The landscape of standard teams in Cookie Run: Kingdom is always evolving. Recently, however, we witnessed a surprising comeback in the meta with Vampire Cookie following the latest update. It’s been ages since he was a familiar face in the Kingdom Arena, but his unexpected synergy with Eternal Sugar Cookie has greatly boosted his popularity. It’s refreshing to see cookies of lower rarities gaining traction in arena rankings, especially for Free-to-Play players who now have better options.
Vampire Cookie is one of the original characters in CRK, having been part of the game since its launch. He belongs to the first cookie legion, making appearances in many short stories. Unlike traditional vampires that feast on blood, Vampire Cookie survives on grape juice, a twist that comes from witches who mixed aged grapes into his dough instead of the fresh ones used for his sister, Alchemist Cookie. So, how should you build Vampire Cookie in this new environment of Cookie Run: Kingdom?
Best Toppings for Vampire Cookie
Searing Raspberries: The Top Choice
To effectively use Vampire Cookie, you’ll need to develop and upgrade his magic candy, transforming his standard “Vampirism” skill into “Fatal Bite.” Upgrading his candy to at least level ten grants him a one-time revival per battle, similar to what Shadow Milk Cookie and Fire Spirit Cookie can do, although with less health upon revival. I highly recommend reaching this level before taking him into battle.
When activating “Fatal Bite,” Vampire Cookie morphs into a bat and delivers a powerful strike to the enemy positioned at the back. This attack inflicts the “Vampiric Bite” debuff, which deals ongoing damage proportional to Vampire Cookie’s attack stat and ensures his skill always hits critically against the target suffering from this debuff. This means that you should steer clear of topping and biscuit substats that enhance critical hit chance, while focusing on increasing critical damage instead.
Since he can’t utilize any resonant toppings, the ideal topping for Vampire Cookie is Searing Raspberries, along with an epic raspberry topping tart. Given his ongoing damage capability and increased offense towards his target, cooldown reduction isn’t a priority. Enhancing his regular attack will not only amplify his damage output but also improve the HP he receives back—attack speed substats will further expedite his healing process.
Best Biscuits for Vampire Cookie
A Legendary Crispy Biscuit with Attack-Based Substats
As an ambush cookie like Choco Drizzle Cookie, Vampire Cookie will gain significant benefits from using a legendary crispy biscuit. Currently, his attacks don’t tie to any specific element, even though he would excel in poison or darkness categories; therefore, a non-elemental biscuit is the best option. Like his toppings, focus solely on attack and critical hit damage substats.
Good Biscuit Stats for Vampire Cookie:
- Attack
- Critical Hit Damage
- Damage Resistance Bypass
- Attack Speed
- Damage Resist
If you find that his skill gets interrupted often, you might consider dedicating one biscuit substat to reducing his cooldown, but this shouldn’t be your primary focus. Additional valuable substats to aim for include damage resistance and damage resistance bypass. Vampire Cookie proves to be surprisingly effective in the current arena of Cookie Run: Kingdom, and pairing him with Eternal Sugar Cookie—if you have her—is definitely worth a try.
