Pumpkin Pie Cookie Overview
Pumpkin Pie Cookie made her debut during the Halloween Masquerade update, which introduced the costume feature to Cookie Run: Kingdom. Although she belongs to the game’s second wave of cookies, she remains a fan favorite due to her festive Jack-o-Lantern design and her charming partnership with her magical doll companion, Pompon. While the 2021 Halloween event has concluded, players can still access her storyline as a special entry in the Tower of Records.
This cookie specializes in magic and typically occupies the middle position in battles. Since her introduction, she hasn’t seen substantial buffs or updates, causing her to lag behind other epic cookies in the competitive arena of Cookie Run: Kingdom. Currently, she hasn’t been equipped with a magic candy. So how can players optimize Pumpkin Pie Cookie to compete effectively in this evolving game?
Best Toppings for Pumpkin Pie Cookie
Solid Almonds: The Top Choice
As one of the more recognizable summoner cookies, Pumpkin Pie Cookie pairs well with the Seamstress’ Pin Cushion treasure. When she activates her skill, she calls forth Pompon, who enlarges and deals area damage to foes.
Pumpkin Pie Cookie benefits from a reduced cooldown at the beginning of battles, allowing her to summon Pompon almost instantly. Given that most of her damage output comes from Pompon, she thrives with Searing Raspberry toppings, especially in the game’s initial stages.
While the Seamstress’ Pin Cushion doesn’t rank as the top treasure, it enhances the attack stat and duration of all summoned entities, making it ideal for boosting both Pompon and Pumpkin Pie.
However, as the game progresses, Solid Almonds become her premier choice. In practice arena tests, she tends to be somewhat fragile, with Pompon typically enduring longer than she does. While players might consider reducing her cooldown to keep Pompon in play, this strategy is less effective in the current arena. Numerous cookies can target her despite having multiple front liners defend her. Prioritize toppings that enhance attack substats but ensure she has sufficient damage resistance for sustained effectiveness.
Best Beascuits for Pumpkin Pie Cookie
A Legendary Zesty Beascuit with Damage Resistance
Given that Pompon’s attack inflicts dark damage, Pumpkin Pie Cookie can greatly benefit from a cursed legendary Zesty Beascuit. She also synergizes well with dark-type cookies like the Awakened Dark Cacao Cookie. For players who prefer not to focus solely on damage output, a neutral Beascuit can also work well. Similar to her toppings, prioritize damage resistance as she remains vulnerable even when fully equipped with almond toppings.
In terms of overall boosts, increases in attack, defense, and HP are advisable. Although Pumpkin Pie Cookie has seen a decline in mainstream viability since her release, her unique charm makes her a fun choice. While investing magic powder in stronger cookies like Shadow Milk Cookie might be more practical, she still serves as a valuable asset in specific scenarios and can contribute significantly during world exploration in Cookie Run: Kingdom.
