Black Sapphire Cookie made his debut in Cookie Run: Kingdom in February 2025 following his appearances on loading screens and promotional materials. You can explore more about him in the recent episode of Beast-Yeast, episode eight. He is featured alongside Shadow Milk and Candy Apple Cookie as part of the “Deceitful Trio.”
This latest character in Cookie Run: Kingdom functions as a support cookie positioned at the center of the team. Although there are other cookies better suited for healing, investing in Black Sapphire is beneficial, especially in game modes that emphasize team synergy or elemental damage. So, what’s the best way to maximize the potential of this crafty cookie?
What are the Best Toppings for Black Sapphire Cookie?
Epic Swift Chocolates or Deceitful Chocolates
As with many support and healing cookies, Black Sapphire Cookie performs optimally with chocolate toppings. While standard Swift chocolate toppings are effective, he can also benefit from deceitful toppings to enhance his healing and buffs for the team. He does deal some damage, but on his own, it’s not significant enough to warrant using other toppings like searing raspberries. Focusing on boosting his poison effect is more advantageous.
Having Black Sapphire on the battlefield greatly amplifies the damage output of other poison-type cookies.
When teamed up with Shadow Milk Cookie and Candy Apple Cookie, they trigger the “Deceitful Trio” passive ability, akin to the “Team Drizzle” effect activated by pairing Choco Drizzle, Green Tea Mousse, and Pudding à la Mode Cookie together. This synergy allows Candy Apple Cookie to push foes backwards while boosting both her healing abilities and Shadow Milk’s skills. For topping substats, prioritize Amplify Buff to enhance team strength, particularly in the Deceitful Trio setup.
During my experience using Black Sapphire in arena practice mode, I noticed that he can be eliminated quickly. This is particularly true when pitted against powerful cookies from the ancient, beast, or legendary classifications. Nevertheless, my team with Black Sapphire often scraped through the battles, even comparing him to a more conventional damage dealer like Moonlight Cookie, whom I substituted out for him. It’s wise to choose toppings that enhance damage resistance, helping him stay alive longer during confrontations.
What are the Best Beascuits for Black Sapphire Cookie?
A Beascuit with Poison-Focused Substats
As a support cookie, Black Sapphire utilizes hearty beascuits. His primary skill boosts the poison damage that enemies incur along with the damage he inflicts. This means he performs best with a legendary tainted poisonous hearty beascuit, or at least a beascuit that augments poison damage. Fortunately, you can acquire legendary tainted poisonous and radiant beascuits from Shadow Milk Cookie’s limited-time Beast Raid shop.
Key Beascuit Substats for Black Sapphire:
- Cooldown
- Amplify Buff
- Poison Damage
- Damage/Crit Resist
Just like with toppings, reducing his cooldown time is crucial; it initially lasts 15 seconds, which can be quite lengthy in game modes like the arena where rounds only total around a minute and a half. Despite being somewhat overshadowed by the newly released awakened Pure Vanilla cookie during the same update, Black Sapphire Cookie is a distinctive support option, adding a unique flair to your team in Cookie Run: Kingdom.
