Affection

Affection is a mechanic in Cookie Run: OvenBreak. Each cookie starts with 0 out of 1000 affection. It increases to represent the player becoming closer friends with a cookie, and can never decrease.

A cookie's affection is increased in a number of ways, including upgrading them and their pet, running with them, and putting them in the Lobby. Reaching over 800 affection with a cookie gives a score bonus to an action, similar to a Costume. Reaching the full 1000 affection doubles the effect of the affection bonus, and the cookie will give the player a unique Basic Jelly to celebrate being Best Friends.

Raising Affection
Being a member of the Royal Club triples affection gained from running and talking, and it allows gifting three times a day. It also gives 20 Royal Golden Dough per month, which increase a cookie's affection by 50 when gifted to them.
 * Upgrading a cookie or their combi pet will increase their affection by 20 for Epics, 15 for Rares, and 14 for Commons. Pets do not have separate affection.
 * Upgrading a cookie's Magic Candy will increase their affection by 30 for Epics and 20 for Rares.
 * Running with a cookie in any gamemode will increase their affection slightly. Longer runs will increase affection more than shorter ones.
 * Putting a cookie in the Lobby allows you to talk to them three times a day and give them a daily gift. Talking gives 2 affection per tap, while the effect of gifts vary. Each cookie has a liked item and disliked item. Gifting a liked item increases affection by 15, while a disliked item doesn't increase affection at all. All other items are neutral and give 5 affection. Some Costumes change a cookie's preferences.

Affection Rewards
In addition to the affection bonus and jelly skin unlockable from reaching 1000 with a single cookie, there are crystals received by getting large amounts of total affection. You can see your total affection, and receive unlocked rewards, from the Lobby.
