User blog:Akrie/Cookie Run's Popularity Contest: City of Wizards Edition!

There's hundreds of players playing Cookie Run everyday, and you may be wondering: which combis are the most popular?

There are two popular categories: Coins and Points. People strive to either try to collect the most coins each run (which is not recorded) or points (which is recorded), so they tend to use combis that they know that will generate them the most coins and points per run.

There is also another category: XP. It is not frequently used because 1), you're going to get XP no matter what combi you use, and 2) it becomes useless after you've hit the maximum level. The main objective of the XP combis is to maximize the XP you get in each run to help you level up faster to unlock more Cookies.

Remember, people will usually make the combis slightly differently, and not every one of them is the same.

Coins Combis
We'll start with Coins. It's going to be a very small category, as people tend to just use a couple of Cookies and a few treasures to try to attain the most coins earned per run to buy and upgrade many things in the game. For the Coins combi, you will want to make sure you have the Double Coins Random Boost. Always.

Mint Choco Cookie + Mr. Fa-Sol-Sa-Si
With the introduction of Mint Choco Cookie, another Coin generating Cookie, there are now a couple of combis you can use to make a lot of Coins.

This combi gives you a lot of Coin bonus at the end, and pumps out a lot of Coins during gameplay through Mint Choco Cookie's Violin Performance, Mr. Fa-Sol-Sa-Si's ability, and the Golden Magic Flower Pots. With everything in play, you will get a whooping 55% Coin Bonus at the end.

Mint Choco Cookie + Paprika Punching Bag
With the new Prosperity Bracelet of Earth, this combi is very competitive when it comes to collecting Coins. The Paprika Punching Bag will help you gather a lot of Coins with the Bracelet due to how it works and Mint Choco Cookie has a combi with the punching bag for a 15% Coin Bonus so they work together very nicely. If you have another bracelet, the better! It will help you collect even more Coins because they do stack!

Mint Choco Cookie + White Gold Drop
The brand new White Gold Drop is another excellent pet for Mint Choco Cookie, as it will give you 70 Coins every 5 seconds when fully upgraded! It will give you more Coins over time compared to Mr. Fa-Sol-La-Si, Paprika Punching Bag and even Gold Drop. Fluffy Cheese Cat is pretty close, however, as it will give you about 60 to 80 Coins every 5 seconds late in the run.

Lemon Cookie + Coin Scale
Even Lemon Cookie can be a great Cookie for gathering Coins. He already has a pretty strong Magnetic Aura due to his Electro Shield ability, so you can load him down with treasures that increases the Coin Bonus you get at the end without having to worry about using treasures that grants Magentic Aura. The best treasure for this combi is the Golden Magic Flower Pots as they give more Coins during gameplay grants a nice fat Coin Bonus at the end of the run, especially if they are blessed.

Adventurer Cookie + Pistachio Firefly
Due to the Head for the Gold Coin Ruins! event that was just released in September, Adventurer Cookie is actually the best coin farmer in the game. Whenever he enters the hidden ruins with his ability, it will be packed full of coins instead of the usual jellies. Because of this, Adventurer Cookie will be able to rack up a lot of coins, even moreso than Mint Choco Cookie which is usually used as a coin farmer.

To maximize this combi, it is a good idea to try to get to the hidden ruins as quickly as you can and run as far as you can within the ruins in the time limit. This is why people tend to pair him up with Pistachio Firefly, as it will help Adventurer Cookie quickly get to his next entry point and give him Energy as well. Giving him treasures that increases Base Run Speed and provides a Coin Bonus will be perfect, such as Golden Syrup Filled Piece of Cake or Slippery Golden Banana Peel.

It is a very good idea to take advantage of this event as much as you can, as it will only last for one month - but even then, that is a very generous amount of time! After September 30, the event will be removed and Adventurer Cookie's ability will be reverted.

XP Combis
The main objective of the XP combis are to generate as much XP as you can in a single run. The basic way how the game works is that the longer you run, the more XP you get at the end. So it's ideal to use Cookies, pets and treasures that gives XP bonus, Revives and Slower Energy Drain. You'll want to use the 25% Slower Energy Drain Random Boost AND the Double XP Boost for best results.

