Cooldown

Cooldown

Data

Cooldown (or CD) is the amount of time it takes before a Cookie is able to use their skill. When a skill is under this state, it can be considered "on Cooldown".

Cooldown can be interacted with in many ways such as being reduced, increased, and even paused. The maximum amount of Cooldown Reduction a Cookie can have is -60%.

Tips

“I've precisely calculated my victory! Yours, however...„ ↕
	The contents of this section are based on the experiences of its editors. Success with its advice will vary from player to player.

• On auto-battle (the mode in which battles in Kingdom Arena, Super Mayhem, and Cookie Alliance are fought) the game will prioritize the skills of the frontmost Cookies.
  • Visually in-game, a Cookie team's skills are queued from right to left. If two Cookies are in the same position, the one on the left is considered lower priority.
  • If the skill of a Cookie is not yet off Cooldown, the game will check further down the rear of the team until it finds the next skill off Cooldown, looping back to the front of the team if it finds none.
  • Even if a Cookie in front of the active Cookie has their skill off Cooldown, the game will instead prioritize Cookies behind the active Cookie, if their skills are off Cooldown instead.
• In Kingdom Arena, the earliest that any Cookie can use their skill is around 2s after the start of the battle. This means that Cookies with starting cooldowns of 1 second or even 0 seconds will not cast their skills earlier than an enemy Cookie with 2 second starting cooldown.
• Manipulating this behavior via Cooldown reduction from toppings is essential for creating combos between Cookie skills in auto-battle mode, since the player otherwise has no control over the timing and order that their Cookies use their skills.
• Understanding the starting Cooldowns of Cookies and how their skills might be ordered is important for predicting how the Cookie teams of other players might behave. A Cookie's skill might come out earlier or later than normal depending on the team's composition, and it's up to the attacker to either take advantage of that delay or watch out for that skill timing.
• The game typically waits one second before using the next Cookie's Cooldown based on the active Cookie's casting time. This casting time can be reduced based on the active Cookie's ATK SPD, which can be increased with effects such as Librarian's Enchanted Robes or Battlefield Symphony. This can be especially helpful when two Cookies' skills recharge at the same time.

Example 1: Cheese Comp

• $\{\text{Almond}, c_4,c_3,c_2,c_1\}$ - This composition requires chaining other Cookies' skills with Almond Cookie, who is always last in the Cookie Card Order. However, because Almond Handcuffs only has a duration of 3 seconds, skill Cooldowns must be purposely set such that other Cookies use their skills after Almond Cookie uses his, in order to make the most of the Damage Link.
  • $\{{\text{Starting Cooldowns}}\}\rightarrow \{{\text{Cookie Order}}\}$
  • $\{4,5,5,4,4\} \rightarrow \{5,4,3,2,1\}$ - (Bad) Almond Cookie is queued last, and all the other Cookies already used their skills.
  • $\{4,3,5,5,5\} \rightarrow \{2,1,5,4,3\}$ - (Good) Almond Cookie can queue earlier. However, he is 1 second early before any DPS Cookie can use their skills.
  • $\{4,5,5,3,2\} \rightarrow \{3,5,4,2,1\}$ - (Best) Almond Cookie can use his skill directly before a carry's damage hits.

Example 2: Defensive Teams

• $\{\text{Parfait}, c_4 , c_3 , c_2 ,\text{Cocoa}\}$
  • $\{4,5,5,5,3\} \rightarrow \{2,5,4,3,1\}$ - Cocoa Is Love and Paru-paru-parfait!★ will be used sequentially at the beginning, protecting the rest of the team from crowd-control debuffs before they can use their skills.
• $\{\text{Pure Vanilla}, \text{Cotton}, c_3 , c_2 ,\text{Crepe}\}$ .
  • $\{5,4,5,5,3\} \rightarrow \{3,2,5,4,1\}$ - Crepe Thrust, A Warm Light, and Love & Peace are used sequentially at the beginning, protecting the remaining two Cookies from almost any amount of burst damage that an enemy team may also inflict during that time.
