There is a new season in the arena and, as always, there are new meta teams to watch out for. The arrival of Freccia Caramel Biscuit changed the current metacom in the arena, and was really useful in the battle against the double tank e Comp. Tea Knight. Let’s take a look at the best teams in the arena for Dark Cacao Season 1 at the moment Cookie Run: Kingdom.
1. Speed Team (with caramel arrow)
The cookies for this team generally consist of:
- Dark cocoa biscuit or Madeleine cookie
- Freccia Caramel Biscuit
- Pomegranate biscuit
- Eclair cookie (The Frost Queen Cookie can be used as a substitute for Pomegranate or Eclair)
- Herbal biscuit (alternative: biscuit semifreddo)
Although it might be strange to see a speed comp without it Lilac, Pastry shopAnd Mint chocolate cookie, this team is one of the best meta teams right now as they deal a lot of damage in a short amount of time. Also, unlike Scam compositions, it doesn’t rely on a single burst attack (Gingerscam is known to be a team that makes or dies; after all cookies use their skill, they are generally helpless later on as they don’t have of healers) and also has great durability, since it has two healers, namely Herb Cookie and Pomegranate Cookie.
Caramelized arrow he’s an important part of this team, especially since his attack is great for decimating tanks (his ability specifically attacks the three cookies with the highest max HP, meaning he’ll target the tanks first). It is important that you use Enchanted Librarian Dress Up on her and make sure she has one of the two highest ATK speed stats for this team, as she has a long skill duration and the treasure’s additional ATK speed boost will help her reduce the duration of her ability and use the his skill more often.
Next, this team needs a second tank, since Caramel Arrow is fragile and usually jumps to the bottom of the team formation anyway, so it’s unreliable to have as a solo front. Dark cocoa biscuit it’s a good option as it’s one of the best cookies right now and most arena teams try to use it whenever possible. Apply more debuffs to the enemy team.
Alternatively, if you don’t have Dark Cacao, give it a try Madeleine cookie instead, since it is one of the best tanks for a speed comp team due to its particularly offensive ability. Make sure it has one of the two highest ATK speed substats and both Caramelized arrow And Madeleine cookie they are empowered by the Librarian’s Enchanted Robes. They use Dark Cacao, Madeleine and Caramel Arrow Whole almond toppingsbut you can add a Swift Chocolate topping or two to Madeleine Cookie for a 3 second arena start.
Pomegranate biscuit has been upgraded recently and now provides a 30% ATK boost instead of a 20% ATK boost, as well as having some of its base stats increased. Using it is basically like having an extra Old Pilgrim’s Scroll treasure on your team! Another thing to consider is that a higher ATK would mean that your healers (Pomegranate and Grass) would heal more than usual, so your team would be difficult to defeat due to your team’s constant healing.
Herbal biscuit it was popular in the current Arena recently met. His ability applies debuff cleansing, as well as great healing. (It is much better in Arena than in PVE since its ability works better when your cookies stay in one place; in PVE your cookies would move a lot as they are trying to defeat waves of enemies.) More and more cookies have been used by applying debuffs. , for example, Dark Cacao and Caramel Arrow, thus using it as an excellent defensive counter.
It cleans itself Dark cocoaATK and DEF of ‘s decrease the debuff, Frost Queen damage from freezing debuff (his “Freeze Damage” is the part of his special ability that provides the most damage. If you counter it, you won’t get frozen and you won’t get any damage from the ability.) and Caramel Arrow’s ability which reduces a percentage HP of your cookie. Removing Caramel Arrow’s debuff renders her harmless as the other part of her ability doesn’t do much damage.
If you do not have Herbal biscuita good alternative is Semifreddo biscuit (provides 40% resistance to debuffs) or Cotton Cookie (although it does nothing against debuffs, it is still a good healer). Treasures for this comparison Enchanted Librarian Dress Up, Parchment of the old pilgrimAnd Gloomy-looking scythe. This provides a very offensive build, but you can use Shining Feather or Swan’s Insignia if your team has no stamina.
