Herb Cookie

Herb Cookie is an upcoming cookie that was released at the end of February in Kakao Cookie Run. Herb Cookie was then teased in the Cookie Run Facebook Page very early on as part of St. Patrick's Day, where all green-colored cookies are featured.

Due to a recent bug that happened on Friday, April 22, 2016, Herb Cookie and Herb Teapot is visible to be selected by players, but is not able to purchase the cookie and the pet. There are few speculations regarding this error. The first theory says that April 22 is in coincidence with Earth Day, and Herb Cookie is released earlier to match the theme, but a bug inside the game causes Herb Cookie cannot be purchased. There are others debating that the cookie was not supposed to be released to the public as there is no newsletter regarding the release. By using the release history of Kakao Cookie Run, the Cookie supposed to be released in May 2016.

Skill
Rain Jelly and Sun Jelly will appear at a given interval. Collect Rain Jelly to fill the Raindrop Gauge. When Raindrop Gauge is full, no more raindrops can be saved. Collect Sun Jelly to bring out the Sun. The Sun uses the collected raindrops to turn regular Jelly into Sprout Jelly. (More frequent Rain Jelly and Sun Jelly with upgrades.)

Description
''Warm like the sunshine and fresh like the scent of rain, Herb Cookie will ease your mind when you're feeling down. Herb Cookie was made of fresh, nutritious organic ingredients, which may not be to everyone's taste. On rainy days, Herb Cookie keeps himself dry with a leaf umbrella while listening to the sound of falling raindrops. On warm days, Herb Cookie enjoys the sunshine while carrying around his favourite potted plant. This Cookie treats all living things and each and every moment as precious. He believes the little things in life that make you laugh or cry are to be cherished, just like a ray of sunshine after the rain.''

Strategy
''Warning: The following strategy is taken from several videos of Herb Cookie on the Kakao version from observation. Take it as you will.''

The strategy is very simple - he is obviously going to need some Magnetic Aura to work effectively so he can collect the Sprout Jellies. A popular and trustworthy choice is the Magnetic Energy Recovery Drink - you'll want two of them. The last slot can be used for a Supremely Yummy Monster Muffin to ensure him runs longer.

The Herb Teapot is an excellent pet for him as he generates jellies for Herb Cookie to collect and it will also be converted into Herb Jellies during sunlight on top of giving more points for Herb Jellies. It does, however, have another combi with the Pistachio Firefly that increases points from Sprout Jellies as well - in that case, Rich Black Coffee and Coma Inducing Choco Croissant will be perfect. It depends on your gameplay style!

Be sure to collect the Raindrop and Sunlight Jellies you find on your way even if the raindrop meter is only halfway full - you need to keep the meter moving. If the meter is full or empty, he will not generate points for you as he is just sitting there uselessly.

Trivia

 * Herb Cookie was released in Kakao on a day that only happens every 4 years - February 29th. The next leap year will be in 2020.
 * On 22nd April 2016, Herb Cookie was mistakenly released along with Herb Teapot in a bug, hence enabling the players to see the description of the cookie, but players are unable to purchase the cookie. There has been speculation that Herb Cookie was released as a teaser for Earth Day, which falls on 22nd April every year.
 * Also, due to the bug, players are able to see the ability of Herb Cookie beforehand. The ability is called "Cultivation", presumably in reference to Herb Cookie being a cookie related to gardening, hence Herb Cookie will "cultivate plants".
 * The error has happened again on April 24, 2016. Herb Cookie along with Herb Teapot has made another appearance in LINE Cookie Run, but players cannot purchase the Cookie as he would disconnect you if you try to purchase him.
 * Strangely enough, Herb Cookie's treasure is not listed in the Treasure Book but his pet, Herb Teapot, has its treasure listed.
 * When he slides, he makes a cuckoo sound.
