This article primarily covers useful Cookie combinations for any game modes, primarily PvE modes.
Any Cookies listed that possess a Magic Candy or Crystal Jam are presumed to have them, with Magic Candies being at +10 minimum.
General Tips[]
A general effective team layout is one with at least one 
frontliner, three 
damage dealers, and one 
healer. The number of each type and the Cookie Types used depends on the survivability and damage output of your team, and depending on whether certain Cookies are either able to defeat enemy teams by themselves or simply support the ones that do. Most Cookies tend to be defeated only after the first damage multiplier at 1:00, so good teams often plan to both survive intact until this point via survivability and have damage dealer Cookies use their Skills as soon as the damage multiplier is applied via cooldown buffs. Great teams always capitalize on their team's synergies, and ensure that everyone's initial cooldowns are timed properly to make the most out of the first Skill rotation of the battle.
Old Pilgrim's Scroll and 
Squishy Jelly Watch are the most reliable Treasure combination to use on any team, with the latter being replaceable by 
Sleepyhead's Jelly Watch once that's maxed out. 
Dream Conductor's Whistle can either complement the Scroll or replace it depending on the two Cookies that it buffs. 
Sugar Swan's Shining Feather can be used to give the softest Cookie, preferably the one with the powerful Skill, a second chance when they're defeated. 
Vial of Raging Dunes is another means of both increasing ATK and reducing enemy CRITs, but only has full effectiveness if the team has a means of reviving any Cookie. 
Thunder God's Paper Charm can be a dependable way of countering enemy teams reliant on dispellable buffs.
Best Combos[]
Blueberry Pie[]
| Cookies | Optional |
|---|---|
   |
  |
Blueberry Pie Cookie's 
Cursed Tome Skill works best when her team has allies that can consistently incapacitate multiple enemies by inflicting debuffs such as 
Stun or 
Sleep. However, she doesn't require so much crowd-control that the entire team must be built towards this purpose, as she spends time using her Sealed Power that may leave her vulnerable or prevent her from restoring her own health via her Skill.
Against the Living Abyss, Blueberry Pie Cookie can stand out in teams looking inflict incapacitating debuffs numerous times on the Licorice Oozes, striking both the mobs and the boss itself with her Sealed Power.
Stormbringer Cookie grants 
Electricity-type Cookies a plethora of free DMG Resist and Max HP via 
Supercharge, as long as she builds enough CRIT%. Inflicting Petrification and 
Overcurrent on enemies also allows Blueberry Pie Cookie to build up 
Greed stacks. 
Space Doughnut can also be used as they are able to Polymorph enemies, alongside brutal 
DEF drops.
HP[]
| Cookies | Treasure | Optional |
|---|---|---|
 |
|
  |
Wildberry Cookie's 
Wild Punch currently deals damage in its final blow based off of his Max HP multiplied by the number of 
Wild stacks he can build up. By increasing his HP with both toppings and the 
Durianeer's Squeaky Flamingo Tube, Wildberry Cookie can completely forego his ATK stat and use his massive HP stat to simply knockout entire teams with one punch.
Elemental Synergies[]
Since the addition of Elements in The Triple Cone Cup Begins! update (v4.3), Cookies who share elemental abilities can synergize exceptionally well due to many buffs only affecting that one element, allowing the power of these compositions to soar very quickly.
These comps are especially helpful for the Cookie Alliance mode, since elemental attack power can be increased further with the Artifacts and the Guild Museum.
Light[]
| Cookies | Optional | Treasures |
|---|---|---|
   |
    |
|
The Element of 
Light is all about chipping away at the enemy quickly with fast attacks while increasing the effectiveness of their buffs.
Combining 
Power of the Light with 
Paladin of Light makes for a already solid combo on it's own, increasing the ATK SPD and Light-Type DMG of the team and able to deal a ton of damage in the first Skill rotation of the battle. 
Kouign-Amann Cookie is able to provide free DMG Resist to the team with her Magic Candy, as well as making the enemies receive more Light-type DMG. 
Madeleine Cookie is able to self-heal, allowing him to bypass the need for DMG Resist Toppings that Front Cookies are usually known for, opting for ATK SPD or ATK Toppings instead. 
