Breakout Mode

"Cookies, assemble! Let's explore the world!"

Breakout Mode is a game mode featured in Cookie Run: OvenBreak. In this mode, multiple Cookies are used in a relay run to reach a weekly high score. Stages in Breakout Mode flow directly from one stage to the next, and after a Cookie runs out of Energy, the next Cookie starts where they left off. Different Breakout Episodes are playable, with unique stages and mechanics in each.

Rules
All Cookies, Pets, and Treasures can only be used once per Breakout run. All Cookies must be matched to a Pet to run. If the number of Cookies & Pets needed is greater than the amount owned, the player can only run with as many as they have. The last runner gets double the points.

After each Cookie finishes running, you have the option to either continue to the next relay, or return to the main screen. In the event the player makes a mistake or wants to change their combi, a run can be retried freely. You can also retry previous runs using 3 Breakout Replay Tickets or Crystals (If missing Breakout Replay Tickets), and the price will increase the further the Run is from your current run. You can give a Tickets (5 per week) and get Tickets from friends and Guildmates. The entire Breakout can be restarted at any time for free, and finishing a Breakout run with using all 10 runners will give you 30 Crystals (Only once per weekly Breakout Run).

Light Spheres can be collected in Breakout Mode, and exchanged for rewards at the Breakout Shop, including Legendary Cookies, Legendary Pets, and S-Grade Magic Ingredients.

After one week, all participants will receive a Breakout Reward, and high scores will reset. Light Spheres will respawn as well. All Breakout Reward has Crystals. A score of at least Diamond V rank additionally gives a Legendary Cookie or Pet, with each episode having its own Legendary selection. For episodes with multiple associated Legendary units, only one can be selected when the reward is received. The Breakout Rewards from different Episodes do not happen on the same day.

Starting with Season 8, a special rule was added to the Special Episode, which changes with each rotation. This rule grants certain runners a modest buff, and makes it so the last cookie run with is a fixed Cookie & Pet Combi. In-game, all special episode rotations since the start of Season 8 have been captioned with the name of the fixed Cookie before the name of the episode; for instance, the first Special Episode of Season 8 was known as "Kiwi Cookie's Escape from the Oven".

Practice Mode
Starting from Season 5, a Practice Mode was introduced, similar to the Practice Mode of Trophy Race. As long as a Stage has been previously reached, it can be practiced from the Map Info screen. The player can choose any Cookie, Pet, and Treasures to run with, and run from either the beginning of the stage or from a checkpoint. Checkpoints can be placed after ending either a standard run or practice run. As a practice, the score does not count towards the Breakout Reward, but Coins, Jelly Missions, and Light Spheres are kept as normal.

Ranks
Breakout Episodes have ranks, which determine the amount of Crystals you will get. From Chocolate V until Rainbow V, you will need to reach a score to advance to that rank. From Rainbow IV to Legend I, ranks are based on what top % score you are. Higher ranks will grant more Crystals and from Diamond V and above, you can also get 1 Legendary Cookie or Pet of your choosing from the available ones. If you had reached Legend III or higher (at least 30th place), you will also get a Title. In Main Episode, you can get a Sticker based on your rank.

Perfect Star Jelly
At the conclusion of each stage in Breakout Episodes, three Perfect Star Jellies will appear. These jellies include unique jellies that award 10,000,000 points each. You must avoid colliding with objects on the stage, avoid falling into any holes, and collect all 10 jellies necessary to open each present in order to do so.

Easy Mode
On Easy Mode, there are less stages, runners, and the maximum rank is Ruby I. The amount of Light Spheres will not get affected by Easy Mode, but their locations will change. Easy Mode is only available on Breakout Main Episode and Random Challenge.

List of Breakout Episodes
There are ten different Breakout Episodes, but only three are available to be played: one in the Main Episode, and Three in Special Episode. New episodes replace old ones when added, and old episodes are planned to be rotated back in on occasion.

Sands of Yogurca was added along with the Sands of Yogurca update with the reworks to Breakout Mode, and so it was the first Episode designed with Light Spheres.

Originally released as Breakout Episode 2 with the Season 3 update, this Episode features an adventure through the City of the Millennial Tree and its ancient temples and altars, including the throne room cursed by Pomegranate Cookie. The stages feature a large amount of vertical mobility, and many Cookies and Pets didn't function well with this feature and were not allowed as a result. This episode was replaced by Escape from the Oven when it returned and later replaced the same episode when it returned on February 8, 2021 during The Hidden Truth of the City update. It was replaced by Escape from the Oven in the Yogurt Dunes Escapade update.

