Financier Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom
Character Introduction
“I will only kneel before the Divines!” Financier Cookie has the qualities of an exemplary Paladin: she is most humble and sincere when offering a prayer yet radiates confidence and power when wielding her sword. No other cadet of the Paladin Academy could parallel Financier Cookie’s outstanding abilities—perhaps, she was meant to be chosen for the honorable position of the Republic Consul’s bodyguard.
A true Paladin does not flinch at an order: the greatest deeds perpetuating the order’s glory are done by those who are not afraid of challenges, and Financier Cookie marches towards her goal with scrupulous and cold determination. But appearances can be deceiving: seek the Republic’s most unfortunate, and they will tell you the Paladin’s heart is full of kindness and compassion.
Costume Sets
Brilliance of Justice: Even within clusters of stars some shine particularly bright, like Financier Cookie with her star scale, measuring out justice! The sight of this Cookie judging with her eyes covered is so divine that you do nothing but revere her.
Play-style and Skillset
- Rarity: Epic Cookie
- Type: Defense Cookie

| Name | Description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 Paladin Protection | Like a true Paladin of unfaltering belief, Financier Cookie protects an ally Cookie from the start of the battle until the moment she hits the ground. Financier Cookie’s top priority is Clotted Cream Cookie, but if he is not present, she’ll protect the allied Cookie with the highest ATK. Upon using her skill, Financier Cookie’s regular attack will deal area damage, she will also heal herself, and the Cookie she is protecting, increase their ATK, DMG, and CRIT Resist, and grant them the Light’s Shield. She will then deal area damage against her enemies. The Light’s Shield will act as a Shield and deliver the Light’s Judgment to those who dare to damage it when it disappears. While Financier Cookie is using her skill, she will briefly become resistant to interrupting effects. (Cooldown: 15 seconds) | Financier Cookie is like the guardian angel of her team, especially keeping a watchful eye on Clotted Cream Cookie or whoever is the strongest ally. When she uses her special move, her regular attacks hit more enemies at once, and she takes a moment to heal herself. The ally she’s protecting gets a boost in attack power, overall damage, and becomes better at resisting critical hits. Plus, Financier Cookie gives them a Light’s Shield, which not only acts as a protective barrier but also turns into a counterattack, punishing any enemies who dare to damage it. While she’s doing all of this, she becomes briefly resistant to being interrupted, ensuring her protective magic goes off without a hitch. In a nutshell, she’s a loyal defender, spreading protection and empowerment to her team. |
Magic Candy
Financier Cookie receives a Magic Candy during the Dawn of the Dragon update back in Version 4.16. To briefly summarize the purpose of Magic Candy, they are an equipable item solely created to use for the intended Cookie to exponentially buff the playable Cookie and their kit. The Magic Candy is only given to certain Cookies that have long been power-crept due to the ever-changing META of the game to make them more viable to use in especially PvP-focused battles. Â

 Paladin’s Devotion | The devoted Paladin protects one of the Cookies of the team, increasing their DMG Resist, CRIT Resist, and providing Debuff Immunity.

Additionally, she heals the whole team based on a portion of her defensive strength and enhances their resistance to damage. She’s not only guarding a specific teammate but also looking out for the entire squad. |

Best Toppings for Financier Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom
Financier Cookie has an assortment of Toppings to choose from depending on what you prefer in her build. Using a full Swift Chocolate Topping set on Financier Cookie lets her use his skills as often as possible. There’s no specific cooldown requirement for Financier, but we recommend getting at least 16% cooldown.
So she can protect your chosen cookie right before the second set of enemy skills starts. Additionally, you’ll need at least 20% DMG Resist on her. The higher you can go, the better. A lot of players opt for Swift Chocolate sets instead of Whole Almond sets. This is because her extra DMG Resist on her skill makes her tanky enough.
For a more defensive build, you can go for Solid Almond Toppings Note that a full Whole Almonds set provides 20.5% DMG Resist, and an additional 5% from the “set effect” bonus, totaling up to 25.5%. Since the maximum DMG Resist, you can get from toppings substats is 6%, in theory, you can have 50.5% DMG Resist on her. However, most experienced players “settle” for around 45% to 49%.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
 Swift Chocolate | Eat before it melts! This chocolate can decrease the Cookie’s Cooldown. Equip 5: -5% Cooldown Sub-stat Priority: ATK = DMG Resist > ATK SPD > CRIT > Amplify Buff > Cooldown |
 Solid Almond | A solid almond like this one can increase the Cookie’s DMG Resist. Equip 5: +5% DMG Resist Sub-stat Priority: ATK = DMG Resist > ATK SPD > CRIT > Amplify Buff > Cooldown |
Final Thoughts
Financier works more as a support cookie than a tank. However, she’s still a strong cookie with beefy stats. When she activates her skill, she buffs she buffs the cookie with the highest ATK stat. Her buffs include extra healing, DMG Resist, and CRIT Resist. This makes her exceptionally useful in the arena, where a lot of cookies can do CRIT DMG on your cookies and wipe them out immediately. With the addition of her Magic Candy, Financier Cookie secured a solid S+ tier in the PvP META list.
