Cookie Run Kingdom uses toppings as their main equipment for the cookies. Different cookies use different toppings, but what is the best topping for each cookie?
If you are already familiar with other gacha games, they usually choose equipment like armor, gear, weapon, artifact, etc. All of them are basically the same. They have the same purpose, which is improving the stats of your characters.
And the good thing is, by applying this kind of method, Cookie Run Kingdom is actually easier and simpler than other RPG games.
You don’t need to combine this artifact with this weapon to get the best result, all you need to do is choose your best topping for your cute cookies.
In order to make it easier for you in case you don’t have the topping, I also put the alternative. So without any further, let’s start this topping guide.

All Topping Tier List (From Best to Mediocre)
For me, not only cookies that have a tier list, toppings in the Cookie Run Kingdom also need that too. Why? because some of these toppings are too good if we compare them to the others.
The balance is broken because of these toppings. I put my main weight on this list by their flexibility. How good are these toppings to use from one to other cookies without losing their power.
But keep in mind, being mediocre toppings doesn’t mean that it is bad, and not recommended to use. They are still usable for some cookies. However, this kind of case is very rare to see.
In the end, top-tier toppings are always the number 1 priority for the majority of cookies.
I will classify this topping list into three categories: best, high, and mediocre. With best as the top tier, and mediocre as the lowest tier.
Best Tier Toppings in Cookie Run Kingdom
Swift Chocolate (CD Reduction)
The best topping overall, no debate. You can use Swift Chocolate almost in any cookies in the Cookie Run Kingdom. Meaning, no matter what role those cookies have, you still can use it for them.
That’s why I put this topping in the number 1, flexibility is one of the most important things when we decide which is the best and the worse.
You can get Swift Chocolate Topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-3, 6-8, 6-13, 6-18, 6-23, 6-28, 7-5, 7-10, 7-15, 7-20, 7-25, 7-30, 8-5, 8-10, 8-15, 8-20, 8-25.
- Dark Mode: 4-7, 4-14, 4-21, 4-27, 5-7, 5-14, 5-21, 5-27, 6-7, 6-14, 6-21, 6-27.
High Tier Toppings in Cookie Run Kingdom
Solid Almond (DMG Resist)
If you think this topping only benefit front cookies, my answer is no, actually. You can use this topping almost in every role in this mobile game.
Yes, I know the best one to use this is defense cookies, but still, toughness is very important in this game. Some enemies can instantly kill you in a matter of seconds, and Solid Almond helps you to prevent that.
What cookies can die instantly? the squishy ones, like support especially.
You can get this Solid Almond Topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-1, 6-6, 6-11, 6-16, 6-21, 6-26, 7-3, 7-8, 7-13, 7-18, 7-23, 7-28, 8-3, 8-8, 8-18, 8-23.
- Dark Mode: 4-5, 4-12, 4-19, 4-26, 5-5, 5-13, 5-20, 5-26, 6-5, 6-13, 6-20, 6-26.
Searing Raspberry (ATK)
Same as Solid Almond Topping, you can use Searing Raspberry not only for DPS cookies. Some support even can use this topping too because of their skill, especially their heal scale from ATK.
This is literally your best alternative for most healers in case you don’t have good Swift Chocolate Topping.
And if we talk about DPS cookies, of course, you will get a lot of improvement with Searing Raspberry.
You can get Searing Raspberry Topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-2, 6-7, 6-12, 6-17, 6-22, 6-27, 7-4, 7-9, 7-14, 7-19, 7-24, 7-29, 8-4, 8-9, 8-14, 8-19, 8-24.
- Dark Mode: 4-1, 4-8, 4-15, 4-22, 5-1, 5-8, 5-16, 5-22, 6-1, 6-8, 6-16, 6-22.
Mediocre Tier Topping in Cookie Run Kingdom
Juicy Apple Jelly (Crit Rate)
This kind of buff is OP in other RPG games, but not in Cookie Run Kingdom.
With Crit Rate you can literally double or even triple your damage per second, but because this game is kinda simple, that thing doesn’t really useful.
Increasing your raw damage using Searing Raspberry is still better for most damager cookies.
You can get Juicy Apple Jelly Topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-5, 6-10, 6-15, 6-20, 6-25, 7-2, 7-7, 7-12, 7-17, 7-22, 7-27, 8-2, 8-7, 8-12, 8-17, 8-22, 8-27.