It is currently only rotated in Random Challenge and is not rotated in Special Episode.

Originally released as Special Episode 1, this Episode was dedicated to Coin Farming, and scoring was based only on Coins collected. Cookies did not get tired from running in this episode, which was particularly useful for Cheesecake Cookie and  Mint Choco Cookie, though there is a daily limit for coins which is 600,000. This episode also previously contained Ancient Coin Pouches which could be used to purchase items from the Ocean Shop, the precursor to the Breakout Shop.

As the Special Episode 2 was removed, it won't return currently.

Scoring is based entirely on Coins collected, and four Cookies ( Adventurer Cookie, Blackberry Cookie,  Truffle Cookie, and  Onion Cookie) cause large chests full of Coins to appear while running. This episode also features Spider Mansion Coins, which are incorporeal until a Ghost Coin Party is activated, and secret rooms, accessible from locked doors. This episode was added during the update of the same name, and replaced the City of Wizards.

As the Special Episode 2 was removed, it won't return currently.

Breakout: Random Challenge
In Breakout: Random Challenge, you will compete with 29 other people to get rewards with random Combis. It costs 2,900 Crystals or a Breakout Random Challenge Ticket. You can play random challenge as many times as you want, but you can only get rewards twice a week (unless you pay for more slots).

You will run with 10 Random runners. With each runner, you can select 3 random Cookies and their Combi Pets, with 3 random Treasures. You can redraw your choices 3 times for each runner, with each redraw costing 30 Crystals, but you can watch an ad to get a free redraw (with Royal Club, you can redraw without watching an ad). All Cookies, Pets and Treasures will be maxed, with the Cookies Magic Candies being Level 5 (without Blessings) and the Treasures will be enhanced to Level 6. You will also get all the buffs from the Escape Level Rewards.

Buffs
Sometimes, a combi will be given with a buff attached, with four different rarities; Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. These buffs last for the duration of the run, and assist in increasing the player's score. Occasionally, a buff will come with an additional debuff, which is chosen from a smaller set of possibilities. These buffs had appeared outside Random Challenge in the Tough Cookie Club event.

The Sands of Yogurca season during The Living Deep Sea City update had overhauled almost all of the buffs present in the game mode, leading to significant changes. For example, the two buffs that created Blast and Giant Power Jellies from destroying obstacles were moved from Rare buffs to Epic buffs, and the Blast Power Jellies buff no longer could only be obtained once outside Blast mode, after being adjusted during the second half of the first Fragrant Lotus Paradise season to be only able to be obtained once due to an exploit that allows to run up to 16 minutes and 40 seconds constantly Blasting; the buff that increased the duration of Power Jellies was increased from 15% to 20%, and was moved from Common to Rare; the buffs that granted additional points for certain kinds of jellies were mildly nerfed; and a number of new buffs were added.

The following is a list of all recurring buffs as of The Sweet Signals from Space update, not including buffs exclusive to specific Breakout maps. Buffs written in blue text can only be obtained once. Note that in any given season, not every buff may be available.

There are no Legendary Debuffs. Notes

Random Events
Random Events can occur. They can give you simple buffs, buffs with a drawback (like challenge runs), or buffs that require completing a mission. Some of the Random Events require to choose between two to three options, that can get you a buff (or nothing) depending on the option chosen. The Random Events can occur randomly, but there are some set ones (like challenge runs or Random Events that tie to the Season), and some that require a specific Combi or position to get.

Each new season of Breakout: Random Challenge provides a new season-based event, depending in part on the Breakout Map used for each season. As of now, only Escape From the Oven and Lost City of Sugarteara have had multiple mandatory events for different seasons.

Random Challenge Easy Mode
In easy mode, you will only run with 5 runners instead of 10, and the rewards will be much smaller. It costs 490 Crystals to enter easy mode, and you can't enter once you use the reward slots.

Rank Rewards
Depending on the rank obtained in a Random Challenge run-through, different rewards will be given. Ranks 30-21 only give crystals; rank 20 and up rewards 45 Cookie Potions; rank 10 and up rewards 45 Pet Potions; and the top two ranks will reward a 10+1 Treasure Incantation. Rewards are given the moment a run is completed. Noraml Mode= Easy Mode=

Breakout Shop
The Breakout Shop was introduced to replace Mystery Boxes and the Ocean Shop. It uses Light Spheres as currency.

