Best Toppings for the Hollyberry Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom
Hollyberry Cookie is a defense Cookie that received a huge buff in the 4.0 version that reduced her cooldown and increased her damage output. Some of the notable go-to Toppings would be the Swift Chocolate Toppings to reduce her cooldown.
Players can also utilize the full 5 sets of Solid Almond Toppings to increase their DMG resistance inflicted by the enemies. It is recommended that players prioritize giving her the full set of Solid Almond Toppings instead of the Swift Chocolate Toppings.

Final Thoughts
Hollyberry Cookie despite being an Ancient has had a rocky start in the META where rarities below her work exceptionally well in the Defense roster. Now with the added huge buff in Version 4.0, she quickly went up the ranks and is now one of the best Defense cookies in the game. Just like in any popular team comps, Hollyberry is paired with other Defense cookies to strengthen the defenses and provide adequate shielding.