- Dark Mode: 4-4, 4-11, 4-18, 4-25, 5-4, 5-11, 5-18, 5-25, 6-4, 6-11, 6-18, 6-25.
Healthy Peanut (HP)
Increasing your HP means that you increase your cookies’ toughness, but unfortunately, because Cookie Run Kingdom create Solid Almond, this topping loses its popularity.
What happens here is the opposite of the relationship between Searing Raspberry and Juicy Apple Jelly, if in that case players prefer to use raw stats, in here, players prefer to use baked stats.
DMG Resist is just too good to be true for almost any cookies if we talk about toughness.
You can get Healthy Peanut topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-4 6-9, 6-14, 6-19, 6-24, 7-1, 7-6, 7-11, 7-16, 7-21, 7-26, 8-1, 8-6, 8-11, 8-16, 8-21, 8-26.
- Dark Mode: 4-2, 4-10, 4-17, 4-23, 5-2, 5-10, 5-17, 5-24, 6-2, 6-10, 6-17, 6-24.
Hard Walnut (DEF)
Just like Healthy Peanut, Hard Walnut has the same problem because of how good Solid Almond is.
DEF is on par with HP in most gacha games, but DMG Resist is on another level.
You can get Hard Walnut Topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-3, 6-8, 6-13, 6-18, 6-23, 6-28, 7-5, 7-10, 7-15, 7-20, 7-25, 7-30, 8-5, 8-10, 8-15, 8-20, 8-25.
- Dark Mode: 4-7, 4-14, 4-21, 4-27, 5-7, 5-14, 5-21, 5-27, 6-7, 6-14, 6-21, 6-27.
Fresh Kiwi (Debuff Resist)
Debuff Resist can be good, but the question is, in what situation? more importantly, how often is that situation gonna happen?
The answer may depend on each player’s perspective. But for me, I don’t really need it, and if I need it, I prefer to use cookies.
You can get Fresh Kiwi Topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-5, 6-10, 6-15, 6-20, 6-25, 7-2, 7-7, 7-12, 7-17, 7-22, 7-27, 8-2, 8-7, 8-12, 8-17, 8-22, 8-27.
- Dark Mode: 4-4, 4-11, 4-18, 4-25, 5-4, 5-11, 5-18, 5-25, 6-4, 6-11, 6-18, 6-25.
Hearty Hazelnut (Crit Resist)
This topping is kinda similar to Fresh Kiwi. Yes, you can increase your toughness, but only in some scenarios.
Because we rarely see people gonna use Crit Rate build, this topping probably even worse than Fresh Kiwi.
You can get Hearty Hazelnut Topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-2, 6-7, 6-12, 6-17, 6-22, 6-27, 7-4, 7-9, 7-14, 7-19, 7-24, 7-29, 8-4, 8-9, 8-14, 8-19, 8-24.
- Dark Mode: 4-1, 4-8, 4-15, 4-22, 5-1, 5-8, 5-16, 5-22, 6-1, 6-8, 6-16, 6-22.
Sweet Candy (Amplify Buff)
You can only use this on support cookies most of the time, even though you still need to decide on which is better between Sweet Candy and Swift Chocolate.
And I think you already know the answer.
You can get Sweet Candy Topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-4, 6-9, 6-14, 6-19, 6-24, 7-1, 7-6, 7-11, 7-16, 7-21, 7-26, 8-1, 8-6, 8-11, 8-16, 8-21, 8-26.
- Dark Mode: 4-2, 4-10, 4-17, 4-23, 5-2, 5-10, 5-17, 5-24, 6-2, 6-10, 6-17, 6-24.
Bouncy Caramel (ATK SPD)
This buff is good, but only if you use a specific cookie like Lilac Cookie that can buff your entire allies’ ATK SPD.
Other than that, you don’t really need this topping.
You can get Bouncy Caramel Topping from:
- Normal Mode: 6-1, 6-6, 6-11, 6-16, 6-21, 6-26, 7-3, 7-8, 7-13, 7-18, 7-23, 7-28, 8-3, 8-8, 8-13, 8-18, 8-23.
- Dark Mode: 4-5, 4-12, 4-19, 4-26, 5-5, 5-13, 5-20, 5-26, 6-5, 6-13, 6-20, 6-26.
