Pinecone Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom
Character Introduction
If you see a little Cookie running among the trees, it’s probably Pinecone Cookie, the mighty keeper of the forest. Get outta the way! Busy, busy! The forest is so vast, yet there’s only one Pinecone Cookie! There is so much to do: help the forest animals prepare for winter hibernation, straighten out the quarreling birds, find and scratch that itchy patch of bark for the oak tree, and much more!
Each choco bark layer of Pinecone Cookie’s imposing hat is filled with eagerness to protect their woodland home. That’s right: the forest has been their home for as long as they can remember—which is why they prefer the company of trees and animals.
Yes, the mighty forest keeper is hardly familiar with the ways of their fellow Cookies! But what does it matter when they know everything about the forest dwellers and can understand the language of the rustling leaves?!

Best Toppings for Pinecone Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom
Pinecone Cookie has an assortment of Toppings to choose from depending on what you prefer in their build. Additionally, after the Version 4.14 update, all Cookies or non-cookies that are released and have ties with the ‘Icicle Yeti’s Winter Song‘ storyline will be able to use the Frosted Crystal Toppings. These Toppings work just like the Moonkissed Toppings where the damage multipliers are boosted up from regular Toppings.
Since Pinecone Cookie is a Bomber Cookie and deals a high amount of damage, a full 5-piece set of Searing Raspberry Cookie is a good viable option that can be recommended. This can help increase their damage potential and dish out high numbers.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
 Searing Raspberry (Frosted Crystal Toppings) | A searing berry like this one can increase the Cookie’s ATK. Equip 3: +3% ATK Equip 5: +5% ATK Sub-stat Priority: ATK = DMG Resist > ATK SPD > CRIT > Amplify Buff > Cooldown |
 Solid Almond (Frosted Crystal Toppings) | 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 |
Other alternative Toppings can be the 5-piece Solid Almond Toppings. Since Pinecone Cookie is unfortunately at the Front position, they will be more perceptible to receiving most of the damage. Hence it will be advisable to use Solid Almond to increase their damage resistance.
Final Thoughts
With the added Magic Candy and the additional buffs in their kit, Pinecone Cookie is an overall good unit, especially for any F2P players who do not have Sea Fairy Cookie or other better Bomber Cookies. Pinecone Cookies works best in both the Kingdom Arena and the PvE.
