Updated! I added Iris Cookie
By the way, since not all is about individual strengths in this game, please also check out my team guide here.
Which Are The Best Cookies in CookieRun Tower of Adventures?
Without further ado, let’s get right into the list of the cookies in CookieRun Tower of Adventures and how well they work right now:
Hot takeIs Kohlrabi Cookie really S?Drag our heroes where you think they belong and share your list. 30 seconds, no account.Fight us on itDark
Tier SIf you have a good dark team running, he is an easy, low-invest DPS that is absolutely worth it.
Tier SIncredibly strong actually and if you thought the devs would give out a weak cookie for the game anniversary you didn't see it coming. Easy to use, easy to combine and if you have the cookies to make a decent dark team, Sundae will make that team steamroll.
Tier A+Massive damage dealer and the ultimate really crushes enemies reliably.
Tier APrimarily designed for the new multiplayer modes, not really that great working in solo modes.
Tier ADark support cookie and she is a great addition if you build Kohlrabi Cookie and you can run her with him along Rockstar. Meta enabling upon release if you do have the cookies required for it. Her kit actually is pretty nice alright the stats are quite weird but the way she loads up even when not active to drop her stuff, do some damage and then switch in your main carry is actually pretty fun and works well.
Tier BThe poison damage is actually quite helpful in many situations - not a very endgame cookie but absolutely one that you will use in the earlies stages happily.
Tier C+Works overall but the ultimate is simply a stat increase (which works) that is not that crazy fun to play.
Earth
Tier SBlanaced cookie that can sustain himself with healing and very versatile when it comes to attacking. Also quite easy to execute.
Tier A+Nice shielding and works with all earth cookies. Solid invest, great utility overall.
Tier AAs a tagger has nice mechanics and damage, like pretty much all earth cookies but so far they are missing that big-bang carry cookie in the earth element that makes them kick off big time. Please note that this ranking here for Cand Drop heavily is on how earth element as meta works and I see a lot potential here once a strong carry cookie for earth is available so pulling if you like it is very unlikely a huge mistake.
Tier B+Pretty sweet area damage but can't keep up with the top cookies in the game.
Tier B+She herself is no fun but have her on your team and swap her in to place her turret and then switch back to another cookie in situations when there is a lot of mobs really is helpful. Not crazy strong but also not a bad cookie overall in CookieRun Tower of Adventures.
Tier DFor multiplayer shielding useful but for most players focusing on story and other modes more like a wasted slot in your lineup.
Tier DJust not good and literally every cookie you unlock after 3 minutes of playing Cookie Run Tower of Adventures is better. Do not invest anything into him unless the tutorial forces you to.
Fire
Tier SThe new gen fire fighter we needed as fire was falling off more and more with the main carry being all cookies from the start. She is really great and fun to play and if you consider building her you will be able to make a strong fire combo team for sure.
Tier SAmazing as support cookie as she is so universal and her buffs are really strong so she goes with every DPS cookie right now.
Tier AOn white paper absolutely go for her. She deals incredible fire DPS but here is the thing that you should be aware of. You need a team to make her shine and if you do have that, chances are high that you have Chili Pepper Cookie well-built and in this case the question is fo you really want to invest that much for a little uplift of your fire team? If you're about to build a fire team, though, she is literally fire.
Tier AThe dash is super helpful and she also deals quite some damage overall.
Tier B+Great tank cookie overall.
Tier BActually really fun and can do damage while not active and if you run or build a fire team you want her actually as for a rare cookie she is pretty nice. Don't epect the meta to change here because of her but she is pretty nice in many situations if combined with other fire cookies to deal damage herself but also buff fire damage output.
Tier CNice early but you will unlock better thrower cookies like Alchemist quite soon so don't mind her too long.
Light
Tier SAlong with the new light cookies she is the top-of-the-line light DPS and a lot stronger than Lemon Zest who did run the show for quite a while.