Most Legendary Cookies and Pets are sold here. Each of them has the same price of 1,000 Light Spheres, and after one is purchased, they cannot be bought for another week. The Millennial Tree Jelly Set and Pirate Cookie's Sea Overlord Costume were moved here and are sold under the Cosmetics tab. A variety of consumable items appear in the general Items section, including multiple tiers of Cookie Chests and Pet Eggs, Coins and Magic Powder, and tickets like Special Blessing Tickets. Only five consumable items are available at a time, with stock changing daily, and an item may be on sale for up to 50% off. Valuable items such as Special 10+1 Incantations have a purchase limit.

It was retired in the first half of the Trip to Paradise update, where it, alongside many other shops, were replaced with the Gem Exchange Center.

Light Spheres
Light Spheres are found in fixed positions in Breakout Episodes, and can be collected once per week, resetting when the Breakout Reward is received. The collectible Light Spheres come in two varieties, yellow ones worth 5 Light Spheres and blue ones worth 15. During a x2 Light Spheres event, these values do not change, but more Light Spheres will appear in spots they normally do not.

Likewise with the Breakout Shop, it was retired in the first half of the Trip to Paradise update, where they were replaced with Gold Gems instead.

Mini Cookie Jar
Mini Cookie Jars were found in Breakout Mode before the Season 4 rework. They contained a small number of Common Cookies or Pets (despite the name and appearance), as well as a single Rare Cookie or Pet.

Witch's Jar
Before the September 28, 2018 expansion of the City of the Millennial Tree, the Weekly Reward was known as the Witch's Jar. Instead of guaranteed Crystals and Legendary Cookies or Pets, the Witch's Jar would have random items inside, and better high scores would give better quality Jars. The high score could be set on either episode, and there were no relative scoring ranks.

Mystery Boxes
Before the Season 4 rework, items currently available in the Breakout Shop were available from two different sources, depending on the Episode. Episodes 1 and 2 had Mystery Boxes, and the Special Episode had Ancient Coin Pouches.

Mystery Boxes functioned similarly to the Mystery Boxes in Cookie Run (LINE). Five different types of Mystery Box were available, one for each of the four Chapters in Episode 1 and one for Episode 2. Mystery Boxes would fly like an Ingredient Pouch in Episode 1 or float in place in Episode 2, and they would be opened after a Cookie finishes running. Mystery Boxes could contain Crystals, Coins, or a Mystic Jewel, with Boxes of the same type giving the same type of Jewel. After enough Mystic Jewels of one type were collected, they could be exchanged for a random reward from a Reward List, in a fashion very similar to the Mystic Jewels in the Champions League.

Each type of Mystery Box and Mystery Jewel was aesthetically themed after the area it was found in, and the Cookies, Pets or Treasures on the Reward List matched the theme as well. Chapter 1 had a Witch theme, with a Supreme Cookie Chest and Supreme Pet Egg as rewards. Chapter 2 had a water theme, and Sea Fairy Cookie and Ice Pearl Coral were on the Reward List. Chapter 3 had a fire theme, and Fire Spirit Cookie and the Red Egg of Resurrection as rewards. Finally, Chapter 4 had a demonic theme, and Dark Enchantress Cookie and Candy Cane Staff of Darkness as rewards. Fewer Mystery Jewels were required for a reward here due to Chapter 4 being only three stages long and taking a long time to reach. The Mystic Jewels in City of the Millennial Tree could give Magmabird or  Emerald Golem, as well as  Millennial Tree Cookie after he was added, though Jewels were harder to get than in Episode 1.

Ancient Coin Pouches
Black Sugar Pirate Ship had Ancient Coins instead of Mystery Boxes, found in random amounts in Ancient Coin Pouches. These appeared in the same fixed positions, but whether they actually appeared was semi-randomly determined based on how many runs the player had already done, as the more runs the player had done in a day, the less Pouches appeared.

These Coins could be spent at the Ocean Shop for Ocean Dragon,  Pirate Cookie's Sea Overlord Costume, and various Cookies, Pets, and Magic Candy Ingredients.

Special Episode 2
Breakout Special Episode 2 was were Black Sugar Pirate Ship, The City of Wizards, and Spooky Spider Mansion Breakout Episodes were rotated. outside of The City of Wizards, Breakout Special Episode 2 Rewards are Coins. Special Episode 2 was removed with the Breakout rework.

Friendship Gifts
Friendship Energy and Friendship Coins can be exchanged with friends in Breakout Mode. Exchanging Friendship Energy will give one extra Energy to both friends' Cookies, or two extra Energy if the players are Facebook friends. The same goes with exchanging Friendship Coins, except you will get a 1% coin boost instead of energy. They can be exchanged with multiple friends to add up to 20 extra starting Energy or Coin boost, which will apply to all Cookies run in the Breakout Episode until the next Breakout Reward.
