The highly anticipated Grand Cookie Games update is coming soon to Cookie Run: Kingdom, and with it, a host of exciting new features, including new cookies, costumes, and gameplay modes. However, before the update drops, there are several important tasks and events you should take care of to ensure you’re fully prepared and can make the most out of the new content. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to do before the Epic Arena update and the Grand Cookie Games update are live.
6 Things You Need to Do Before the Cookie Run Kingdom Update – December 2024
1. Take Advantage of Time-Limited Events
With the upcoming update, several current events will be disappearing. If you’ve been slacking or haven’t had a chance to fully participate in these events, now is the time to dive in. Completing these events can earn you valuable resources and items that may not be available after the update. Be sure to finish any ongoing special episodes or limited-time activities like the Tile Matching and Bounty missions. Don’t leave these rewards behind!
2. Save Your Resources
One of the most important things to do before the update is to save up your Cookie Cutters and Crystals. The new update will introduce several new cookies, but it’s advised that you hold off on spending resources on the current banners.
Specifically, Camellia may not be the best cookie to pull for, so it’s better to save your resources for the more powerful cookies coming in the next update. The New Mode, a new cookie, is expected to be especially useful in the Guild system, so holding onto your resources for her banner is a smart move.
Also, Rainbow Cubes should be reserved for later, as these are used to purchase epic costumes, which can be bought at a later time when you’re in need of them.
3. Prepare for New Game Modes and Cookies
The Grand Cookie Games update is set to bring three new cookies, as well as multiple new costumes. The cookies are likely to include two in the first part and one more in the second part of the update.
Alam Mode is expected to be a highly useful cookie for Guild activities, so prioritize saving resources for her banner. Additionally, expect to see new costumes with two legendary and three epic sets, alongside other special costumes.
You’ll want to ensure you’re ready to level up these new cookies once they’re available, so don’t miss out on getting the necessary resources like Twilight Lotus drops, which are a key resource for leveling cookies. Missing out on the do drops now will require you to spend Crystals later, which is something you want to avoid if possible.
4. Update Your Arena Strategy for the Epic-Only Arena
A major feature of the upcoming update is the Epic-Only Arena. This new competitive mode will restrict players to using only Epic cookies, with one Super Epic cookie allowed. This is a great opportunity to test your knowledge of Epic cookies and how they synergize in battle.
- Preparation: To excel in this mode, focus on brushing up your skills with Epic cookies. Learn about their unique abilities, synergy, and optimal toppings to make sure you’re ready for the challenge.
- Strategic Advice: It’s essential to have a good understanding of the current Epic cookie roster. For example, you’ll need to know how to use Alam Mode (who is expected to be a Bomber), and Choco Drizzle (who will be an Ambush cookie). Make sure you have their respective resident toppings ready to go.
5. Upgrade Your Cake Tower and Farm Powders
Don’t forget about the Cake Tower and its upcoming expansions. With more levels expected, now is a good time to focus on gathering extra resources from the tower before the update drops.
Additionally, check your Bounty section and ensure you’ve selected the correct powders. Some players make the mistake of leaving it on random selection, which could waste valuable resources. Set the powder selection to the type you need and farm for the right resources to prepare for the next update.
6. Prepare for Changes to the Do Drops System
The Twilight Lotus system will see changes after the update, meaning if you haven’t collected enough do drops before the update, you’ll need to use Crystals to upgrade your Twilight Lotus. This is something you’ll want to avoid if possible, so be sure to farm those do drops while you can!
The Grand Cookie Games update promises to be one of the most exciting updates in Cookie Run: Kingdom history, bringing in new cookies, costumes, and game modes. However, there’s a lot to do in preparation before the update lands.
By following this guide, you can ensure that you’ve completed all necessary events, saved your resources, and are prepared for the new challenges ahead, particularly with the Epic-Only Arena and new cookie banners. Don’t forget to prepare your Arena strategy and take full advantage of the time-limited events and resources, so you can hit the ground running when the update goes live!