2. Double team of healers (cotton and herbs)
The cookies for this team generally consist of:
- Dark cocoa biscuit
- Eclair Biscuit, Sea Fairy Biscuit, Queen of Frost Biscuit (Choose Two from these options. Note that Eclair Cookie and Frost Queen Cookie can be countered by Herb Cookie, and the Sea Fairy cookie stun doesn’t work on a team using Cocoa, so the best scenario is to build these three cookies and change them depending on which team you’re fighting.)
- Cotton biscuit
- Herbal biscuit (alternative: Semifreddo biscuit)
This team is a bit weaker than the first team but is still one of the best teams to use in the arena as it is more of an overall team that can counter more other teams. It is also much more accessible to gamers as most gamers don’t have it Pomegranate biscuit properly built.
They weren’t popular in previous Arena seasons and people have opted for Cotton, semifreddo, or Cream puff instead; Additionally, Pomegranate uses support skill powders to level up and players are constantly running out of this resource due to the number of helpful support cookies available.) Recommended toppings for cookies on this team are:
Dark cocoa biscuit: All Quick chocolate if you can get 27.1% total DC (with the effect bonus set) so you can get a 3 second start; if not, you can use Whole almonds for a stronger tank, or Scalding Raspberry so it can deal more damage (it has an AOE attack and can even rival the damage of Sea Fairy or Frost Queen)
EtcLAir biscuit: Use only Quick chocolate if you can get 27.1% CD (it has the same cooldown as Dark Cacao), otherwise Whole Almonds and Searing Raspberry are your best options.
For a 4 second start, you’ll want to get 6.3% CD from stats alone, which means you won’t be using a single Swift Chocolate topping. If you are using Searing Raspberry, try to get at least some 20% resistance to DMG in the substats since Eclair is a very fragile cookie, and having it on a full Raspberry build (which boosts ATK) could make it the target of an enemy Eclair Cookie (Eclair targets the three cookies with the highest ATK stat).
This makes it easy to defeat and you want it to stay alive for as long as possible as it is most useful when its Weakness Debuff can stack multiple times. If you want it to have high ATK but can’t get good secondary stats, you can opt for a 3 Burning Raspberries and 2 Whole Almonds mixed seasoning set instead.
Sea fairy cookie: She is one of the best AOE dealers in the game, so it makes sense to try to give her everything Scalding Raspberry seasonings. However, depending on your team setup, you may want to use one or two extra Swift Chocolate toppings 11.8% CD, as this gives her a 4 second start. Note that if your Eclair Cookie also has a 4 second boot, you should still use the entire Searing Raspberry on Sea Fairy as the game will always prioritize Eclair’s ability to start first instead of Sea Fairy’s.
Frost queen cookie: Similar to Sea Fairy, it has a high ATK, so it’s best to give it your fill Scalding Raspberry setting up. If you want to use a 4 second start on Frost Queen then you need a minimum of 16.7% CD. If this is difficult to achieve on a mixed topping (for example, 3 Swift Chocolate and 2 Searing Raspberry), then you can opt for a Quick chocolate set instead, and in this way freezes the enemy team more frequently, giving them a more support-oriented role in your team.
Cotton biscuit: Cotton Cookie usually uses full Swift Chocolate with high DMG Resist secondary stats, and if that’s not possible with your current toppings, you can use a mixed set with whole almonds. It’s easy for Arena to build since it doesn’t really have a CD requirement. Try to give her at least 15% DMG Resistance and you’re good to go.
Herb biscuit or semifreddo biscuit = Similar to cotton, they also use Quick chocolate toppings so they can heal your team more often, as well as help you clean up debuffs.
If you have created the cookies for this team correctly, you can use them and defeat most of the teams in your Arena roster. You can get to Master 5 with this team. Plus, this is a flexible squad and you can even use it for Story Mode, unlike the Speed Comp which only shines in the Arena. The treasures of this comp are: Old Pilgrim Scroll, Squishy Jelly ClockAnd Shining feather of the swan.
