Updates & Patch Notes

Check out Episode 10: The Missing Piece in the Timeline of Fate.

Episode Effect: Data Tampering

GIF

The Data Tampering Episode Effect applies starting from the Cheese Fondue Plaza stage. Whenever certain enemies use specific skills or get hit, your Cookies will gain Virus Points.

Gaining Virus Points reduces the damage your team deals. Once Virus Points are fully stacked, Cookies will gain Lag status. When Lag status wears off or is dispelled, Cookies will gain Data Tampering status instead. Data Tampering permanently reduces Max HP periodically for its duration. The elusive time criminals, Time Shadow Cookie and Pulpo Cookie, as well as the Radiant Queen Golden Cheese Cookie, are less affected by Data Tampering.

Episode Effect: Realm of Spice

GIF

The Realm of Spice Land Rules apply starting from the Ruins of a Forgotten Empire stage.

Whenever enemies take damage, the Realm of Spice bar will gradually fill up and trigger Spice Haze once it is full. Under the effect of Spice Haze, your team is debuffed, while the enemies become stronger. When the Realm of Spice bar fills again, a Spice Typhoon will begin. During a Spice Typhoon, your team will receive an even greater disadvantage, and the enemies will become even more powerful. The elusive time criminals Time Shadow Cookie and Pulpo Cookie, along with the spice-resistant Burning Spice Cookie and Nutmeg Tiger Cookie, will reduce the Territory bar with their attacks and are less affected by the Realm of Spice.

Join Time Shadow Cookie and Pulpo Cookie in this edition of the Arcade Arena.

GIF

There are 3 bosses in Fire Spirit Cookie's Trial of Glory. At the start of a season, one of them is selected at random as the Season Boss, and you can fight the Season Boss until the season ends.

As the collapsing core timeline plunges the world into crisis, SCOOP Chief Cutter Circuit Cookie plans an off-the-books operation to take the corrupted Seal Tree under control. The Cookies chosen for the mission are a trio of notorious Grade A time criminals: Time Shadow Cookie, Pulpo Cookie and Ovenhead Cookie. Check out Time Breakers: Fatal Fixers in the Timeline of Fate chapter — Ep. 9, Unofficial Futures, will be released first in this update, and you can play it without clearing previous episodes. Ep. 10 will be released in the next update. New collectibles have been added to the SCOOP Database; play the Time Breakers: Fatal Fixers episodes to collect new SCOOP Database entries. Starting from the Bubbling Hazmat Incubator stage, the Eye of Calamity Episode Effect will be applied: the Surveillance bar increases every second and is filled an additional amount every time a Cookie Skill is used, and when the Surveillance bar is full, all allies receive the Eye of Calamity debuff. When the elusive time criminal Time Shadow Cookie uses his skill, allies gain the Dark Sight buff, letting them avoid the gaze of the eye for a brief period of time, and when Pulpo Cookie uses her skill, the bar is lowered and the Cookie receives a DMG Reduction buff. The Time Breakers Roadster! Tactical Skill becomes available starting from the Creaking Isolation Corridor stage: it summons the Time Breakers Roadster, granting allies various buffs based on its output (1000/2000/3000CW). The Output bar fills over time and whenever your team Cookies use their skills, and the skills of the elusive time criminals, Time Shadow Cookie and Pulpo Cookie, fill the bar faster. If Pulpo Cookie is on the team, the roadster's performance is enhanced: its maximum output increases to 4000CW, and summoning it at maximum output increases the damage enemies take.

GIF GIF

Fire Spirit Cookie's new Crystal Jam is here — check out the new power of the flames, hotter than ever. The Rally Effect, Concentrated Fire, grants effects at the start of battle to Cookies with Fire-type skills based on their number on the team, including himself: 1 or more grants CRIT% Up; 3 or more grants CRIT% Up and ATK Up; 5 or more grants CRIT% Up, ATK Up and CRIT DMG Up. The Crystal Jam Effect, Orb of Eternal Flame, amplifies the power of flames and alters Fire Spirit Cookie's skill: the damage of Fire Orb and Chain Explosion increases, and they deal additional damage proportional to the number of Burn and Explosive Burn stacks applied to the target. Additionally, at the start of combat, Cookies with Fire-type skills are granted increased Fire-type damage.

GIF

Fire Spirit Cookie has arrived at the Trial Grounds. Enter Everburning Dragon's Valley to obtain the Life Jewels required to create and upgrade Fire Spirit Cookie's Crystal Jam. Starting from Ever-Burning Flames: Scorching Dragon's Valley Stage 1, the Armor of Flame effect will be applied: enemies become clad in fiery armor and periodically gain DMG Dampening buff stacks. Each Burn debuff applied to enemies removes a stack, while Explosive Burn removes additional stacks, and once all DMG Dampening buff stacks are removed, enemies take significantly increased Fire-type damage for a set duration.

GIF

Avatar of Destiny returns to Guild Battle, taking Red Velvet Dragon's place. The Avatar of Destiny had been taking relatively lower damage compared to the other bosses, resulting in lower maximum stage records, which affected rewards, sense of accomplishment and the overall feel of the battle. To reduce the damage gap between bosses and raise the Avatar of Destiny's maximum stage potential, the damage it takes has been increased without altering the existing strategy.

