With the release of Grapefruit Cookie, the Citrus Squad in Cookie Run: Kingdom is officially complete. While Grapefruit Cookie isn’t breaking the meta, she offers solid utility, strong defensive buffs, and synergy with other Citrus Squad members. Here’s a full guide covering her skills, best toppings, team comps, and whether she’s worth pulling for. Check out the rest of Citrus Squad Cookies such as Lemon, Orange and More!
Who is Grapefruit Cookie?
Grapefruit Cookie is a Front Charge Cookie who plays more of a tank/support role rather than a pure damage dealer. She’s part of the new Citrus Squad Bond, which grants extra stats to all members when collected:
- +200 ATK to all cookies in the bond
- +2% CRIT DMG (a rare stat boost in CRK)
Considering CRIT DMG is otherwise only available from the Laboratory and the Altar of the Fallen landmark, this bond bonus is valuable for long-term account growth.
Grapefruit Cookie Skill – Catch Me If You Can
At level 90 with a 13-second cooldown, Grapefruit Cookie’s skill offers a mix of crowd control, debuffs, and survivability:
- Charges forward on roller skates, dazing enemies
- Reduces DEF by 35% for 10 seconds (1 stack)
- Reduces ATK by 19.5% for 10 seconds (1 stack)
- Applies Taunt for 5 seconds at the end of her dash
- Grants herself a 45% Max HP shield for 5 seconds
- Increases DMG Resist by 15% with shield active
- Extra DMG Resist (+8% per Citrus Squad member) up to +32%
Citrus Party Effect
When teamed with other Citrus Squad cookies, Grapefruit and the squad gain:
- +5% CRIT Rate & +6% CRIT DMG per Citrus member
- +7% Electric-type DMG per Citrus member (highest ATK cookie gets this)
- +22.5% ATK boost for other Citrus Squad members
Best Toppings for Grapefruit Cookie
Grapefruit Cookie can be built for either max survivability or skill uptime depending on your team’s needs:
- Full Swift Chocolate – Maximizes skill frequency for constant taunts, debuffs, and shields. Ideal for Arena control teams.
- Full Solid Almond – For pure tanking, letting her absorb hits while keeping her shield up longer.
- Mixed Build – 3 Swift Chocolate + 2 Solid Almond for a balance of cooldown and durability.
Best Teams for Grapefruit Cookie
1. Full Citrus Squad (Bond Focus)
- Grapefruit Cookie (Front Tank)
- Lemon Cookie (Main DPS – benefits most from Citrus buffs)
- Lime Cookie (Electric damage synergy)
- Orange Cookie (Utility/DPS)
- Any strong healer (Pure Vanilla, Herb, or Cream Unicorn)
This setup maximizes the Citrus Party Effect for big CRIT and Electric damage boosts.
2. Beginner Tank Lineup (for new players)
- Grapefruit Cookie (Front Tank & Debuff)
- Wildberry Cookie or Hollyberry Cookie (Secondary Tank)
- Eclair Cookie (Defense shred + burst DPS)
- Rye Cookie or Vampire Cookie (Single target DPS)
- Herb Cookie or Cotton Cookie (Healing & utility)
Is Grapefruit Cookie Worth Pulling?
- For new players: Yes — she’s a solid, beginner-friendly frontliner with a huge HP shield, strong debuffs, and decent tank stats.
- For veteran/meta players: Only if you want the Citrus Squad Bond for permanent account buffs or enjoy themed teams. She’s not likely to replace top-tier tanks in high-rank Arena or 7v7 modes.
Grapefruit Cookie shines as a defensive support who keeps her team alive and weakens enemies, especially when paired with other Citrus Squad members. While she’s not a must-pull for competitive play, the Citrus Bond’s rare CRIT DMG bonus makes her worth considering for long-term account progression. If you’re a collector or enjoy running theme teams, the complete Citrus Squad can be both fun and effective — just don’t expect Grapefruit to carry your damage charts.
