Cookie Run Kingdom Version 4.4 update “Legend of the Red Dragon” set to release on May 18, 2023

Get ready for a new side-story, new cookies, and more!

Cookie Run: Kingdom will be releasing a new update, Version 4.4 “Legend of the Red Dragon” which will be released on the 18th of May, 2023. The new patch will be introducing a new side-story revolving around the Hollyberry plot-line back in the main quest where some of the Hollyberry Kingdom characters and antagonists will be featured. Additionally, the new update will be releasing new Cookies, limited Events, Special Episodes, and other miscellaneous updates.

A new type of rarity will be introduced in the new 4.4 Update classified as the “Dragon” Cookies. Just like the previously appointed ”Super Epic” Cookies, these Cookies will be on the rare types and have their own Gacha banners. With the addition of the new rarity, the team set up limits of the Kingdom Arena have also been updated: only three Ancient/Legendary/Dragon Cookies can be in the team at the same time. 

  • Rarity: Dragon
  • Type: Charge
  • Position: Front

  • Skill Description: Pitaya Dragon Cookie fires off two waves of draconic blade energy, dealing damage and reducing the amount of healing the targets receive. After this, the Cookie assumes its dragon form and spews flaming breath to deal damage ignoring DMG Resist and reducing the targets’ ATK. Whenever Pitaya Dragon Cookie uses their skill, they gain a stack of Pitaya Fury that will enhance the skill upon reaching the maximum stacks. When using the enhanced skill, Pitaya Dragon Cookie’s flaming breath will deal damage ignoring DMG Resist and decreasing the target’s resistance to Fire-type DMG. In their dragon form, the Cookie will gain increased CRIT% and remove all debuffs applied to themselves. As a Dragon Cookie, Pitaya Dragon Cookie will receive less damage from other Dragon Cookies and have their DMG Resist increased in proportion to their ATK enhanced with Toppings. While Pitaya Dragon Cookie is using their skill, they will briefly become resistant to interrupting effects.
  • Rarity: Epic
  • Type: Ambush
  • Position: Middle

  • Skill Description: Royal Margarine Cookie soars on Buttercream’s back and fires Buttercream Blasts at the 3 enemies with the highest ATK thrice. Buttercream Blasts deal damage, Poison the targets, and apply a DEF-decreasing debuff. Buttercream then rushes towards the enemies, dealing damage and additional damage in proportion to the number of periodic damage effects the targets’ have applied. Buttercream Blasts target boss monsters first. While Royal Margarine Cookie is using his skill, he will briefly become resistant to interrupting effects.

The Cookies’ adventures continue: see what happens next in the new Special Episode. The new Special Episode is a permanent story-mode feature that will be introduced in the new Version 4.4 patch.

You can check the Cookies that can equip the above Toppings in the Toppings info. As of May 18 (Version 4.4 Update), only Pitaya Dragon Cookie, Royal Margarine Cookie, Hollyberry Cookie, and Wildberry Cookie will be able to equip these Toppings. If you equip a Resonant Topping and regular Toppings from the same set, you will still gain the Set Effect. Draconic Toppings have higher minimum Bonus Stat values than regular Toppings and the same maximum values.

Here are some of the Limited Events that will be released in this patch.

The new patch will also introduce and implement a whole different Gacha system.  Increase your chances of pulling a desired Cookie with the new Chance Up system. The first Cookies to appear in the Chance Up Cookie Gacha are the protagonists of the Dragon’s Valley story: Hollyberry Cookie, Wildberry Cookie, and Royal Margarine Cookie. These cookies will have a higher chance of appearance than in the regular Cookie Gacha.

Once you have reached a given total number of pulls, you will receive a guaranteed Hollyberry Cookie. Use Lucky Cookie Tickets: Dragon Raid to pull Cookies in the Chance Up Cookie Gacha.

These items can be obtained through various events and missions. Unused Lucky Cookie Tickets will be converted to Coins once this Chance Up season is over.