GIF

Behind a courteous greeting lurks a shadow — the Grade A time criminal, Time Shadow Cookie, has arrived in CookieRun: Kingdom. He is an Ambush Cookie who uses the skill "Shadowplay." Time Shadow Cookie slips into the shadows and creates a shadowy domain among the enemies. Mischievous shadows emerge from within, dealing damage and applying Shadow Trick, and when they land a CRIT they also increase the damage the targets receive. Time Shadow Cookie also applies Shadow Deception to one Cookie of a lower rarity than himself, including Safeguarded Cookies, prioritizing the lowest rarity (Common, Rare, Special, Epic). Then a massive shadow appears, dealing damage, and vanishes, dragging one Cookie into the Shadow Realm — the target falls under Shadow Dominion and receives a Shadow Brand and damage. If a Cookie has a Shadow Brand, that Cookie becomes the next target of Shadow Dominion; otherwise Shadow Dominion targets a Cookie of the same or lower rarity than Time Shadow Cookie (Common, Rare, Special, Epic, Super Epic), prioritizing the lowest rarity. When a target with a Shadow Brand is defeated, Time Shadow Cookie gains Brand Absorption. Quick to conceal himself in the shadows, Time Shadow Cookie gains the Time Shadow buff at the start of battle, and upon being defeated he becomes Immortal through Ontological Stabilization once per battle, then immediately uses his skill.

GIF

GIF

Pulpo Cookie, a Grade B time criminal who travels through the Dimensional Rift to collect all things beautiful, has arrived in CookieRun: Kingdom. She is a Support Cookie who uses the skill "All, Wrapped Up." Gift Fragments and Gift Boxes rain down upon enemy lines, dealing damage and increasing the Darkness-type damage they receive. Pulpo Cookie wraps the boxes in ribbons, pulling enemies together and Shackling them, and the enemies take extra damage when Shackles ends. Pulpo Cookie gains Mobile Collection whenever a nearby non-Cookie enemy is Incapacitated or becomes Incapacitated while Shackled by her ribbons, and each time Mobile Collection reaches a certain number of stacks, it further increases the Darkness-type damage enemies receive (except bosses).

GIF

Cookie Alliance content has been fully revamped for easier access and deeper strategic play. The required number of Teams has been reduced from 5 to 3, and the 5 difficulty levels have been consolidated into 3: Easy / Hard / Master. You can enter any difficulty immediately without clearing them in order, starting from Easy; clearing a higher difficulty also grants the First Clear Rewards from all lower difficulties; Master difficulty rewards remain equivalent to those from Hero, the former highest difficulty; and the difficulty required to receive the First Clear Rewards has been changed from Expert to Hard. For battle rules, a Weakness debuff is applied to the Boss in each wave, and you can preview each wave's Weakness debuff in the Battle Lobby. The Artifacts that used to offer battle buffs have been removed — you can now obtain helpful battle buffs from the Beacon of Valor instead. Previously, Coins were required to activate the Beacon of Valor for a limited time; now you can activate it or change its effects freely throughout the season, and it grants battle buffs instead of the previous Blast Mode effect. The Beacon of Valor's conditions and effects will be listed for each season: select conditions and obtain buffs according to your selection, only teams meeting the selected conditions will receive the buffs, and if all 3 teams meet the selected conditions, all Cookies will receive the buffs. Activate the Beacon of Valor before using a Cookie Alliance Ticket to gain the buffs, which are available during the respective season only. Guild Rewards based on the total number of times guild members play have been added: rewards consist of 5 stages, reset at the end of the Season, and you must meet the minimum play attempts requirement to claim them. The effects of certain Relics and Relic Sets have also been changed — Golden Cheese Cookie's Sarcophagus now grants more Time Jumpers in Cookie Alliance instead of more Artifact Points in Alliance battles, Hollyberry Cookie Statue now grants CRIT% Up instead of Blast Mode, and the Kingdom History Hall 2, Galleries 1-6 Set Effect now grants ATK Up for 12 Elements instead of 6.

