As the second citrus squad member, Orange Cookie brings unique electricity-type attacks that can add interesting mechanics to your team. This guide will cover Orange Cookie’s abilities, the best toppings to use, and team compositions that maximize her potential.

Understanding Orange Cookie’s Skills and Role
Orange Cookie specializes in magic damage and uses a tennis racket-like weapon to deliver powerful electric attacks. Her main skill, Juicy Serve, unleashes three explosive tennis balls that deal AoE damage with a zap debuff, amplifying damage against affected enemies. Each explosion applies zesty juice crit damage amplification and electricity damage debuffs that stack, allowing the entire citrus squad to benefit from crit and zap bonuses.
- Damage Breakdown: The first hit deals around 795% attack damage, with subsequent explosions dealing roughly half of that.
- Zap Effects: Enemies hit by Orange’s skill receive an electricity damage debuff and take increased damage from crit attacks by other citrus squad members.
- Citrus Buffs: The more citrus cookies on the team, the stronger the crit rate, crit damage, and electric damage buffs, stacking up to four members.
Despite being magic-type, Orange Cookie’s damage output is solid in PvE with a skill cooldown of 12 seconds. However, her survivability is low, and she requires support or tank teammates to stay alive in tough battles.
Best Toppings for Orange Cookie
To maximize Orange Cookie’s potential, choosing the right toppings is essential:
- Swift Chocolate: Improves and helping her skill cooldown cycle faster.
- Searing Raspberry: Adds damage increasing overall.
Team Compositions with Orange Cookie
Orange Cookie works best in a citrus squad to fully utilize the team buff mechanics. Here’s how you can build around her:
- Citrus Squad Core: Combine Orange Cookie with Lemon Cookie and other citrus members to stack crit rate, crit damage, and zap debuffs.
- Support & Tank: Since Orange Cookie is fragile, adding a strong support like Cream Ferret or a tank such as Hollyberry Cookie can keep her alive longer in battle.
- Burst Damage Cookie: Pair her with other burst damage cookies who benefit from zap debuffs and crit buffs to maximize team damage.
A popular tactic is to use Orange Cookie to debuff enemies with zap and follow up with Lemon Cookie, who benefits from the amplified damage to clear enemies quickly.
Should You Invest in Orange Cookie?
While Orange Cookie offers some unique mechanics, the general consensus is to pull only one copy unless you are building a full citrus squad. She can be situationally useful, especially in PvE or specific events like the upcoming arcade arena. However, she might not be worth investing heavily in terms of skill powders and star jellies compared to other epic cookies. Waiting for other notable cookies like Holly Berry to enter the banner might be a better option before fully committing your resources.
Orange Cookie brings fresh elements to Cookie Run Kingdom with her electric attacks and citrus squad buffs. She’s a solid magic-type epic cookie who shines best with the right team and toppings. If you’re a fan of the citrus squad or want to experiment with electric damage mechanics, grabbing Orange Cookie and trying her out in your team is worthwhile.
However, if you’re looking for a heavy hitter or long-term investment, it’s better to hold off on fully upgrading her and wait for stronger banners. Use her skill strategically, stack citrus buffs, and build a balanced team to get the most out of this new epic cookie.
