
• Sorbet Shark Cookie: Provides excellent single-target burst damage, ideal for elite enemies but less effective against large waves.
• Madeleine Cookie: A sturdy frontline tank, suitable for defensive team compositions, but less effective damage mitigation than top-tier defenders like Holyberry Cookie.
• Mango Cookie: Offers AoE magic damage, suitable for early to mid-game, but falls behind in later stages.
• Black Lemonade Cookie: Provides crowd control and damage amplification, but lacks the raw damage of top-tier PvE units; best used as a secondary pick.

Top PvP Cookies: (Note: PvP cookie selections are omitted from the original text, only honorable mentions are provided.)

Honorable Mentions (PvP):

• Squid Ink Cookie: Strong AoE magic damage, effective against grouped enemies, but struggles against high-resistance opponents. Benefits from debuffers.
• Space Doughnut Cookie: A disruptive unit, knocking back and disorienting enemies. Requires specific team setups for maximum effectiveness.
• Herb Cookie: Offers team-wide healing and debuff cleansing, countering status-heavy teams, but lacks the burst sustain of Pure Vanilla or Parfait Cookie.
• Green Tea Mousse Cookie: Delivers high single-target damage, but slower than burst attackers like Wind Archer Cookie. Useful against sustain-heavy teams.
• Sherbet Cookie: Applies consistent freeze-based damage over time, but lacks the burst damage to instantly eliminate threats, hindering performance at higher Arena ranks.