The Town Square Arcade's schedule has been changed, allowing access at any time, across five sessions: 00:00–05:00, 05:00–10:00, 10:00–15:00, 15:00–20:00 and 20:00–24:00. For the Bell of Glory, if you do not own any Bell of Glory Items you can tap the speech bubble above the Lion Fountain to open the item selection screen and then tap the Town Square Shop button to visit the Town Square Shop. The Bell of Glory standby time has been reduced from 20 seconds to 10 seconds, and you can now tap the speech bubble above the Lion Fountain to view the item selection screen even while the Bell of Glory is on Standby. If you own at least one Bell of Glory item, you can now preview the Burning Time buffs available from items stocked in the Town Square Shop, even if you do not own them. When a Bell of Glory Burning Time buff is active, the Bell of Glory icon will appear in the Town Square — tap the icon to view all currently available Bell of Glory Burning Time buffs, and tap the "Go to Bell of Glory Burning Time" button to move directly to the Lion Fountain and activate the buff. Activating a Platinum Bell of Glory Burning Time buff at the Lion Fountain will open the Burning Time buff window, with newly activated buffs marked as NEW. Whenever someone rings the Platinum Bell of Glory in the Town Square, a notification will appear in Global Messages, allowing you to check it from anywhere, and the visual effects for ringing the Platinum Bell of Glory have been improved to look even more spectacular. The Town Square Guide has been added, where you can find info about MyCookie and various Town Square activities, and some entries now include shortcut buttons that take you directly to the relevant activity location. A button for checking Town Square Post Office rewards has been added to the Town Square: use it to check how many times you have claimed Town Square Post Office rewards, and tap it while Post Office rewards are available to move to the reward location. The window for claiming Town Square Post Office rewards has been increased from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Mine Venture rules have changed: only Cookies at full HP can join a Mine Venture, and the Cookie's HP consumed during Mine Ventures has been reduced. A new Mine Card, Tart Ore Vein, has been added, with a Mining Completion Reward of Sugar Ore x140 and Mining Rewards of Coins, EXP Star Jellies and 1-min Speed-ups; a new Battle Card offering Agar Cube: Ananas Dragon Cookie's Soulstone as a reward is now available; and some Random Mine Card obtain rates have been adjusted. New Venture Tools have been added: Suspicious Tool Bag (obtain Venture Tool Card x1 at the end of the venture), Clunky Wrench (Cart Upgrade Card x1), Razor-Sharp Greatsword (Mine Battle Card x1), Sizzling Frying Pan (Recovery Tool Card x1) and Radiant Golden Pickaxe (start the venture from Floor 25). A feature that allows Recovery Tools to restore a Cookie's HP during ventures has been added: two existing Exploration Tools, Quick Snack and Hearty Lunchbox, become Recovery Tools, with any tools already owned retaining their current quantities. As Recovery Tools now apply to a single Cookie, their healing has been adjusted — Quick Snack from 10 to 50 and Hearty Lunchbox from 25 to 100 — and one new Recovery Tool, Cool Drink, restores 10 HP to a Cookie when used. Finally, the Ore Vein Card Breakdown feature has been added: break down Ore Vein Cards to obtain Radiant Ore Vein Crystals, a new Resource used to obtain various Mine Cards from the new Ore Vein Shop, where you can obtain various Mine Cards at the Mine Exchange and purchase limits reset weekly.

Tartrus — the realm between life and death. Awakening within its depths, White Lily Cookie finds herself at an unexpected crossroads. Meanwhile, Pure Vanilla Cookie enters Tartrus to reclaim his dear friend — with only three days to spare. Can the two Cookies overcome every Trial and return to the Cookie World? Check out Episode 8: I Promise in the Timeline of Fate: Tartrus of Oblivion. The Consuming Memories episode effect applies starting from the Plains of Oblivion Stage: attacking enemies or taking damage fills up the Consuming Memories bar, and allies whose bar is full fall into Sleep, take increased damage, and gain the Dismay status, which permanently blocks Healing and Shields. The Ruler of the Nether Realm, Nether Queen Cookie, is immune to Consuming Memories and can grant Shields or Heal allies with the Dismay status, and defeating enemies imbued with the Nether Realm's energy will restore the HP of allies who have gained the Dismay status. Asphodel Cookie, who wanders the Nether Realm, gains increased ATK and DMG Dampening, greatly slows down the rate at which allies' Consuming Memories bars fill up, and applies the buffs to all allies. The Bell of the Nether Realm tactical skill becomes available starting from the Plains of Oblivion stage: the bell tolls, clearing the Consuming Memories bar and Dismay status from all allies, while dealing damage to enemies and putting them to Sleep. If Nether Queen Cookie, the Ruler of the Nether Realm, is on the team, allies deal increased damage, and defeating an enemy imbued with the Nether Realm's energy adds a Tactical Skill charge.

There are 3 bosses for each Wind Archer Trial of Glory — a boss is selected at random as the Season Boss at the start of a season, and you can fight the Boss until the season ends. Each of the 3 bosses has a different set of skills, passive effects, and battlefield effects, so make sure to devise a strategy that effectively counters the Boss. There are three types of rewards in Trial of Glory: First Win Rewards, earned the first time each Cookie participates regardless of the season; Season Rewards, earned after the first play of each season and available again when the season changes; and Play Rewards, earned each time you use a battle attempt to play. Rewards can still be obtained when using Time Jumpers, but you can't claim rewards in Practice.

Ghosts haunt the halls of Blueberry Yogurt Academy — uncover its hidden past through the memory fragments someone left behind. Having faced the truth, Pure Vanilla Cookie ventures to Tartrus, the realm of the crumble, in search of the answer he lost. Ep. 7, Queen of the Nether Realm, is released first in this update and can be played without clearing previous episodes; Ep. 8 will be released in the next update. The Consuming Memories Episode Effect applies starting from the Dusty Bookshelf stage: attacking enemies or taking damage fills up the Consuming Memories bar, and allies whose bar is full fall into Sleep, take increased damage, and gain the Dismay status, which permanently blocks Healing and Shields. Nether Queen Cookie, the Ruler of the Nether Realm, is immune to Consuming Memories and can grant Shields or Heal allies with the Dismay status, and defeating enemies imbued with the Nether Realm's energy restores the HP of allies who have gained Dismay. Asphodel Cookie, who wanders the Nether Realm, gains increased ATK and DMG Dampening, greatly slows down the rate at which allies' bars fill up, and applies the buffs to all allies. The Bell of the Nether Realm Tactical Skill becomes available starting from the Failed Binding Spell stage: the bell tolls, clearing the Consuming Memories bar and Dismay status from all allies while dealing damage to enemies and putting them to Sleep — with Nether Queen Cookie on the team allies deal increased damage, and defeating an enemy imbued with the Nether Realm's energy adds a Tactical Skill charge.

