Almond Cookie: An Epic Addition to Cookie Run: Kingdom
Almond Cookie is a highly sought-after character introduced in the "Beacons of Unity" update of Cookie Run: Kingdom. He has captured the hearts of players with his significant role in the guild battles and his unique character, blending a witty, sarcastic exterior with a warm, caring nature. Interestingly, Almond Cookie is among the few characters from CRK who has made their way into the playable roster of Ovenbreak.
As a support cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom, Almond Cookie typically occupies a rear position on the team. He shines in the early levels of world exploration and is most commonly paired with characters like Gingerbrave and Tiger Lily Cookie. However, his utility has diminished somewhat, making him less necessary in current gameplay, though his skill can still pack quite a punch when properly utilized. So, what’s the best way to enhance Almond Cookie’s abilities in Cookie Run: Kingdom?
Essential Toppings for Almond Cookie
Almond Toppings: The Optimal Choice
Almond Cookie’s skill, Almond Handcuffs, targets the enemy with the lowest health, primarily focusing on cookies. This skill deals a substantial amount of earth damage and spreads a portion of this damage to up to five connected enemies.
This link damage is uninterruptible. However, with the introduction of new cookies, Almond Cookie’s impact in battles has lessened, especially in the arena. There’s a potential for change, though, as he may receive a magic candy in the future; this could make his damage distribution ability seem overpowered on paper.
Almond Cookie is currently featured in a special Boss Rush setup alongside Cream Puff and Latte Cookie. While he can inflict significant damage, he often struggles as the sole damage dealer. In situations where his damage linking is beneficial, keeping the effect active for the longest duration is crucial. Equipping him with Swift Chocolates can help reduce cooldowns. Solid Almond toppings are also advisable due to his relatively low defense, making him vulnerable in battles. A mix of both types, or focusing on cooldown substats for the almond toppings, will optimize his performance.
Best Beascuits for Almond Cookie
Legendary Heart Beascuit: Focus on Damage Resistance
Almond Cookie’s skills revolve around earth damage, making a Legendary Earthen Hearty Beascuit a perfect fit. He can further capitalize on this by teaming up with the Awakened Golden Cheese Cookie as the leader. If you find that you lack adequate defense or cooldown stats, consider utilizing a non-elemental Beascuit to gain additional beneficial substats. Similar to toppings, look for cooldown and damage resistance substats in your Beascuits.
Additionally, substats that increase his durability, such as defense, HP, and debuff resistance, can prove advantageous. Damage resistance, in particular, is highly effective for ensuring cookies endure battles. While attack and attack speed can further enhance his abilities, they may shorten his lifespan in battle. Even though Almond Cookie doesn’t currently dominate many competitive teams and isn’t the top support option, his popularity among fans remains high. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him receive improvements or a magic candy in the future for Cookie Run: Kingdom.
