Best Alternative Artifacts for Sting Durian Cookie

For artifacts there is an interesting mechanic in play in CookieRun Tower of Adventure – you can freely use artifacts since they are not limited to certain classes or cookies. Of course, they are designed towards a certain cookie or class, but sometimes other artifacts also work really well – here are our test results with the other artifacts:

Aw Yeah Patrol Time

Sunset Pursuit

Artistic Flourish

Warriors Oath

Newest Formula

Little Spark Big BOOM

Reciprocity

Best Equipment Items Each Slot) for Sting Durian Cookie

Also for equipment there are many options you can use before upgrading a gear item. The secret here is not to use the gear that appears strongest, since upgrading the gear will be your bottleneck. Our strategy here gives you the best order of gear items you should use and how much to upgrade them to really make sense.

Best Weapon

Let’s start with the weapon slot.

Toothless Bread Knife - Level 1 this is the best uncommon weapon to use but to be fair you can use any and get the most out of it and you will swap it out soon anyway. Do not level it up, it's a waste of resources

Wooden Practice Sword - Level 1 is so perfect since the extra ability will scale perfectly with Sting Durian Cookies kit of dealing enhanced besic attack damage which gets enhanced by multiple with that

Wooden Practice Sword - Level 40 is so good that I actually recommend skipping the blue weapon altogether and just max this green weapon out. It works better than any maxed blue weapon on him

Golden Orange Choco Spear - Level 15 when you make the jump to the epic weapon, this is your choice with the way Sting Durian Cookies kit works. Be aware that to make the epic weapon as effective as the maxed out green one in this order, you have to upgrade the Golden Orange Choco Spear to Leel 15

Golden Orange Choco Spear - Level 40 upgrading it all to the max is a little excessive here but also wouldn't hurt if you want to invest. She is such an importan carry that it's worth it but you can also manage your resources and go for Level 40 and call it a day until you get her unique weapon

Durian Bazooka - Level 10 is the best (I mean it's designed for him so it better be) but primarily for the unique ability that scales incredible well through his kit. Upgrade it a little if you come from a maxed epic weapon!

Durian Bazooka - Max absolutely max that one out, every small percentage goes a long way with the scalers in Sting Durian Cookies kit

Best Headwear

Now let’s have a look at the hat slot:

Old-fashioned Cap - Level 1 is very likely the most stable uncommon headgear equipment for Sting Durian Cookie but you can actually pick whatever you have since you will replace it very soon. No need to level it up

Apprentices Cone Cap - Level 1 is the common gear item we recommend for this slot. Also here, there is no real reason to invest into upgrading it since nothing is too special and you will replace it soon enough

Choco Cake Top Hat - Level 1 is the blue gear and considering the fact how much you will do with it this is the first headgear item you actually should level up to some degree

Choco Cake Top Hat - Level 30-40 this is an upgrade that makes sense but I wouldn't recommend maxing it out completely. The stats scale well with the kit

Best Bodywear

Now let’s have a look at the chest slot:

Warm Brown Sweater - Level 1 in terms of stats this makes most sense but you would only use this really early and swap out soon so don't beat yourself up if you don't use it

Hardened Chocoleather Armor - Level 1 is the green gear item that makes most sense here with her. I also wouldn't really bother upgrading it to be honest since the stats you gain are quite small and you will not use it for too long

Rusty Chainmail - Level 1 is a nice improvement from the green one, even at Level 1 unless you upgraded the green chest piece. Nothing too wild overall but scales her kit nicely

Rusty Chainmail - Level 30 Also here, upgrading is looking at the biggest picture not that neccessary but if you use him as a main damage dealer, it is worth it. You decide how your resources are looking and if you do upgrade to something like Level 30 it's not a big issue overall and will have some effect

Best Legwear

Now let’s have a look at the legs slot:

Easy Jeans - Level 1 are alright and the only common legwear gear that have ATK on them so use them. I wouldn't upgrade them, though

Hardwood Shin Guards - Level 1 are a nice improvement in ATK compared to the common ones and the ones you will wear quite a bit

Hardwood Shin Guards - Level 30 I recommend to max them out since there is no blue gear that makes sense so skip any blue legwear that comes your way here and rather max the green ones out

Aurum Dragon Armor - Level 1 is a nice improvement from the even maxed green legwear and scale best throughout her skills and kit overall
