Candy Apple Cookie is a recent character introduced in Cookie Run: Kingdom as the partner of Shadow Milk Cookie during the "Spire of Shadows" update. Known for her clever tactics and penchant for deception, she adds a new layer of excitement to the game.
As a bomber cookie, Candy Apple typically occupies the middle row during battles. If Shadow Milk Cookie is also on her team, she’ll engage in unique dialogue with him at the start of each fight. Despite her role as a sidekick, Candy Apple Cookie is a powerful damage dealer and can enhance her team’s effectiveness with valuable buffs. This raises the question: what toppings and beascuits should you equip her with to maximize her potential?
Which Toppings Are Best For Candy Apple?
Candy Apple Cookie Should Be Equipped With Swift Chocolate or Deceitful Chocolate Toppings
When using her special ability, "Apple of My Eye," Candy Apple Cookie attacks foes by crashing a large lollipop onto them, dealing damage and applying debuffs. After this initial strike, the lollipop breaks apart, causing additional damage, providing HP shields to allies, and boosting their attack. To make the most of this ability, it’s important to focus on reducing her cooldown time. This strategy allows her to weaken enemies quickly while enhancing her teammates’ combat effectiveness.
In a series of my own tests, I found that while equipping her with Searing Raspberries resulted in higher individual damage, choosing Swift Chocolates led to a stronger overall performance for my team.
Swift Chocolate toppings are optimal for achieving the desired cooldown reduction. Similarly, Candy Apple can also benefit from Deceitful toppings, though Searing Raspberries are a solid alternative for increasing damage output. Generally speaking, cooldown is the preferred attribute so she can continuously buff the team—especially if she’s paired with another strong damage dealer. When selecting topping pieces, prioritize substats for attack and cooldown.
Which Beascuits Are Best For Candy Apple?
Focus On Damage And Cooldown
As a bomber cookie, Candy Apple benefits significantly from a Spicy Beascuit. When upgrading her beascuit, consider incorporating a mix of buffs. While you can aim for a cooldown-focused build, adding bonuses for attack and damage resistance can also be advantageous.
One crucial buff to prioritize when adjusting beascuit stats is damage resistance. This becomes especially important in arenas where opponents may bypass your defensive cookies. Given that Candy Apple Cookie possesses relatively low base defense as a bomber, she needs all the help she can get to survive. In Cookie Run: Kingdom, by properly building Candy Apple, you can turn her into a formidable damage dealer while bolstering her entire team with timely cooldowns.
