Main Story

"Clear stages & read stories!"

Main Story is a mode in Cookie Run: OvenBreak introduced in the Yogurt Dunes Escapade update, with the GingerBrave's Tale reboot.

In Main Story, you will run with a Cookie and a Pet of your choice. You can also run with an Invocation Card add a maximum of 3 Treasures. The Cookie, Pet, and the Treasures level will sometimes be capped at a certain level, and in some stages, a relay Cookie will be available. You will run through usually 15 stages, and you will need to reach the end with at least 1 Star to advance to the next stage.

Difficulty settings
You can play the Main Story chapters in 4 difficulties: Calm, Normal, Hard, and Master. Normal difficulty has the normal amount of speed of 100%, without other changes. Calm difficulty has a reduced speed of 80%, 3 rescues from holes, and 1 shield. Hard difficulty has an increased amount of speed of 115% and increased collision damage. Master difficulty has an even bigger increase of speed of 130%, and the run will end on collision or falling through holes. Higher difficulty will also grant better Coin-filled Magic Chests.

Stars
Each stage will have 3 Stars available. The Stars will require a specific score to get, and with each Star gained in a stage, you can get a reward as well. Each stage will also have a Combi Mission that requires using a Cookie, a Pet, and a Treasure and getting 3 Stars with them. Completing a Combi Mission will give 50 Crystals. For new Main Story chapters, you can also get an additional rewards with the Star Rewards and Combi Mission Rewards.

Getting all 3 Stars in a stage will make Coin-filled Magic Chests available.

Coin-filled Magic Chests
After getting all 3 Stars in a stage, you can get Coin-filled Magic Chests. Coin-filled Magic Chests contains lots of Coins, and Ingredients that will differ from chapter to chapter. To gain Coin-filled Magic Chests, you will have to get a certain score, and higher score will upgrade the chest rank. Higher chest rank will grant more Coins from the guaranteed and random and more better Ingredients from them. Coin-filled Magic Chests will also have more Coins and better rewards the higher the difficulty is. The number of Coin-filled Magic Chests available every day will be relative to the initial number of uncleared stages, but after clearing all the stages, the limit will be 5.

Story Tickets
Running in Main Story requires Story Tickets, with usually need to use 3 Story Tickets to run. In the GingerBrave's Tale Chapters, only chapter 1 and 2 require 3 Story Tickets. Chapter 3 requires 4 Story Tickets to run, and chapter 4-7 require 5. From chapter 2, each final stage of GingerBrave's Tale require 1 more Story Ticket than the other stages in that chapter. Story Tickets will refill by 1 every 30 minutes, to a cap of 30.

Quick-Run Tickets
Quick-Run Tickets are used to run in automatically in a stage you already beaten to gain Coins and Coin-filled Magic Chests. You will also need to use the same number of Story Tickets as the number of the stage requires to run.

Deprecated Mechanics
Before the Main Story rework on The Miracle of Winter Gifts update, each chapter had a Star Counter, that will give Crystals on each third of Stars collected in that chapter. The rewards are 500,  1,000, and  1,500.

Other removed mechanics from Main Story are how each stage has it's own set of Ingredients available, how the difficulty could be changed only when you completed all the stages in the chapter, with each difficulty has it's own Star Counter (which works the same in all difficulties) and Calm difficulty didn't exist before the Main Story rework.