Nether Queen Cookie, the Master of Death and Oblivion who commands the sweet waters of Oblivion from the throne of Tartrus, has arrived in CookieRun: Kingdom. She is a Healing Cookie who uses the skill "River of Tartrus." The waters of Tartrus purify removable debuffs from allies, then restore HP and grant an HP Shield along with DMG Dampening and DMG Resist buffs — when her skill heals an ally beyond their Max HP, the excess is converted into a Shield. The skill inflicts Soul Shackling, Branded Soul, and Injury on enemies. Nether Queen Cookie gains Soul Fragments periodically and upon meeting certain conditions; once she has enough, she grants the Ring of Tartrus and its power to ally Cookies (excluding herself) just before they are defeated, triggering up to 2 times per battle — allies who already have other Immortality or Invulnerability effects active before being defeated are excluded. She is not affected by removable Incapacitated debuffs, Silence, Cooldown freezing, or Cooldown recovery reduction. At the start of battle she gains the Ruler of Tartrus buff and grants herself an HP Shield once while inflicting DMG and ATK reduction on enemy Cookies. If there is exactly 1 Healing Cookie on the team, she grants DMG Dampening and CRIT DMG Resist to herself. Once per battle, when defeated, she grants herself the Ring of Tartrus and her Cooldown is reset. If an enemy Cookie gains Invulnerability, it is removed after 1 sec.

Asphodel Cookie, a guide to lost souls wandering along the River of Oblivion, has arrived in CookieRun: Kingdom. She is a Bomber Cookie who uses the skill "Cat Ghost," summoning a Cat Ghost at the enemy's location that explodes after a set time, dealing damage. It deals extra damage to enemies in PvE, increasing with each Grass Cookie on the team (excluding herself), and additionally grants ally Grass Cookies increased CRIT%, CRIT DMG, Grass-type DMG, and DMG Resist.

Explore the Nether Realm — lead your expedition on the right path and go as far as you can. Trials of the Nether Realm is a seasonal endless exploration mode where designated Cookies explore the Nether Realm based on each season's featured element, across two difficulties: Easy, a relatively light challenge with a maximum of 5 areas, and Hard, a grueling challenge featuring an endless series of areas. Each season features 3 designated elements and expeditions can only be formed with Cookies using those elements, while Cookies featured each season receive powerful special effects. Additional expedition slots can be obtained from Area Clear Rewards and remain unlocked for your next run, and only one high-rarity Cookie (WITCH, BEAST, LEGENDARY, ANCIENT, DRAGON, or SUPER EPIC) can be placed per run. Choose your path at each fork and advance by selecting Battle Nodes (progress saved after each wave), Fierce Battle Nodes against elite enemies whose remaining HP is saved — and where an appearing Cookie enemy can be recruited to your party without taking up a slot — Healing Nodes that restore one Cookie's or the whole expedition's Activity Points, Rift of Oblivion Nodes that resolve at random, and Boss Nodes waiting on the final floor of each area. Cookies that participate in battle lose Activity Points and cannot fight again once out of AP until the run ends. Rewards come as Area Clear Rewards (a once-per-season First Clear Reward), Node Rewards at milestones, and Battle Rewards; after ending an expedition, Time Jumpers let you earn Battle Clear Rewards based on the deepest zone reached during the season, though those rewards do not count toward your score. Note that images in the patch notes were captured in a development environment, so values and some reward details may differ from the final version.

The new Star Collection system lets you earn various rewards and buffs depending on your Cookies' upgrades. Access Star Collection from Cookies > Bonds. Star Points are calculated separately based on each Cookie's rarity and grade and are automatically awarded based on the upgrades of your Cookies, and can then be used to obtain various buffs and rewards from the Star Collection.

Star Abilities is a new system that allows you to unlock account-wide benefits in the Kingdom Arena by collecting and promoting Cookies of SUPER EPIC and higher rarities. Reaching certain Star Grades with a high-rarity Cookie unlocks new Star Abilities, and these effects apply only in the Arena. They are divided into Battle Effects, which apply only while the Cookie is on the team, and Passive Effects, which apply even while the Cookie is not on the team. There are three types: Star Power increases the Cookie's final DMG dealt, Star Guard decreases the Cookie's final DMG received, and Star Heal increases the Cookie's final Healing given and received. On the reasoning: differences in Cookie grades are not always meaningfully reflected in battle outcomes, as battles have become more fast-paced, some Cookies rely heavily on damage proportional to Max HP, and others excel by strengthening allies or hindering enemies rather than dealing ATK-based damage — meanwhile existing upgrade systems such as the Laboratory, Statue of Heroic Radiance, and Guild Relics have become more wide-spread, diminishing the impact of Cookie collection and promotion. Star Abilities are intended to ensure promotion retains a meaningful impact and lasting value regardless of whether a Cookie is currently in use. To keep upgrades noticeable without compromising strategy or competitive play, their scope is managed carefully: usage is restricted to the Kingdom Arena only, a significant portion of each Star Ability's power is provided through Battle Effects as soon as the Cookie is obtained so low-Promotion Cookies remain useful, and the effect improves gradually as values rise to prevent inflation from new Super Epic or higher releases. For example, at 500 Star Power final damage dealt increases by approximately 6%, and at 500 Star Guard final damage received decreases by approximately 15%.

Grow your Kingdom in new ways, strengthen your Cookies, and usher in a new age of prosperity. The existing Kingdom Affairs feature is being split into the Play Portal and the Kingdom Portal. The Kingdom Portal brings together various features that contribute to Kingdom growth, letting you review them at a glance and jump directly to the relevant content — Star Collection, Cookie Bonds, Costume Sets, Star Ability, Statue of Heroic Radiance, Sugar Gnome Laboratory, Guild, and Landmarks.

Obtain Legendary Topping Tarts from the Trials of the Nether Realm and build an even stronger deck. Unlike existing Topping Tarts, Legendary Topping Tarts come with exclusive bonus effects: one of 11 bonus effects is applied randomly, and Tart Cores can be used to change it — when changing, one random effect other than the current one is offered and you may accept it or keep the current one, and the change does not alter the current Upgrade Level as the new effect's value is adjusted to match. Tart Cores are obtained by breaking down Legendary Topping Tarts or as rewards from the Trials of the Nether Realm, and are used to change bonus effects, upgrade Legendary Topping Tarts, and reset upgrades. Each Legendary Topping Tart has 12 upgrade attempts; succeed in all 12 to reach the maximum Upgrade Lv. of +12, with higher levels granting greater bonus effect values. Each attempt consumes one upgrade opportunity whether it succeeds or fails, and a failed upgrade does not increase the Upgrade Lv. and lowers the maximum Upgrade Lv. that can be reached. Tarts with failed upgrades can be reset: each has its own Reset count, and at certain reset thresholds the cost required for Enhancement increases. Resetting returns the Upgrade Lv. and used attempts to 0, and further upgrades receive an additional success rate that increases with each reset. You can also promote Epic Topping Tarts to obtain Legendary Topping Tarts — promotion retains the Topping Tart's type and stats while adding a new Legendary-exclusive bonus effect, and requires Butter Cream obtained from the Trials of the Nether Realm.

GIF

The new Pick and Choose Gacha lets you select the Cookie you want to obtain. You can use up to 5 gacha preview attempts for free each day, and use Crystals to purchase additional attempts. Up to 5 gacha preview results are automatically saved in chronological order, and if more than 5 are saved the oldest result is replaced by the newest one. You can select any saved result from your preview history at any time, and if a Cookie you want appears in a gacha preview, tap Confirm to obtain that Cookie for free. Cookies and Soulstones available by gacha slot: Slot 1 offers SUPER EPIC to WITCH Cookies, Slot 2 offers EPIC to WITCH Cookies, and Slots 3–10 offer COMMON to EPIC Cookies and Soulstones.

Resonant Toppings have higher bonus effect values than regular Toppings, and their bonus effects might differ from those of regular Toppings.

Added Dark Cacao Cookie's Dusk of Silence and Mystic Flour Cookie's Morning Dew of Apathy to the Rainbow Crystal Shop.

Added the Catacombs Lantern II Bell of Glory Item to the Town Square Shop. This item may randomly appear in existing Bell of Glory Item slots, and activates a Hot Time effect that reduces the amount of materials required for Sugar Gnome Laboratory research by 20%.

Buff Time Rewards obtained every 5 min while in the Town Square are doubled. The maximum reward amount remains unchanged, while the time required to earn all rewards has been reduced from 2 hr to 1 hr under normal conditions. The Town Square Time Booster buff obtained by participating in Town Square Games now provides +10 min as opposed to +5 min.

The requirements for reaching certain Kingdom Arena tiers are being adjusted to make progression goals for higher tiers clearer. Grandmaster 3: top 0.5% of Master with 3,000 Trophies → top 1,500 overall with 3,000 Trophies. Elite 1: top 1% of Master → top 2% of Master. The requirements for reaching Grandmaster 1 and 2 remain unchanged, and the new requirements apply to Arena Seasons beginning after the update.

The fast-forwarding condition in the Kingdom Arena has been adjusted: it is now based on your current highest achieved Tier.

The Resolution option in the Settings menu has been optimized to reduce device overheating, though slight pixel differences may occur on some high-end devices. A new Simple Buildings option has been added to the Settings menu, which displays the animations of some Kingdom buildings as static images to reduce memory usage for smoother gameplay — it is enabled by default on iOS devices with 4GB RAM or less and Android devices with 3GB RAM or less, and can be changed in the Settings.