Clotted Cream Cookie is able to provide the single best Light-type ATK boost in the whole game, alongside widespread area damage, but he needs a lot of support to stick around after every Skill use.
Adding 
Crème Brûlée Cookie, which relies on high ATK SPD and deals Light-Type DMG makes the combo an incredibly high damage dealing team that can take out key Cookies swiftly. 
Pure Vanilla Cookie (Compassionate) can simultaneously heal, attack, and provide critical defensive utility that Light-type Cookies usually lack, and provide the whole team with Amplify Buff for his regular healing. 
Cream Puff Cookie uses Light-type damage to calculate her healing, so she's usually considered a better healer for this composition than most. 
Sparkling Cookie can also be used, as he can provide more Light-type ATK boosts, alongside a small ATK SPD boost.
If desired, adding 
Mint Choco Cookie or 
Star Coral Cookie for an even deadlier ATK SPD boost can be helpful as well, but eventually there is a limit to how high ATK SPD can go.
Poison[]
| Cookies | Optional | Treasures |
|---|---|---|
   |
   |
|
The Element of 
Poison is all about making sure the opponent never remains at full HP. This composition is used mainly for event bosses such as the Tumeric Boar or Giant Anniversary Cake Hound.
Prune Juice Cookie is the main damage dealer, as his 
Poison stacks from both his regular attacks and his Summoned Creature have no limit, causing massive damage on their own, especially with the 
Poison DMG Up status from 
Prune Juice Potion. Add in 
Matcha Cookie's 
Sinister Scheme and the 
Poison-type Periodic DMG Duration Up buff along with it, and all hell starts to break loose, as every Poison debuff last 50% longer, allowing stacks of Poison up to over 100 with the right setup, allowing for billions of damage in seconds. Adding 
Black Sapphire Cookie can increase the effectiveness even more, passively increasing the Poison-type ATK of allies, increasing the Poison-type damage the enemy takes, and providing a DEF drop that becomes more potent the more Poison-type Cookies are in the team.
Royal Margarine Cookie can be used as an extra Poisoner, along with providing DEF Drops, while 
Rebel Cookie and 
Linzer Cookie can use their respective Skills to grant 
All-Type DMG Up and 
Suspect respectively, boosting the damage output even more.
Using 
Seamstress's Pin Cushion can increase the duration of Prune Juice Cookie's Prune Juice Jelly, allowing for multiple to be on the field at once.
Fire[]
| Cookies | Optional |
|---|---|
  |
    |
The Element of 
Fire is similar to Poison, but it is more used for groups of enemies.
Burning Spice Cookie is the core to the Fire group, due to his immensely powerful 
Revelry of Flames buff, granting all Fire-type Cookies 50% more HP, as well as extra ATK, DMG Resist, and CRIT% depending on how many 
Burns are inflicted on the team. Buffs he can grant due to his Beast Passive: Firestorm, which Burns everything on the field, including allies.
Nutmeg Tiger Cookie is the optimal Support for Fire teams, due to her healing being based on how much damage she can deal, as well as prolonging Burns with Fire-type Periodic DMG Duration. 
Cream Unicorn Cookie can become a great ally to Nutmeg Tiger, allowing Fire damage to be increased further.
Both 
Capsaicin Cookie and 
Pitaya Dragon Cookie can be used as well, as they deal lots of teamwide Fire-type damage and increase the amount of Fire-type damage that enemies take using their Skills 
Capsaicin Magma and 
Draconic Bladestorm. By stacking these debuffs, they ensure teams that can't clear them out eventually succumb to a sudden inferno of damage when they combine the burst portions of their Skills together.
Water[]
| Cookies | Optional |
|---|---|
  |
     |
The Element of 
Water is all about supporting the team with buffs and crippling the enemy with debuffs.
Crimson Coral Cookie provides a powerful boost to Water-type damage, just as long as she's the only Front Cookie, while 
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie greatly increases the Water-type damage taken by enemies with 
Snare of the Deep. This makes for an excellent support for the 
Water Legendaries who deal incredible teamwide Water-damage, and can easily take out most teams that aren't prepared for it. It's especially effective given the reduced starting cooldowns that Crimson Coral Cookie and Frilled Jellyfish Cookie's Skills have, allowing them to set up long before the damage dealers are ready.