Tier SLooking quite strong so far but we're still testing. With the overall kit I don't think you will pull this cookie and regret it later as it seems really viable for the future of light, espcially if you will pull the upcoming Buttermilk Cookie as well.
Tier A+Still one of the best rounded cookies overall and works in pretty much all game modes without having to invest too much into him and he will actually run the show in light teams up until the release of Buttermilk Cookie.
Tier AGreat area damage dealing cookie but the ranking here depends on your running it along Lemon Zest Cookie, not individually as your primary carry!.
Tier ABoah what a hard ranking... so he is very interesting, let's get that out of the way and his buffs really work and are needed... but now when it comes to being the player who plays support in raid mode and you're into taking that role he can be probably one of your best choice. But for most players that is not really something they want. In other modes he does replace basicallly Angel Cookie who never was good so he is good in terms what he provides for the team and not by himself, espcially with the attack speed buff it gets wild.
Tier AGreat damage potential but needs support for that and also quite some investment to build it well enough to work for that.
Tier C+The truth is, it's an okay support cookie but the fact that every player gets Chamomile Cookie when starting out makes him quite obsolete to level and play.
Tier DCould see her a bit higher ranked but Pistachio Cookie is better and you get an incredible support cookie with Chamomile Cookie for free after playing like 10 minutes, so there is no point in building or even using Angel Cookie. Doesn't mean she is bad, just doesn't really have a use at any point of playing.
Water
Tier NEWInteresting for sure and can be used right away but will shine a lot more along the later released Dew Cookie.
Tier SEarly build and a long-time invest that pays off as she is great in all game modes and will carry you for a long time.
Tier SAfter such a long time a water tagger and one that is fun and will put water meta a lot bolder on the map.
Tier AGreat healing cookie.
Tier AHas great potential but requires the skill rotation to be on point to play out his full potential and there are easier cookies to get that same result for sure.
Tier B+Alright area damage but only really working in early game in Cookie Run Tower of Adventures unless you use him as support for Cream Soda Cookie when he applies his RES debuff so she can hit even harder.
Wind
Tier SIncredible damage deaer and absolutely high crits all the time paired with AoE damage and if ou can build a solid wind team with him you be running wild!.
Tier SOutstanding ATKbuffer and solid damage herself and meta for any wind team.
Tier ANerfed from beta but still a ton of area damage makes it stand out in CookieRun Tower of Adventures.
Tier AFree for every player that starts out (I think if you pre-registered) - she is incredible as support cookie in your team when you can swap her in, use her ultimate and healing and then switch back and your team is right back on track. Superhelpful in so many situations.
Tier B+Doesn't shine like other epic cookies but is for sure a solid one, escially better than the rare ones.
Tier DJust doesn't do much and is outclassed by pretty much all other cookies.
Conclusion
I hope this list above will shed some light into the jungle of cookies and which ones to pull and build that are worth running in the long run – if you have questions or anything else regarding the cookies in CookieRun Tower of Adventures, please let me know in the comments below.

can you please update for strawberry mochi
Sure I did like 1 hour after you posted you comment 🙂
Are making a Cherry Cola guide too? I’m new in the game and don’t know if her status are enough
I’d love to see a few builds with the new Basil Pesto Cookie and Jalapeño Cookie, I use these two alot and especially basil pesto as he does alot of consistent damage.
In high level play for all elements you see a common set of cookies:
Kohlrabi
Rockstar
Candy Drop
Blackberry
Yet none of them are in S tier.
Kohlrabi is essential to make taggers (E.g. Candy Drop) work and Rockstar and Blackberry maximize Kohlrabi’s attack.
Dark Choco is very strong in isolation but cannot trigger elemental tags fast. Lemon Zest, Cream Soda and any other cookie are only better than what I mentioned if there are restrictions (e.g. no dark bonus).
The only niche but required cookies for for Sugar Rush are Chamomile and Crushed Pepper because they keep Candy Drop and Kohlrabi alive.
At the very least Candy Drop and Kohlrabi should be S.