Added a button to the Hire Out Your Cookie menu that lets you check the currently registered Cookie's info — its equipped Beascuit, Toppings, Topping Tarts, and more.

The number of available Sugar Gnomes is now displayed when upgrading landmarks in the Sky Garden and production buildings in the Windmill Garden.

Added tips on how to make your Cookies stronger after a battle defeat, with more details on Cookie upgrades, Star Collection, costume sets, landmarks, the Sugar Gnome Laboratory, the Statue of Heroic Radiance, guild buffs, and more.

The probability of obtaining an Epic Topping Tart when using Common or Rare crafting is increased: Common 0.3% → 1% and Rare 3% → 10%, with the chance to get a Common or Rare Topping Tart diminishing accordingly.

The way CRIT% values are displayed for Toppings and Topping Tarts is improved: values now show one decimal place instead of two.

Some effects of Great Sage's Gem have been increased. Team DMG Resist at the start of battle: +15% → +25%. ATK upon activating Immortality: +20% → +35%. DMG Resist upon activating Immortality: +15% → +30%.

Nether Queen Cookie is added to the list of Guardians of Nature.

Nether Queen Cookie, Asphodel Cookie, Pastry Cookie, Mango Cookie, Salt Cellar Cookie, and Charcoal Cookie have been added to CookieChat.

If a Trials of the Nether Realm run is already in progress, the Passives granting +2 Expedition Slots and +20% Activity Points will not affect the ongoing run. These effects will only be applied to new runs started after the current one ends.

Ep. 8 of the Tartrus of Oblivion chapter arrives in the next update, alongside the teaser shown at the close of the July 29 update notice.

As countless black wings blanket the skies of Pineapple Island, the showdown between Ananas Dragon Cookie and Wind Archer Cookie begins. Episode 6, Golden Dragon's Domain, is available now in World Exploration. The Primordial Ravens Episode Effect applies starting from the "Clash in the Sky" stage: at the start of battle the deathly progeny summon an ominous fog that applies DMG Reduction and Amplified Debuffs to the team while increasing enemies' Debuff Resist, and enemies defeated within the fog inflict Fear and DMG on nearby allies and Revive as Primordial Ravens — Ananas Dragon Cookie is immune to all of it and extends the duration of the Healing Prevention they apply. The Word of Life Tactical Skill becomes available starting from the "Mission of the Delegation" stage: a golden Word of Life echoes across the battlefield, dealing damage to enemies afflicted by the Void and suppressing Primordial Raven Revival — and with Ananas Dragon Cookie on the team, the power of Dragontongue is enhanced, removing the Primordial Raven debuff from allies and applying DMG Dampening for the duration.

After the Summer Soda Rock Festa was suddenly canceled on Pineapple Island, music lovers with nowhere else to go flocked to the Hollyberry Kingdom. Welcoming them all with open arms, the kingdom has transformed its traditional berry harvest celebrations into a festival of much grander scale: the Grandberry Festival! The new Special Episode is presented as a story-based game mode — earn rewards each time you check a story, then move on to the next chapter. Once you have completed the final chapter, your progress resets, letting you revisit any chapters you missed. Progressing requires Grandberry Quills, obtained through Grandberry Festival episode quests.

Battle the Dragon Soul to collect Dragon Scales! Use the Expedition Cookies and Expedition Buffs to deal as much damage as possible to the boss within the given time. Random Cookies may join the battle to help you fight, and you can manually select some of the Expedition Cookies — but they can't be the same Cookies selected for your team. The composition of the expedition crew determines the Expedition Buffs applied in battle, and the Expedition Cookies also receive 3 exclusive effects, active for one battle, which reset after you claim your reward. This season grants bonus Lucky Points: the sum of all digits in your final score (your Basic Score) multiplied by the product of all repeating digits times their counts — for example, a final score of 11,234,556,678 gives a Basic Score of 48, and with two 1s, two 5s, and two 6s, Lucky Points = 48 × (1×2) × (5×2) × (6×2) = 11,520. Collect Dragon Scales and Petrified Dragon Scales and exchange them for various items in the Shop.

Episode 5, Dark-Winged Guardian, leads the Dragontongue Song chapter and can be played without clearing previous episodes (Episode 6 arrived with the July 16 update). The Primordial Ravens Episode Effect applies starting from the "A Feather in the Village" stage: at the start of battle the deathly progeny summon an ominous fog that applies DMG Reduction and Amplified Debuffs to the team while increasing enemies' Debuff Resist, and enemies defeated within the fog inflict Fear and DMG on nearby allies and Revive as Primordial Ravens — Ananas Dragon Cookie is immune and extends the duration of the Healing Prevention they apply. The Word of Life Tactical Skill becomes available starting from the "Nest of Hallucinations" stage: a golden Word of Life echoes across the battlefield, dealing damage to enemies afflicted by the Void and suppressing Primordial Raven Revival — enhanced when Ananas Dragon Cookie is on the team, removing the Primordial Raven debuff from allies and applying DMG Dampening for the duration.

