What Is Boss Rush and How Does It Work?
The Boss Rush event in Cookie Run: Kingdom is a limited-time mode where you battle a series of powerful bosses one after another. Each stage has unique conditions and synergies that reward specific strategies or elemental setups. Here’s what sets Boss Rush apart:
- Maxed-Out Cookies: All cookies are automatically set to level 90, including their skill levels.
- Boosted Biscuits: Even if you haven’t upgraded a biscuit past level 20, it will be treated as level 20 for the event.
- No External Buffs: Guild relics, landmarks, costumes, and other outside stat boosts are disabled.
- Elemental Conditions: Each boss has specific weaknesses—like increased damage from electricity, water, or multiple-hit attacks.
- Shop Rewards: You earn Boss Rush coins that can be spent in a special event shop, offering eternal soul stones, cookie cutters, skill powders, and more.
- Ranking Rewards: Competitive players can aim for high scores to earn thousands of crystals, but the real value is in farming the shop.
