Ready to conquer the ranks and collect your Diamonds? Here are the best cookies for Cookie Run Kingdom Arena mode!
The Arena mode is one of Cookie Run Kingdom’s most exciting and competitive game modes. Aside from being the only Player vs. Player modes, the Arena also has one of the highest Diamond rewards at the end of the season!
Given that you could only bring five cookies to the Arena, we’ve included all roles and the best cookies for you to try with your team comps.
Best Charge Cookies for Arena
Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Pitaya Dragon is a unique cookie and is the only Dragon-tier cookie in terms of rarity. This cookie excels in burst-fire damage and bypasses many defense front-line cookies due to its ability to ignore damage resist. Moreover, Pitaya Dragon can also reduce the healing of enemy Cookies.

| Best Beascuit Stats | ATK, CRIT, DMG Resist |
Burnt Cheese Cookie
This epic-grade cookie is one of the best charge-type cookies in the game. Unlike Pitaya, whose priority is to disable the abilities and armor of the enemy team, Burnt Cheese focuses on buffing all allies and protecting the cookie with the highest ATK.

| Best Beascuit Stats | ATK, Cooldown, CRIT |
Best Defense Cookies for Arena
Financier Cookie
Financier Cookie is one of the cookies whose staying power in the Meta has long been proven and tested. Her ability to protect the most powerful cookie on your team is one of the best abilities in the arena.

| Best Beascuit Stats | DEF, Cooldown, Crit Resist |
Holly Berry Cookie
As the rarest type of cookie in the game, an Ancient cookie will always be a cut above the rest. While plenty of other Defense Cookies have soared in the meta charts on the game, Holly Berry’s stacks and damage absorption will always be a good addition to safeguard your team.

| Best Beascuit Stats | DEF, DMG Resist, Crit Resist |
Crimson Coral Cookie
I have always found it hard to defeat teams with Crimson Coral Cookie, no matter how high my overall team power is over my enemy. This stunning mermaid has the ability to cast an HP shield dedicated to two of your most powerful Cookies.

Best Ranged Cookies for Arena
Golden Cheese Cookie
Golden Cheese cookie is one of the top-performing cookies in the current meta. Aside from her insane earth-type damage and crit rate, she also has the ability to be invulnerable when her HP reaches a near-death amount.

Best Magic Cookies for Arena
Frost Queen Cookie
Frost Queen Cookie has been my long-time companion in the Arena. Her ability easily lowers enemy HP, debuffs, and freezes these enemies for a long time.

| Best Beascuit Stats | ATK, Cooldown, CRIT |
Moonlight Cookie
Moonlight Cookie is a fan-favorite due to her visuals, but this tough cookie is more than her looks. This Super-Epic cookie makes enemy cookies Drowsy and puts them to sleep, making them more vulnerable to your team’s attacks and pausing their ability cooldowns.

| Best Beascuit Stats | ATK, Cooldown, CRIT |
Best Bomber Cookies for Arena
White Lily Cookie
I used to avoid bomber cookies in my team, but White Lily Cookie changed that. This Ancient cookie can “restore” cookies that get debuffed while simultaneously healing her allies.

| Best Beascuit Stats | ATK, Cooldown, CRIT |
Best Ambush Cookies for Arena
Black Pearl Cookie
It is no exaggeration that Black Pearl Cookie is a favorite among Cookie Run Kingdom players. This cookie deals periodic damage even to enemy cookies with DMG Resist and even during interruptions.

Best Support Cookies for Arena
Parfait Cookie
You don’t need rare cookies to make it in the Arena! This Epic-grade cookie is powerful, especially if you level up her Magic Candy (Sweet Melody). Parfait increases DEF, heals, and grants resistance to all debuffs.
| Best Toppings |  |
| Best Beascuit Stats | Cooldown, DMG Resist, DEF |
Snapdragon Cookie
This Special cookie is available by hatching their eggs in the upper left area of your Kingdom. Her invulnerability makes Snapdragon Cookie unique, meaning she’s completely safe from enemy attacks. Moreover, she grants Stun Resists, DMG Resist, and HP Shields to her allies.

| Best Beascuit Stats | Cooldown, DMG Resist, DEF |
Best Healer Cookies for Arena
Icicle Yeti Cookie
Snapdragon Cookie’s twin, Icicle Yeti Cookie, is one cookie you should try in the Arena. While Healing cookies are usually positioned in the rear end of your team, the Icicle Yeti cookie takes the front position. This cookie buffs all allies, heals, and jumps in front of your team to protect them from harm!

Pure Vanilla Cookie
There is a reason why I jumped for joy the moment I pulled Pure Vanilla Cookie. One of the best healers in the game, Pure Vanilla replenishes ally HPs and casts shields to your team.
