Strategies, tips, and tricks

Beginner  Intermediate Advanced
 * Send an invite to 20 friends to obtain the Zombie Cookie, 50 for one hundred crystals.
 * Add other Cookie Run players on Line to send and receive gift points and hearts. Line IDs can be found in Line forums on in game review blogs.
 * Keep an eye out for events which give out free items
 * Crystals are easily obtained by daily playing, or by leveling up.
 * Crystals should be spent on pets, preferably A grade and above, with the exception of the B grade Cozy Yarn.
 * Practice makes perfect. The more you run in a new area, the more familiar you will be with the jump or slide timings. Some gaps require delayed double jumps, some obstacles require fast double jumps.
 * Focus on upgrading powers to the maximum level 20, especially energy boost and jelly points.
 * A high level Zombie Cookie can help with obstacles in higher stages. Upon each revival you get a few seconds of invulnerability.
 * Instead of immediately accepting gift points, wait until you can 'accept and send' to keep the gifts bouncing back and forth.
 * Fast Start Boost does not use up any energy while in effect, allowing for a slightly longer run.
 * However don't use fast start if you have Cozy Yarn or Gold Drop. You will miss out on two or more pet ability activitations.
 * Lucky Draw can be a faster source of coins provided that there are enough Line friends gifting points back and forth.
 * Smashing into obstacles with power jelly effects generates additional points.
 * Cozy Yarn pet generates Bonus Time Jellies every 38 seconds at max level. As a B grade pet, it is cheap to unlock and upgrade, and very possible to obtain by Lucky Draw.
 * The maximum coin bonus is 57%: 25% from Buttercream Choco Cookie Lv8, 10% from 10 million champion belt, 12% from the Treasure Merchant's Safe box, and 10% from Gold Drop's Pure Gold Bar.
 * Try to avoid maxing C grade pets or cookies. The treasure cabinet can only fit 20 treasures, requiring 100 crystals to increase inventory space. As of now treasures cannot be deleted. The same logic applies to avoiding the Good Treasure Chest for 5000 coins.
 * For coin farming, If you have the lives to spare, equip Buttercream Cookie, Gold Drop pet, 10 million champion belt, Treasure Merchant's Safe box and Gold Drop's Pure Gold Bar. Start a run and quit as soon as you get the giant coin after a few seconds.
 * Special Force Cookie costs 139,000 coins to purchase but will assist even if you are using another cookie by converting obstacles into silver coins.
 * The magnetic effect of Angel Cookie and Angel Cookie's Holy Feather stacks. With a lv.8 cookie and +9 feather, the effect is like a lv.10 Angel. All coins and jellies on the screen will be attracted.
 * When weekly ranking resets, have a low point score to overtake all the others on line for 2 points each, allowing a wide margin to overtake their ranking again later for more points.
 * The Angel Cookie's Holy Feather treasure is obtained by having a level 8 Angel Cookie. It provides a weaker magnetic effect which is still useful.
 * Rather than unlocking the second treasure slot by buying 15 cookie characters, it is possible to obtain new characters including Grade A cookies from the Lucky Draw.
 * Pirate Cookie's ghost ability helps at higher stages where focus should be on survival rather than obtaining points.
 * Random boost can be reshuffled at half price until a useful one is in effect.
 * Hero Cookie combos well with Jellyco. Jellyco's treasure at level 8 provides additional points.
