S+ Tier – Meta-Defining Cookies

Hollyberry Cookie (Awakened / Aegis Form)

The awakened variant of Hollyberry stands as the ultimate frontline defender, absorbing massive bursts while granting shields to allies. She thrives in nearly all game modes. Her resilience and unmatched sustain secure her S+ rank.

White Lily Cookie

A hybrid healer and debuff punisher who remains central to control-based strategies. Her balance of recovery and disruption keeps her indispensable. Her dual-role kit ensures her S+ rating.

Silent Salt Cookie (new)

The standout Beast Ambush unit from the Catacombs of Silence update, Silent Salt disables enemy abilities while dishing out massive AoE damage. His self-buffs and silence mechanics make him a terror in any matchup. His dominance across all modes secures his S+ placement.

Jagae Cookie (new)

An all-purpose front-line Support Cookie offering shields, cooldown reduction, and debuff immunity. She enhances team durability and control simultaneously. Her adaptability across team styles keeps her in S+.

S Tier – Core Power Picks

Frost Queen Cookie

A master of freeze control and AoE magic burst, ideal for disrupting enemies. She struggles slightly against immunity-heavy comps but remains a PvP staple. Her raw control earns her an S ranking.

Black Pearl Cookie

A high-damage AoE specialist who punishes grouped enemies. She can be fragile, but her control effects make her a mainstay in Arena teams. Her offensive utility keeps her in S.

Manju Cookie (new)

A burst-healer hybrid excelling in fast-paced fights. She pairs perfectly with Jagae for sustain and damage synergy. Her strong dual-role design earns her an S placement.

Charcoal Cookie (new)

A backline DPS who gains strength when paired with Silent Salt. His debuff utility complements team offense well. Slightly fragile, but synergy power makes him an S-tier cookie.

Eternal Sugar Cookie (new)

A Beast Bomber unit that excels at large-area attacks and consistent scaling. She’s effective in both PvE and PvP though requires support to shine. Reliable, consistent performance ensures her S-tier spot.

Fire Spirit Cookie (new)

A Legendary DPS with incredible burst potential and flexibility. Though fragile, his output can end battles quickly. His overall firepower keeps him in S.

A Tier – Reliable and Synergy-Based Cookies

Sherbet Cookie

Balanced DPS that scales with frost effects. Performs reliably but is often overshadowed by newer heavy hitters. A steady A-tier damage dealer.

Grapefruit Cookie (new)

A Charge-type frontliner designed for Citrus Squad synergy. Performs well with Lime and other buff-based allies. Slightly limited outside synergy comps, but strong enough for A tier.

Lime Cookie (buffed)

After her rework, Lime offers meaningful stat boosts and minor healing to Citrus allies. She’s still niche but viable in the right setups.

Pavlova Cookie (new)

A ranged DPS cookie who excels in burst-focused fights. Her lack of durability limits her, but she performs well when supported. Balanced performance keeps her A–B tier.

Agar Agar Cookie (new)

An Ambush attacker that is great for early-game content and specific PvP builds. Falls off late due to weak scaling. A–B depending on comp and stage.
