Choosing the right Cookies is one of the most important parts of progressing in Cookie Run: Crumble. While nearly every character can contribute during the early stages, higher-tier Cookies offer significantly stronger damage, better survivability, or valuable support abilities that remain useful throughout the game.
Whether you’re rerolling your first account or looking to build the strongest possible team, this tier list ranks every currently available Cookie from SS Tier to B Tier based on their overall performance, versatility, and long-term value.

Which Cookies Should You Reroll For?
If you’re starting a fresh account, rerolling can provide a significant advantage. Your goal should be obtaining at least one SS Tier Cookie before committing to an account.
The best reroll targets include:
- Wind Archer Cookie
- Cream Soda Cookie
- Milky Way Cookie
- Vampire Cookie
- Espresso Cookie
- Dark Choco Cookie
- Pomegranate Cookie
Starting with any of these Cookies makes campaign progression considerably easier.
How to Unlock More Cookies
You’ll gain access to the gacha system after progressing through the early tutorial.
Specifically, you’ll need to complete Stage 1-5, which unlocks the recruitment menu.
Once available, you can summon using:
- Single Pull
- 10 Pulls
- 30 Pulls
Summons require either:
- Cookie Cutters
- Gems
Each summon has a chance of rewarding a brand-new Cookie or a duplicate of one you already own.
What Do Duplicate Cookies Do?
Pulling duplicate Cookies isn’t a bad thing.
Instead of being wasted, duplicate copies can be used to strengthen the original Cookie by increasing its overall power. This allows your strongest characters to continue scaling as you collect additional copies over time.
For that reason, even repeat summons provide meaningful progression.
Special Cookie Banners
As your account progresses, you’ll unlock upgraded versions of the Cookie Gacha.
These special banners allow you to focus on featured Cookies, increasing your chances of recruiting specific characters instead of relying entirely on random luck.
Featured banners may include powerful SSR Cookies such as:
- Oven Wanderer Cookie
- Milky Way Cookie
Targeting featured banners is generally the most efficient way to build your preferred team.
Tips for Building Your Team
Simply collecting powerful Cookies isn’t enough—you’ll also want a balanced squad capable of handling different types of battles.
A strong team should include:
- One durable frontline Cookie
- Two or three primary damage dealers
- At least one support or healer
- A balanced mix of melee and ranged attackers
Investing heavily in a small group of powerful Cookies is usually more effective than spreading resources across your entire collection.
Building the best team in Cookie Run: Crumble starts with choosing the right Cookies. SS Tier characters like Wind Archer Cookie, Cream Soda Cookie, Milky Way Cookie, Espresso Cookie, and Vampire Cookie offer the strongest long-term value and are ideal reroll targets for new players. Meanwhile, S Tier and A Tier Cookies remain excellent choices for progressing through the campaign if you don’t immediately pull the game’s top units. As you unlock more banners and continue upgrading your roster, focusing your resources on a few high-performing Cookies will help you clear content more efficiently and prepare for future updates.
