The April 2025 PVP tier list for Cookie Run Kingdom introduces some exciting new shifts in the competitive scene. While there have been updates with the addition of two new cookies, Wedding Cake Cookie and Black Forest Cookie, the overall Arena meta remains quite consistent with some minor tweaks. In this guide, we will go over the updated tier list, discuss the best cookies to use, and highlight those that have dropped out of favor.

New Additions: Wedding Cake Cookie & Black Forest Cookie

  • Black Forest Cookie and Wedding Cake Cookie are primarily focused on guild boss battles and are not currently performing well in the Arena. While both have niche uses, they aren’t strong enough to break into the competitive PVP scene as of now.
  • Black Forest has some potential but struggles against current meta tanks, and Wedding Cake is not well-suited for the Arena at this time. They both land in the A Tier for now, but their future in PVP looks limited unless future updates enhance their performance.

CRK Cookie Run Kingdom April 2025 Tier List

Tier Breakdown: D to S

  • D Tier (Avoid These Cookies):

    • Sonic, Tiger
    • These cookies were once in the meta but have been outclassed by newer and more powerful cookies. If you’re looking to climb the ranks in the Arena, it’s best to steer clear of these cookies.
  • C Tier (Not the Best Options):

    • Chili Pepper, Cherry Blossom
    • While these cookies have potential, they don’t quite measure up in the current PVP meta. Consider them lower-tier picks if you have no other options, but there are better choices out there.
  • B Tier (Average Performers):

    • Milk Cookie, Red
    • These cookies can still perform decently in certain situations, but they lack the power or versatility to compete with the top-tier options. They can still be useful in lower ranks like Masters or below.
  • A Tier (Solid Choices):

    • Candy Apple, BTS
    • These cookies offer solid performance in the Arena. While they may not be the absolute best, they can certainly hold their own in most situations, especially with the right toppings and builds.
  • S Tier (High-Level Choices):

    • HollyBerry, Parfait, White Lily (now moved from SS to S)
    • The S-tier cookies are considered high performers. They might not always be the top-tier picks, but they have a strong presence in the Arena. HollyBerry, in particular, is expected to be even stronger once her awakening is released in June 2025, so keep an eye on her.

SS Tier: Top Cookies to Use

  • Moonlight, Stormbringer, Mystic Flower, Dark Cacao, Green Tea Moose, Fettuccini, Icicle, Yeti, Snapdragon
    • The SS tier is where you’ll find the top cookies for PVP in April 2025. These cookies excel in the Arena and can be relied upon to climb through the ranks.
    • Moonlight and Stormbringer are still top-tier, though they require specific comps and are best used with a crystal jam at level 20. Green Tea Moose and Fettuccini are great epic tanks, especially for those without access to top-tier legendary tanks.
    • Yeti and Snapdragon offer strong utility, and while they aren’t required to dominate the Arena, they are excellent choices for most teams.

How Good is the Awakening Pure Vanilla?

Pure Vanilla Cookie is a must have for the current META especially for the PVE section, where in the beast yeast it can increase the overall stats. However, there are many other cookie in the current META that actually dominate the PVP section.

How Good is the Shadow Milk Cookie & Candy Apple Cookie?

The Shadow Milk Cookie is definitely one of the META in PVP content, with its power that deal massive damage and definitely in the META Category or OP tier, however the difficulty in obtaining the character is high since it is a new limited unit.

Candy Apple Cookie however is mostly used in the guild battle which is the Red Dragon, however she is quite OP for beginner with S Tier especially with the debuff that she provide. More info regarding the Cookies:
