Cookie Run: Kingdom

Cookie Run: Kingdom Tier List — September 2026

Every cookie ranked for Arena, PvE, and guild boss — built on HyRoolLegend's tier list, with our own re-rankings on top.

Updated monthly · Last updated September 26, 2026

SS Tier — The Game Changers

The strongest cookies in the game right now. Bring these wherever they fit.

S Tier — Strong Picks Depending on Content

Strong in the right matchup, and the substitutes to reach for when an SS cookie is missing or countered.

A Tier — Use If Necessary

Playable, but there is almost always a better option in the tiers above.

B Tier — Cookies To Avoid

Outclassed for current content. Ranked for completeness rather than recommendation.

Arena meta comps — September 2026

Current ladder cores. Build any of them slot-by-slot in the Team Builder.

Guild boss picks

Per-boss cookie pools with one example lineup — assemble and share full teams in the Team Builder.

Avatar of Destiny

Crème Brûlée is the designed counter, amplified by ATK SPD support. Debuffs are punished by Destiny Reversal, and HP Shields are mandatory to survive Destiny's Doom.

Living Abyss

Damage flows through the Licorice Ooze adds — wide AoE plus chained incapacitation (Weakness stacks) clears highest.

Machine-God of the Eternal Void

Debuff-immune but weak to Water — the Seltzer Stinging Fizz + Menthol Gas Explosion combo is the centerpiece of every top clear.

How this list is made

The starting point for this edition was the tier list in HyRoolLegend's video. It is a reference, not a reprint — the Cookie Book author re-ranked a number of cookies from their own play, so every placement here is ours, and so is any disagreement with the original. Cookies are grouped into a tier rather than ordered within it, so nothing is implied by the order inside a tier. Base and awakened forms are ranked separately, because they play differently. The Arena and PvE chips on a cookie say which modes it is a pick for; one chip means one mode.