Peppermint Cookie also benefits greatly from this set-up since their healing is tied to the damage they deal with their Skill, allowing them to provide great heals. 
Mango Cookie and 
Captain Caviar Cookie can be used to weaken the enemy further with their respective Weakness and DEF Down debuffs from 
Tour Guide Expert and 
Black Shark Torpedo Mk.2.
Earth[]
| Cookies | Optional |
|---|---|
   |
    |
The Element of 
Earth is group-damage focused while staying defensive.
While 
Golden Cheese Cookie is a powerful Cookie in her own right, 
Burnt Cheese Cookie serves as her exceptionally-specialized frontline partner, with 
Smoked Cheese Cookie covering the back. Power can be amplified further by awakening Golden Cheese Cookie into 
Golden Cheese Cookie (Immortal).
Burnt Cheese Cookie prioritizes Golden Cheese Cookie for his 
Protector of the Golden City to grant both of them 
Immunity to debuffs, 
Curse Protection, and a 50% redirection of all damage she takes towards him. If she takes shelter in her Sarcophagus (or enter Immortal's Embrace, if awakened), his Skill will reset while also granting him 
ATK Up buff and 
ATK SPD Up buffs. Considering that Burnt Cheese Cookie also earns +30% 
DMG Resist if Golden Cheese Cookie is in the team, it's fair to say that he relies on her much more than she relies on him.
Smoked Cheese Cookie adds even more synergy with his 
Guardian's Return buff, which is amplified with Golden Cheese Cookie just being in the team, bringing deadly levels of 
Earth-type ATK Up and 
Earth-type CRIT DMG Up. Pair that with his Protector of the Golden City Passive ability, which increases the stats of himself, Golden Cheese Cookie, and Burnt Cheese Cookie.
Awakening Golden Cheese Cookie allows for the composition as a whole to have more survivability, as her Rally Effect brings 25% more HP to all Earth-type Cookies.
Other Earth-type Skill Cookies like 
Fettuccine Cookie can also be a good choice, as Fettuccine Cookie is both extremely tanky and can increase Earth-type damage that enemies take with 
Unstable Fettuccine. 
Mozzarella Cookie is able to increase Earth damage even further, as well as sending enemies flying backward with 
Mozzarella Master Plan. Adding 
Espresso Cookie or 
Latte Cookie can disrupt the enemy while still benefitting from buffs, by making them weaker with 
Injury or pausing their advance by 
Silencing them.
Ice/ Freeze[]
| Cookies | Optional |
|---|---|
 |
  |
The Element of 
Ice is disruptive; it slows ATK SPD, and pauses Cooldowns.
Combining 
Frost Queen Cookie and 
Snow Sugar Cookie's empowered Skills, 
Eternal Frost and 
Help Me, Snow King!, can unleash a mighty blizzard upon enemies with constant applications of 
Frost and 
Freeze to apply onto enemies. 
Icicle Yeti Cookie can act as a better healer for this composition than others, and 
Sherbet Cookie can speed up the process as long as he can stick around.
With Frost Queen Cookie's Rally Effect, all instances of Ice damage to enemies with Frost will have a chance to Freeze, increasing the potency even more. 
Pinecone Cookie is able to provide fast area damage that activates the Rally Effect quickly.
Electricity/ Zap[]
| Cookies | Optional | Treasures |
|---|---|---|
   |
 |
|
The Element of Electricity is focused on CRIT DMG, usually having amplified damage from critical hits.
Twizzly Gummy Cookie's Magic Candy Skill 
Blast from the Future can apply a whopping 5 
Zap debuffs on enemies, on top of pushing enemies back and dealing higher CRIT DMG than average. When paired with 
Black Lemonade Cookie's 
Electrifying Rock Spirit, the ensuing calculations result in a truly absurd amount of extra damage that no enemies can stand against, as Twizzly Gummy Cookie gains 
Electrifying Rock! stacks faster than the eye can see. It's the most surefire way of clearing most stages in the game, needing only adequate CRIT%, high ATK for Black Lemonade Cookie, and allied Cookies that can keep them alive. 