Help Custard Cookie III rebuild the kingdom! Golden Harvest is a roguelike deck-building mode played over 15 rounds: use Cheese Pieces to produce items at the 4×4 Sea Farm and harvest Golden Cheeseballs through synergies between item types. After each harvest, add one of three item options to your product list (skippable from Round 11), adjust the list with Reroll and Remove Tokens (one of each at Rounds 3, 7, 11, and 15), and choose one of three Cookie buffs after every cleared round. Items from the same building placed adjacently trigger Synergies, while Power Synergies consume adjacent materials for even more Golden Cheeseballs. Reach each round's Golden Cheeseball goal to advance — the game ends when you miss a goal, stop after a cleared round, or clear Round 15. Rewards scale with your progress, and Cheeseball Coins earned in proportion to the Cheese Pieces you use can be exchanged for items in the Golden Harvest shop. Practice Mode lets you experiment without rewards; Regular Mode saves your best season record.

The Duel of Destiny returns for the battle of the Dragon Cookies against the corrupted Legendary Cookies! All players start on equal footing: Ananas Dragon Cookie is locked into your deck this season, teams are formed only from the Season's exclusive Ally Cookies, every Cookie comes at the same level and promotion grade (Lv.30 Magic Candy and Lv.20 Crystal Jam effects), and outside effects such as Toppings, Beascuits, guild buffs, the laboratory, bonds, and landmarks are disabled. Defeat enemies to recruit Allies or choose Hero's Wills, and combine Will Flames — orange, green, and blue, with purple as a wild card — to trigger bonus effects and light the Awakening Candelabrum for a powerful tactical skill. Spend Gems of Will on Unleash Power upgrades (ATK, Cooldown, and even Ananas Dragon Cookie's Star Grade) that last for the season. Earth & Sky runs in two seasons — July 2 to July 16 and July 16 to July 30 (GMT+9) — each with its own rankings, mailbox rewards, and refreshed Duel of Destiny Shop stock.

This run also adds control over the Trade Ship's sailing speed with skippable Pirate Ship and Maelstrom scenes and a Sail to Island button, battle events at Woozy Pirate's Island, the Durian Black Market (spend Shady Durian Coins once you complete the Shady Map), a three-round Ghost Ship mini-game against the Ghost Captain, and BIG SALE / HOT DEAL surprise events when docking during Chapters 2–5.

From the skies appeared a dragon with noble, golden scales as radiant as the sun — Ananas Dragon Cookie, the monarch of Pineapple Island. A Magic Cookie who uses the skill "Golden Awakening": as the Song of Dragontongue resonates, Ananas Dragon Cookie reclaims their ancient power and transforms into a mighty dragon, granting HP Shields and Golden Dragontongue to the team. They unleash a powerful roar gaining Dragon's Power, inflict Fear on all enemies (unremovable by Purify and unaffected by Debuff Resist), apply Ananas Dragon's Rage, and summon a Meteor. They then soar into the sky and crash down — dealing damage, Knocking enemies back, and sending them Airborne. Gains Energy of the Earthbread; at max stacks, applies Rock Seal to their target (Ananas Dragon Cookie is immune as master of the earthbread). If their Beascuit has 2 or more Earth-type DMG Up bonus effects at the start of battle, Dragon's Power is enhanced. Released as a Dragon-rarity Cookie following the same 6-Star progression system as Timekeeper Cookie, Beast, and Witch Cookies.

Wind Archer Cookie's progression changes from ★5 + ★5A grades to ★6 grades, and the Ascension stage is removed. Decorations around the Cookie become more lavish at ★2, ★4, and ★6, and the Cookie Detail background grows abundant at ★3. Soulstone conversion: owned Soulstones plus those previously used to promote or ascend (Soulstones and Soulcores) are summed and converted at 120% of total value (decimals rounded up); amounts exceeding x450 convert into Legendary Soulstone Choice Chests (9 kinds). The updated grade is matched to the lower of the previously achieved grade and the maximum achievable with converted Soulstones — no additional upgrade resources required. Crystal Jam Ascension Effects shift accordingly (★1A→★2 through ★5A→★6).

Fixed an issue where Water-type Beascuits were not included in the Monster Menace Beascuit Chest.

Check out Episode 4: Prognosis: Doom in the Timeline of Fate chapter. The Arcane Vacuum episode effect takes effect starting from "The Incorporeal" stage: the Ultimate Oven, burned to ashes, absorbs surrounding magic, life force, and the flow of time to fill its depleted Energy Gauge at regular intervals — when the gauge is full, Arcane Vacuum occurs for an extended duration, during which allies receive increased damage, deal reduced damage, take periodic damage proportional to Max HP, and Skill Cooldown is greatly increased, ignoring Cooldown reduction effects. The Energy Gauge fills faster when attacking enemies or taking damage. Povidone-Iodine Cookie ignores Arcane Vacuum and receives an additional damage buff, Timekeeper Cookie also ignores it, and after analyzing the Arcane Vacuum, SCOOP's genius researcher Litmus Cookie ignores its effects, greatly reduces its duration, and grants an additional DMG Dampening buff to allies. The Full Throttle! SCOOP Roadster! Tactical Skill summons the SCOOP Roadster, which charges forward, knocking back enemies and dealing charge damage — with Povidone-Iodine Cookie on the team it deals extra DMG when the Chaos Dragon uses Omen of Chaos to deploy a powerful Shield, and with Litmus Cookie on the team its Cooldown is greatly reduced.

