8 Things Not to do Before Aegis Hollyberry Cookie Awakened CRK Cookie Run Kingdom Guide

The long-awaited Awakened Aegis Hollyberry Cookie is just around the corner in Cookie Run: Kingdom, and many players are eager to see what she brings to the battlefield. With her Valkyrie wings and powerful transformation, Hollyberry is shaping up to be one of the most exciting updates yet.

But before you dive into the event headfirst, there are a few things you should absolutely avoid doing to maximize your resources and prepare properly. Here’s a full breakdown of everything you should not do before the Awakened Aegis Hollyberry update officially goes live. Also check out our Cookie Run Kingdom Tier List & Codes for beginner that are hype for this update!

1. Do NOT Spend Your Crystals or Cookie Cutters Yet

With banners for Eternal Sugar and soon Awakened Hollyberry running back-to-back, it’s best to save all your crystals and cookie cutters, especially the Faithful Cookie Cutters. These cutters can be used to pull from special banners that may feature Hollyberry Awakened and Eternal Sugar before they’re moved to the standard pool. Wasting your resources now could mean missing out on powerful cookies later.

2. Do NOT Waste Your Rainbow Cubes

Legendary costumes for Awakened Hollyberry and Eternal Sugar have been confirmed, similar to Pure Vanilla and Shadow Milk. That means a special costume banner is likely incoming, and rainbow cubes will be essential. Avoid spending any on current banners and save them up so you can aim for those rare, highly valuable outfits once they’re released.

3. Avoid Farming Random Skill Powders

Make sure you’re farming specific skill powders tied to the classes of upcoming characters. Hollyberry is a Defense Cookie, and Raspberry (rumored for a rework) is Charge, so prioritize those. With the current 80% burning time bonus, you’ll get more value by targeting what you need instead of leaving it to chance.

4. Do NOT Use Juicy Stamina Jelly Carelessly

Juicy Stamina Jellies should be reserved exclusively for the Monster Menace mode. This mode not only offers strong rewards like Legendary Biscuits and Rainbow Cubes but also helps with missions tied to stamina use. Save the rest for Episode 10, which will release alongside the update and require heavy stamina usage to progress through and unlock rewards.
You can AFK farm around 120 Juicy Stamina Jellies daily, so stack up now. Over the next few days, you could farm nearly 480 jellies—plenty to help you explore the new content.

5. Do NOT Spend All Your Beast Raid Resources

With Master and Challenge modes coming soon to the Beast Raid, it’s wise to hold off on spending your Beast Raid tickets. Save them for the newer, harder modes that are expected to drop with better loot and updated mission challenges. Instead, focus on clearing the current shop for must-haves like Soul Stones, Radiant Biscuits, and Raid Tickets (if you’re farming materials for upgrades).

6. Do NOT Slack on Boss Rush

While preparing for Hollyberry, don’t forget Boss Rush is still a goldmine for rewards. Soul Stones, Skill Powders, Radiant Biscuit Dough, and even 100 Cookie Cutters are up for grabs. Complete these runs before the event ends to make sure you’re stocked up for the update.

7. Avoid Spending EXP Star Jellies on Random Cookies

With the new update days away, save all EXP Star Jellies for Hollyberry Awakened or other cookies that will be meta-relevant. Don’t use them on underwhelming or placeholder units that you’ll replace in just a few days.

8. Don’t Let Your Tickets Expire

Some event tickets have a time limit, so be sure to use them before they vanish. Double-check their expiration and plan your plays so you don’t lose out on free summons or rewards right before the patch drops.

The Awakened Aegis Hollyberry update is shaping up to be massive for Cookie Run: Kingdom, with new banners, episodes, modes, and meta-defining units. Now is the time to conserve, plan, and prepare, not to spend carelessly. By avoiding these common mistakes, you’ll have the upper hand once the update hits and be ready to summon, power up, and explore with no regrets. Stay focused, stock up, and prepare for one of CRK’s biggest updates yet.