Bright Cookie + Wishing Star
Bright Cookie with Wishing Star wins this, hands down. Together they give a massive 42% XP bonus due to Bright Cookie's 12% and her combi with the Wishing Star which adds 30%. The Chocolate Hardcover Workbook grants a good amount of XP bonus and Slower Energy Drain. Extraordinary Limited Edition Cookie Comics is a good alternative, as it also gives the same bonuses but with slight more emphasis on XP bonus over Slower Energy Drain. Pirate Cookie is a good relay because he essentially has 240 Energy which allows you to run longer.

Points Combis
The following combis are intended for scoring purposes. The higher your score is compared to your friends, the more Crystals, Coins and Gift Points you will get at the end of each Rankings week. People tend to use the 25% Slower Energy Drain Random Boost to ensure that they run for as long as possible because it overall gets you more points than if you did not.

The list is rather short at the moment as the City of Wizards was recently released which features Cookies, pets and treasures that are much better for scoring purposes but the list will slowly expand as time goes on.

Vampire Cookie + Flame Bat
The main goal of this combi is to pass as many obstacles as possible for points. This is still very effective even after the City of Wizards update, as it gives Vampire Cookie a brand new combi with Flame Bat that makes him very competitive.

Vampire Cookie generates the most points by passing obstacles, and the Flame Bat increases the said points while at the same time giving Vampire Cookie a little bit of Energy every 8 seconds. The Pirate Cookie, in Ghost form, will always be able to pass obstacles, racking up a ton of points. The Specialty Made Flaming Cocktails are there for two reasons: to slow down Energy drain and to allow your Cookies to revive up to 3 times.

Cherry Blossom Cookie + Tea Cup
Cherry Blossom Cookie's Blossom Power is very solid, as it does allow her to fly and generate Cherry Blossom Petals for a lot of points and will attract all Jellies on the screen. The Tea Cup pet will give her Energy and a Bonus Time letter you don't have which is helpful as it will help her get into Bonus Time for even more points as she can make Cherry Blossoms up there as well.

Cream Puff Cookie + Mini Jackson No. 2
Cream Puff Cookie's Magic Apprentice ability has a nice hidden bonus: whenever she is using her big spell, all jellies in the game are increased by 4,000 points - including Mini Jackson No. 2's Coloring Laser gumballs! It is slightly luck reliant, as you want her to cast her big spell during Mini Jackson No. 2's Coloring Laser, but it will happen quite often with how quickly Cream Puff Cookie casts her spells. Cream Puff Cookie also does gain a mini Magnetic Aura when she casts her big spell, so there's no need to use treasures that grants Magnetic Aura.

Orange Cookie + Mini Orange Mouse
Orange Cookie is an excellent points generator due to her Power Tennis ability - and she has a very nice combi bonus with her pet, Mini Orange Mouse, which also grants Slower Energy Drain by 20%. With 25% Slower Energy Drain Random Boost in place, there is no real reason to use treasures that grants Slower Energy Drain which frees up your choice in treasures. However, due to how her ability works, you're going to need to use a pretty strong Magnetic Aura - people tend to triple up on magnetic drinks. Very Wet Drink and Magnetic Energy Recovery Drink are popular choices.

Lime Cookie + Mr. Limeguard
Lime Cookie's combi with Mr. Limeguard increases points with all jellies by 2,700. Because of this, it is ideal to have a relay Cookie that can generate a lot of jellies to take advantage of this - say hello to Cream Puff Cookie! She will be able to generate a lot of jellies, and the 2,700 point bonus will stack with the 4,000 points for all jellies while she is casting her big spell! That's a lot of points!! She will be able to run for a very long time thanks to Mr. Limeguard as well!

However, Lime Cookie tend to lose Energy really fast, so you're going to have to load her down with Slower Energy Drain treasures if you want her to stay competitive. Mr. Limeguard will give her plently of chances to score big.
