Ancient Heroes |
The Ancient Heroes, often referred to as the Ancient Cookies, the Ancients, or the Five, are a group of ageless Cookies graced with Soul Jam of the purest kind. Guardians of peace, they face off against the harbinger of chaos 
Dark Enchantress Cookie at the beginning of the game during the Final Battle. Each is stated to have once ruled over a Kingdom of their own[1]. They were defeated by Dark Enchantress Cookie and their Soul Jams were shattered, setting off the events of World Exploration.
Ancient Heroes can be easily obtained via the Might of the Ancients event, which allows players to earn an Ancient Hero of choice up to 3 times by completing certain objectives. Ancient Cookies are obtainable from all Cookie Gachas with a 0.0472% chance of being pulled, and have a higher chance of being pulled through the Nether-Gacha, a special Event that runs during an Ancient or an Awakened Ancient (alongside Beast) Cookie's release update. Ancient Cookie Soulstones cannot be stocked by any shop except for the Medal Shop, nor can they be randomly generated by Landmarks.
Certain Ancient Cookies can be Awakened via collecting their Soulprisms, unlocking a more powerful form with a new Skill and increased stats. Soulprisms can be earned from their respective Nether-Gacha, the Gacha of Fate, or the Rainbow Shell Gallery. Awakened Heroes have a 0.0371% chance to be pulled from Cookie Gachas as bundles of 20 Soulprisms; these Soulprisms do not grant a usable Cookie however, requiring a player to own the Ancient Hero first before they can be used.
All Ancient Heroes can currently be pulled, with only 
Dark Cacao Cookie, 
Golden Cheese Cookie and 
Pure Vanilla Cookie having Awakened forms.
Story[]
Eons ago, the Ancient Heroes were first born as normal Cookies, only acquiring their sacred Soul Jam through their achievements and virtuosity. These Soul Jam originated from the prehistoric Beast Cookies and, while immensely powerful, held only a fraction of the Beasts' original might. Each Ancient Hero other than 
White Lily Cookie[1] soon went on to erect and lead diverse civilizations, ushering in an age of peace through their accomplishments and inter-group cooperation.
The Ancient Heroes in their youth
This peace was shattered with the onset of the Dark Flour War, in which the Five were defeated by Dark Enchantress Cookie; their leader Pure Vanilla Cookie's soul was sealed in a void between dimensions, the power of the Soul Jam was diminished, and much of the infrastructure and peoples raised by the Heroes were obliterated. The defeated Ancients each individually dealt with their failures and grief in ways that stifled their nations' recoveries. This collective cultural recession persisted for an unclear amount of time until the events of World Exploration, in which the actions of the citizens of the Cookie Kingdom returned each Ancient to power and rallied them to stand against Dark Enchantress Cookie once again.
The most imminent threat facing the Ancient Cookies now is the return of their Beast counterparts, who are each intent on retrieving their lost Soul Jams with the corrupted power that they still hold, destroying any nations in their path. Such times of intense strife are inciting catharsis in the Heroes and causing them to Awaken, in which their Soul Jams recognize their true virtues and return to their original, unfathomable power.
Trivia[]
- The Ancient Heroes' flavors are derivative of common real-life flavors:
Hollyberry Cookie comes from strawberries, Pure Vanilla Cookie from vanilla, Dark Cacao Cookie from chocolate, Golden Cheese Cookie from cheese, and White Lily Cookie from herbs[2]. This motif is mirrored in the Beast Cookies' basic baking ingredient flavors. - While the Ancient Cookies are unaffected by the passage of time, Pitaya Dragon Cookie has stated that they made their Dragonsworn contract with White Lily Cookie thousands of years ago, implying that the Ancient Cookies are over thousands of years old.
- Each Ancient Cookie's gacha animation is longer than the one preceding them. Pure Vanilla Cookie has the shortest gacha animation out of the five Ancient Heroes, while White Lily Cookie has the longest.
