Tier List

Where does your favourite Cookie rank at launch? Our launch meta ranking of all 69 Cookies from SS to D.

This ranking reflects the launch meta of CookieRun: Crumble: TSSR headliners Oven Wanderer Cookie and Wind Archer Cookie lead the pack, while strong SSR supports such as Pomegranate Cookie anchor most endgame teams. We re-rank the list whenever balance changes or new Cookies arrive with updates.

How to Use This Tier List

Use this list as a planning tool, not a permanent verdict. A Cookie's value changes with star grade, skill level, gear and the synergy partners around it. When you are stuck on a stage, check whether your lineup activates at least four synergy types before swapping in a higher-ranked Cookie. The rankings below reflect the launch meta and are updated whenever balance changes or new Cookies arrive.

Tier SS holds the two TSSR headliners: Oven Wanderer Cookie, Wind Archer Cookie. Both are top-tier carries that work in almost every team and game mode, and both are worth maxing out as long-term investments.

Tier S is the SSR core of the meta with 20 Cookies: Vampire Cookie, Espresso Cookie, Strawberry Crepe Cookie, Cream Puff Cookie, Twizzly Gummy Cookie. These are the strongest all-rounders at launch — the backbone of most story, Arena and boss teams.

Tier A has 15 SR Cookies: Licorice Cookie, Herb Cookie, Rye Cookie, Popcorn Cookie, Dr. Wasabi Cookie. They are strong when built around the right synergy, and several are excellent budget alternatives to Tier S picks.

Tier C holds 11 Uncommon Cookies: Cheerleader Cookie, Knight Cookie, Angel Cookie, Onion Cookie, Adventurer Cookie. They are niche picks that fill a missing role or synergy early, but usually get replaced once higher-rarity Cookies arrive.

CookieRun: Crumble Tier List FAQ

Is the CookieRun: Crumble tier list the same for every game mode?

No. Story stages often favor focused damage and defense reduction, Arena rewards burst and survivability, and farming stages need fast wave clear. Use this list as a baseline, then adjust for the mode you are playing.

Can lower-rarity Cookies compete with higher-rarity ones?

Yes, in the right team. A Tier B or C Cookie with max stars, good gear and active synergies can outperform an unbuilt SSR. Compare Cookies at similar investment levels instead of judging rarity alone.

Which Cookies should I prioritize at launch?

Start with the Tier SS headliners Oven Wanderer Cookie and Wind Archer Cookie if you own them. Otherwise build a balanced core from Tier S: one Tanker, one Supporter and two damage dealers, then add synergy partners from Tier A.

When will the tier list be updated?

We re-rank whenever balance changes or new Cookies and Pets arrive. The first content update is scheduled for August 13, so expect a refresh shortly after it lands.

What is the current CookieRun: Crumble meta after the August 13 update?

The launch meta still holds: Oven Wanderer Cookie and Wind Archer Cookie lead, with Pomegranate Cookie anchoring most endgame teams. The August 13 update added Cool Mint Cookie (SSR Water) — she is strong in stage and dungeon content but still being tested, and we will slot her into the ranking once the meta settles.