Pudding à la Mode Cookie can be used as a replacement to Twizzly Gummy Cookie, or as an ally. Her 
Plasma Cannon deals multiple hits, and her summoned drones allow her regular attack speed to be the fastest in the game, which can activate Electrifying Rock Spirit quickly.
Stormbringer Cookie brings incredible passive buffs through her Supercharge, allowing allies to run full attacking or CRIT sets instead of worrying about survivability, however it is important to know that her Overcurrent will prevent Zap debuffs from being applied on enemies, reducing the damage that this combination deals while the debuff is applied.
Shining Glitter Cookie can be used as another damage dealer, hitting multiple times with 
All Eyes on the Stage!, allowing for fast stacks of Electrifying Rock Spirit to activate. The 
Grim-looking Electrifying Scythe can be used to allow Stormbringer Cookie to run ATK toppings while still keeping the Supercharge buff at its max capacity.
Darkness[]
| Cookies | Optional |
|---|---|
  |
  |
The Element of 
Darkness is very debuff focused, mainly against the opponent's CRIT Chance and healing capabilities.
All Darkness-type Cookies apply 
Consuming Darkness on enemies with their skils, but only a few of them deal extra damage based on the number of Consuming Darkness stacks on their targets. Because Cookies can only apply up to 3 stacks by themselves, putting multiple Darkness Cookies on a team allows them to deal more damage than they could on their own.
Dark Cacao Cookie (Dragon Lord) grants bonus DMG Resist and 
Darkness Absorption to 
Dark Choco Cookie if he's on the team, allowing them to both tank attacks better and combine their incredible damage output against bosses like the Red Velvet Dragon, once 
Downpour of Darkness is unlocked.
Black Raisin Cookie can be an incredible support, applying dangerous levels of Weakness quickly, while 
Caramel Arrow Cookie can be used to deal incredible amounts of damage very quickly, especially with her own ATK Up and ATK SPD Up buffs.
Wind[]
| Cookies | Optional | Treasures |
|---|---|---|
  |
 |
|
The Element of 
Wind is similar to Light, but focuses on debuffs instead of buffs.
Wind Archer Cookie is the core of the Wind composition, his 
Last Wind is an extremely powerful crowd-control Skill, allowing for enemies to be incapacitated by Stuns and 
Cyclones. 
Music of the Wind provides the ATK SPD Boost that Wind Archer Cookie needs, alongside the passive boosts from 
Tailwind.
Pastry Cookie is a wildcard choice, but if built correctly, she can be even more dangerous than Wind Archer can be. Her ATK SPD can reach supersonic levels, which allow for hundreds of attacks quickly due to the ricochet effect of 
Fervent Prayer. Rebel Cookie can also be used to increase the damage output further with his All-Types DMG Up debuff.
Cape of the Vanquisher is the optimal Treasure for this composition, as Wind-type Cookies gain extra benefits from it while also getting strong ATK SPD boosts.
Basic Synergies[]
Faeries[]
| Cookies | Optional |
|---|---|
  |
 |
When 
Mercurial Knight Cookie and 
Silverbell Cookie are on the same team, they'll enable the Silver Knighthood buff and grant each other free additional stat buffs to make themselves stronger. If 
White Lily Cookie or 
Elder Faerie Cookie are also on the team, they'll also receive certain buffs from this effect.
Sleep[]
| Cookies |
|---|
  |
Moonlight Cookie and 
Stardust Cookie are natural partners, primarily because 
Wrath of the Stars calls down meteors upon any enemies that succumb to Sleep. Both of them can naturally carry a team while remaining evasive enough to avoid being defeated, all the while forcing the Cooldowns of opponents to remain on pause for long periods of time, in addition to this they dish out massive amounts of damage.
Injury[]
| Cookies | Optional |
|---|---|
 |
|
While Injury typically has limited applications up to a point, 
Werewolf Cookie allows it to scale even further with the 
Fatal Wound debuff he inflicts with 
Lone Hunter, making enemies even more susceptible to burst damage. While 
Dark Cacao Cookie (and especially Dark Cacao Cookie (Dragon Lord)) can easily push Injury stacks to that higher maximum himself, both Werewolf Cookie and Espresso Cookie have the burst damage needed to make the most of it afterwards.
