Cookie Run Kingdom Silent Salt & Charcoal Cookie Skill Leaks!

The September 24th update for Cookie Run Kingdom is packed with content, bringing two powerful new cookies, a new episode, challenge modes, treasures, and quality-of-life changes. Let’s break down what you can expect and why this update is such a big deal. Check out our Cookie Run Kingdom Codes and Tier list!

Silent Salt Cookie: The Beast Cookie

Silent Salt is an Ambush Beast Cookie who uses the skill End of Silence. He summons his steed, Nox Black Salt, unleashing massive damage and silencing enemies. Key traits:

1. Summons Nox Black Salt – Silent Salt charges forward and splits the shaded moon in half, causing a massive explosion that deals heavy damage to enemies.

2. Fury of the Catacombs – At the start of battle, the enemy with the highest attack (non-safeguarded target) is marked. Once fully stacked, this debuff punishes the target until they’re defeated, then moves to the next highest-attack enemy.

3. Silent Demise Effect – When an enemy’s HP drops below a certain point, the strongest attackers are inflicted with Silent Demise, instantly triggering punishment effects.

4. Cooldown Immunity – Silent Salt is immune to cooldown impairment. Instead of being hindered, he gains a shield, damage resist, and cooldown recovery buffs when exposed to these effects.

Charcoal Cookie: The Support Combo

Charcoal is an Epic Magic Cookie with the skill Tombkeepers. He summons tombstones and vile spirits that disrupt enemies. If paired with Silent Salt, his spirits apply stronger debuffs, and his lantern grants Silent Salt buffs, boosting his crit and damage.

1. Tombstone Summon – Calls forth tombstones to disrupt enemies.

2. Vile Spirits – Spirits swarm enemies, shackling them and reducing their effectiveness.

3. Lantern Mechanic – Each time spirits cause commotion or defeat an enemy, Charcoal’s lantern absorbs their power.

4. Cleansing Light – If the lantern is fully charged at the end of the skill, it releases a Cleansing Light that boosts allies and weakens foes.

Synergy with Silent Salt – If Charcoal and Silent Salt are on the same team:

• Vile Spirits gain extra effects.

• Enemies take increased damage.

• Cleansing Light grants Silent Salt additional buffs, enhancing Darkness-type damage and crit damage.

New Story Episode: Silence of Conviction

• Soul of Salt (starting from stage 11-16): Enemies become enraged near defeat.

Counters:

What’s Next

This update is only the beginning:

• Players should save resources for future updates, especially legendary costumes and new unit evolutions.