Anomaly Find is a game mode where you take on the role of a SCOOP agent and track down hidden anomalies within the time limit using clues from the Research Notebook. Subjects may be anomalies disguised as normal Cookies, making accurate detection crucial — finding anomalies earns you points, but misidentifying normal Cookies or missing anomalies reduces your points. The higher your Clearance Level, the more frequently anomalies appear, with Normal and Suspicious Clues appearing together and a set number of detections needed to advance. If finding anomalies is difficult, you can conduct an Additional Inspection on specific Icings to reveal hidden clues — but the more you investigate, the lower your Efficient Investigation score becomes. Consecutive correct detections earn a Combo Detection Bonus, and detecting accurately with limited information earns an Efficient Detection Bonus. Coins obtained by finding anomalies can be spent in the Anomaly Find Shop.

The Legendary Costumes make a dazzling return with doubled appearance rates for 13 Legendary Costumes, and twice as many Rainbow Crystals when pulling costumes you already own.

SCOOP's genius researcher with a charmingly clumsy twist. Litmus Cookie uses the skill "Data Analysis": she sends her Litmus Wings to deal damage and apply Weakness Analysis, heals the team while applying ATK and CRIT DMG buffs, and leaves several Litmus Wings behind to keep analyzing the area. Allies with Data Samples deal additional damage to enemies with the Weakness Analyzed status at the cost of one stack. Depending on the Data Analysis outcome she grants either an HP Shield (Red Result) or Healing (Blue Result).

Check out Episode 3: Unidentified Entity Detected! in the Timeline of Fate chapter. This part features two episodes, with the first one available now — you can play it without clearing The Arcana of Truth and Deceit (Episode 4 arrived with the June 18 update). The Arcane Vacuum episode effect takes effect starting from the Get Rid of This Fur! stage: the Ultimate Oven, burned to ashes, absorbs surrounding magic, life force, and the flow of time to fill its depleted Energy Gauge at regular intervals — when full, Arcane Vacuum occurs for an extended duration, during which allies receive increased damage, deal reduced damage, take periodic damage proportional to Max HP, and Skill Cooldown is greatly increased, ignoring Cooldown reduction effects. The gauge fills faster when attacking enemies or taking damage. Povidone-Iodine Cookie, SCOOP's Raging Scalpel, ignores Arcane Vacuum and receives an additional damage buff; Timekeeper Cookie, gliding on the massive golden Sonic Embroider, also ignores it. The Full Throttle! SCOOP Roadster! Tactical Skill summons the SCOOP Roadster, which charges forward, knocking back enemies and dealing charge DMG.

An uncontrollable anomaly has appeared — the Chaos Dragon! Challenge the powerful, giant Chaos Dragon in this team-based battle mode, unlocked after clearing World Exploration: Crispia Stage 2-10 (this is not a regular game mode). The raid consists of four Seasons with both Season and Daily Rankings: Season 1 Jun 4–10, Season 2 Jun 11–17, Season 3 Jun 18–24, and Season 4 Jun 25 – Jul 1 (GMT+9); season rankings are determined by total points earned and reset at season end, daily rankings by the highest score of the day, and battles are unavailable during tallying. Each season features new boss abilities, environmental elements, and playable Cookies — on all difficulty levels, Cookies and Skills are boosted to Lv.80 and Treasures to Lv.12, and items are obtained according to the number of hits dealt to the boss (Burn, Poison, etc. are not counted). Battles consume Chaos Dragon Raid Tickets, which refill automatically over time and can be purchased with Crystals up to a limit. Rewards include Battle Result Rewards (Chaos Gems plus a small chance at the Horn of Chaos Bell of Glory item), Daily Ranking Rewards, Season Ranking Rewards (including the Horn of Chaos Maelstrom), and Daily Server Contribution Rewards based on server-wide Contribution Points. Chaos Gems can be exchanged for items in the Chaos Dragon Raid Shop and remain until the end of Season 4.

The medical genius from SCOOP, whose often ethically ambiguous experiments uncover the secrets of anomalies. Povidone-Iodine Cookie uses the skill "Ethically Ambiguous Experiments": sprays Red Antiseptic to apply a debuff, deals damage and applies a Healing debuff plus Healing Prevention to the lowest-HP target, attacks with a saw applying Excessive Vampiric Bite, grants an HP Shield to self and heals all allies, and applies Experimental Prescription to allies. At the start of battle she gains an HP Shield, Debuff Immunity, and Enhanced Experimental Prescription, and periodically heals while becoming immune to incapacitating effects when using her skill.

Missing Agar Cube Battle Cards added to the Mines (all Soulstones now obtainable at equal chances). Updated Icicle Yeti Cookie's skill description to note start-of-battle debuff immunity. System optimization to improve connection stability and prevent crashes. The lower limit for max active Cookies in the Kingdom changed from 50 to 20, with new 20/30/40 options. Reduced the effect of Unstable Timeline and Ashen Fog in several modes. Fixed a Crystal Jam description issue for Hired Cookies, and a Kingdom Arena skill-activation order issue with identical decks.