Three Sisters[]
| Cookies |
|---|
  |
The Three Sisters 
Choco Drizzle Cookie, 
Green Tea Mousse Cookie, and Pudding à la Mode Cookie work exceptionally well together due to the Team Drizzle effect they share by being on the same team together. Green Tea Mousse Cookie is a very powerful defender, with high levels of DMG Down applied to all allies. Pair that with her 
DMG Focus and the team is covered in the defensive department by her alone.
Choco Drizzle Cookie gets permanent ATK Up and 
CRIT% Up buffs from Team Drizzle, allowing her attacks to be extra powerful, ever the assassin however, her 
Penumbral Mark debuff cripples the main attacker of the opposition, opening the door for her little sister: Pudding à la Mode Cookie. Pudding à la Mode Cookie already deals heavy group damage with Skill icon, but her Drones are the star, since they prioritize targets with a Penumbral Mark, as well as applying dangerous levels of DEF Down quickly due to her undispellable ATK SPD Up buff. The girls focus on one target at a time, and they are very good at their job.
Classic Synergies[]
Summoners[]
| Front | Middle | Rear | Treasures | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | |
|
| |
| Optional |  |
  |
  |
The combination of the ATK SPD Up buff from 
Pumpkin Pie Cookie's 
Pompon, help! Skill, the ATK Up buff from 
Cotton Cookie's 
A Warm Light Skill, and Seamstress's Pin Cushion all greatly boost the DPS of summoned units, particularly for 
Oyster Cookie and 
Crunchy Chip Cookie. Although Pumpkin Pie Cookie and Cotton Cookie's summoned units can often be supportive enough on their own, to the point that a team can even forego having any Front Cookies in its composition.
Summoner compositions typically have trouble in today's meta due to the vast amount of team-wide damage available to Cookie teams. However, they can help get through World Exploration stages that deal high damage to Front Cookies, especially those that summon summoned creatures with Hit Shields for health.
Ryemond[]
| Cookies | Treasures |
|---|---|
  |
 or
|
Rye Cookie's 
Best Shot in the Kingdom Skill, which targets the most vulnerable enemy, tends to hit their target just before 
Almond Cookie 
Almond Handcuffs Skill lands, allowing a team to deal large amounts of damage to all enemies in a short amount of time. While much more reliant on maximized damage output than Gingerscam, this pair's damage combo is far more difficult to interrupt, and easier to hide in other team compositions without compromising them. On the other hand, DMG Resist on the lowest Health enemy blunts the effectiveness of this combo, especially if granted by 
Strawberry Crepe Cookie. Lower-tier teams may also add 
Beet Cookie and/or 
Vampire Cookie to further focus down a vulnerable target, though that particular strategy lacks long-term viability.
Important: You need to activate Almond Cookie's Skill right after Rye Cookie for the team pair to work.
Darkvamp[]
| Cookies | Optional | Treasures |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
|
Dark Choco Cookie and Vampire Cookie are a pair capable of taking down practically any Rear unit in one shot, especially in lower tiers where players are less likely to put DMG Resist Toppings or upgrades on their Rear Cookies. Using Dark Choco Cookie's 
Sword of Darkness Skill with the Pilgrim's Slingshot for further DefDown is the perfect setup for utilizing Vampire Cookie and his 
Fatal Bite Skill's immense sniping capabilities. This pair can immediately take out opposing units that would otherwise make or break an Arena Battle like 
Pure Vanilla Cookie or even another Vampire Cookie. If the target survives, they would have at least suffered a massive amount of damage.
For an even more effective snipe setup, 
Pomegranate Cookie and the Old Pilgrim's Scroll can provide a useful ATK Up buff to help increase the damage done by Vampire Cookie's Skill, and 
Eclair Cookie can apply Weakness with 
Book of History to boost the damage even further. Dark Cacao Cookie's 
Solemn Judgment can also be used for an additional -15.0% DEF. One simply has to be careful not attack backlines that stack DMG Resist, or teams with Sugar Swan's Shining Feather.
In addition, this pairing works well in both PvP and PvE, being particularly effective against big-bodied PvE Bosses with large HP pools like the Red Velvet Dragon, the Living Abyss, and the Cake Witch.
