Best Cookies in CookieRun Tower of Adventures

Are you wondering what cookies to actually build and run in CookieRun: Tower of Adventures? Well, they all have unique skills and abilities and also the way you combine them make a huge impact. I tried to make a list that gives you a good indication which ones to focus on to not spend resources on a cookie that will definately not run well later in the game.

Attention! If you played the beta of CookieRun Tower of Adventures please note that some cookies got changed for the official release so this is why this list now looks a little bit different.

By the way, since not all is about individual strengths in this game, please also check out my team guide here.

Which Are The Best Cookies in CookieRun Tower of Adventures?

Without further ado, let’s get right into the list of the cookies in CookieRun Tower of Adventures and how well they work right now:

Cream Soda Cookie

S+

Very good damage dealer and one of the few must-have cookies in the game in my opinion.

Role:Fighter/Slash

Element:Water

Best Build

Dark Choco Cookie

S+

Massive damage dealer and the ultimate really crushes enemies reliably.

Role:Fighter/Slash

Element:Dark

Best Build

Rye Cookie

S

Nerfed from beta but still a ton of area damage makes it stand out in CookieRun Tower of Adventures.

Role:Righter/Ranged

Element:Wind

Best Build

Chili Pepper Cookie

S

The dash is super helpful and she also deals quite some damage overall.

Role:Fighter/Slash

Element:Fire

Best Build

Wizard Cookie

S

Great area damage dealing cookie.

Role:Tagger/Magic

Element:Light

Best Build

Chamomile Cookie

A+

Free for every player that starts out (I think if you pre-registered) - she is incredible as support cookie in your team when you can swap her in, use her ultimate and healing and then switch back and your team is right back on track. Superhelpful in so many situations..

Role:Support/Assist

Element:Wind

Best Build

Rockstar Cookie

A+

Great healing cookie.

Role:Support/Assist

Element:Water

Plantain Cookie

A

Doesn't shine like other epic cookies but is for sure a solid one, escially better than the rare ones.

Role:Tagger/Smash

Element:Wind

Sting Durian Cookie

A

Pretty sweet area damage but can't keep up with the top cookies in the game.

Role:Fighter/Ranged

Element:Earth

Best Build

Crushed Pepper Cookie

A

Great tank cookie overall.

Role:Support/Smash

Element:Fire

Best Build

Gumball Cookie

A

Alright area damage but only really working in early game in Cookie Run Tower of Adventures as damage dealer - later becomes the partner-in-crime as debuffer and damage enabler for Cream Soda Cookie.

Role:Tagger/Ranged

Element:Water

Best Build

Twisted Donut Cookie

B+

She herself is no fun but have her on your team and swap her in to place her turret and then switch back to another cookie in situations when there is a lot of mobs really is helpful. Not crazy strong but also not a bad cookie overall in CookieRun Tower of Adventures..

Role:Tagger/Ranged

Element:Earth

Alchemist Cookie

B+

The poison damage is actually quite helpful in many situations - not a very endgame cookie but absolutely one that you will use in the earlies stages happily..

Role:Tagger/Magic

Element:Dark

Werewolf Cookie

B

Works overall but the ultimate is simply a stat increase (which works) that is not that crazy fun to play..

Role:Fighter/Slash

Element:Dark

Pistachio Cookie

B

The truth is, it's an okay support cookie but the fact that every player gets Chamomile Cookie when starting out makes him quite obsolete to level and play.

Role:Support/Slash

Element:Light

Cherry Cookie

C+

Nice early but you will unlock better thrower cookies like Alchemist quite soon so don't mind her too long.

Role:Tagger/Ranged

Element:Fire

Muscle Cookie

C

For multiplayer shielding useful but for most players focusing on story and other modes more like a wasted slot in your lineup.

Role:Support/Smash

Element:Earth

Ninja Cookie

C

Just doesn't do much and is outclassed by pretty much all other cookies.

Role:Tagger/Ranged

Element:Wind

GingerBrave

D

Just not good and literally every cookie you unlock after 3 minutes of playing Cookie Run Tower of Adventures is better. Do not invest anything into him unless the tutorial forces you to..

Role:Fighter/Smash

Element:Earth

Angel Cookie

D

Could see her a bit higher ranked but Pistachio Cookie is better and you get an incredible support cookie with Chamomile Cookie for free after player 10 minutes so there is no point in building or even using Angel Cookie.

Role:Support/Assist

Element:Light

Conclusion

I hope this list above will shed some light into the jungle of cookies and which ones to pull and build that are worth running in the long run – if you have questions or anything else regarding the cookies in CookieRun Tower of Adventures, please let me know in the comments below.
