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.

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. This is pretty simple. Cheesecake Cookie can generate a lot of coins with her Coin Firework Parties ability, and Buttercream Choco Cookie will add a 25% Coin Bonus at the end. The Coin Scale will convert any and all your points into Coins, and the Stuffed Elephant Money Box will give you extra points for Coins. A lot of people tend to use this combi in Escape from the Oven, as it's an easy and relaxing stage to farm Coins on.

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 (assuming you have fully upgraded the Flower Pots and Buttercream Choco Cookie).

Alternatively, you can switch out two Golden Magic Flower Pots for Stuffed Elephant Money Boxes and switch Mr. Fa-Sol-Sa-Si with the Coin Scale. It will become a combi that is very similar to the Cheesecake Cookie further above. It is really up to your preference on what you want to do! :3

Outdated Points Combis
Oh boy. Now we're entering the "meat" of the blog - there are MANY ways to gather points in the game. There is no best combi, just play with the one you feel the most comfortable with. I'm going to be listing the most popular ones. For Points, you're always going to want the 25% Slower Energy Drain Random Boost.

By the way, if you see Muay Thai and Werewolf Cookie as a Relay, either one works as a Relay as they function pretty much the same. Just scroll down to the next chapter if you want more information about those two.

WARNING: MANY of the combis here in this section are outdated with the introduction of City of Wizards. The treasures that grants points and most of the Cookies' abilities are useless as they have not been scaled up in the update. If you want to stay competitive, this is not the section for you. This will hopefully be fixed in a future update so they will again be competitive. Please scroll down to the Competitive Points Combis section if you are looking for current points combis. Just like the Coin set-up earlier in this post, all you have to do is just switch around a few things and you have a very solid Points-scoring combi. Cheesecake Cookie will generate a lot of Coins with Coin Firework Parties, which will give your Jelly Scale Coins to convert into Points. The Stuffed Elephant Money Box will give you more Points, and the Golden Magic Flower Pot can generate Coin Flowers for you to collect to feed your Jelly Scale. Most people tend to use this combi in Escape from the Oven, however, as it is usually difficult to score points otherwise due to a lack of jellies or obstacles compared to the other stages. For best results, you will want 30% Faster Base Speed Random Boost. It will make Cheesecake's Coin Firework Parties last longer, thus giving you even more points.

Alternatively, if you have Mint Choco Cookie, you can replace Muay Thai / Werewolf Cookie with him as Mint Choco Cookie can still generate Coins for your Coin Scale to convert even after Cheesecake Cookie has checked out. It might be a little tricky, however, as you'd be running 30% faster and will likely collide into obstacles a LOT.

Yes, even Mint Choco Cookie can be a great points generator. His combi with Ms. Do-Re-Mi increases the points from Coins just like the Stuffed Elephant Money Boxes. You can triple-dip that way!

If you want to score massive points, fill all treasure slots with Stuffed Elephant Money Boxes and nab the Magnetic Aura Random Boost. Of course, this only really works in Escape from the Oven as the Energy drain in the other Episodes are too great to not use the 25% Reduced Energy Drain Random Boost.

You're going to generate a LOT of points with Blackberry Cookie's Paranormal Activity ability, especially if you pair it up with a Mysteriously Magical Star Brooch. The Flame Bat gives more points for each jelly you collect due to Blackberry's combi bonus with it, and it will also give your Cookies Energy.

Alternatively, you can switch one of the Magnetic Energy Recovery Drinks for another Mysteriously Magical Star Brooch and replace the other with Angel Cookie's Rainbow Feather. Kiwi Cookie's going to spend a lot of time in Giant Mode due to Kiwi Bird, so people tend to couple him up with a Femme Fatale Perfume No. 10 which gives extra points for jellies you collect while Giant and makes it last 10% longer. Kiwi Cookie will also be able to travel very far on his motorcycle which also gives extra points for all jellies you collect while he is riding it - he will be able to generate a lot of points.

Alternatively, you can replace a Magnetic Energy Recovery Drink with another Femme Fatale Perfume No. 10, or you can use two Mouth-Watering Fluffy Kiwi Bread or a mix of the two. You can also use a Mouth-Watering Fluffy Kiwi Bread instead in the last slot. You can also replace Muay Thai Cookie with Angel Cookie or Fairy Cookie so she can nab all the Kiwi Bubbles for extra points if you are using the Mouth-Watering Fluffy Kiwi Bread treasure. Soda Cookie will surf and destroy all obstacles in his way when he collects an Energy Potion, and the Lemon Slice does just that. It also gives a couple of bonuses: it generates Soda Bubbles for extra points, and has a combi with Soda Cookie to increase the points of the said Soda Bubbles. People tend to pair that up with Soda Flavor Twin Ice Pops to double dip: to make Energy Potions (including Lemon Slice's) give more Energy on top of giving more points with Soda Bubbles. Angel or Fairy Cookie will be able to nab all the Soda Bubbles on the screen giving her a lot of points as well.

Alternatively, while Soda Cookie is surfing he gets an innate mini Magnetic Aura so some people tend to double (or even triple) dip on Soda Flavor Twin Ice Pops for massive points. You can also swap out one of the Drinks with another Twin Flavored Soda Pops and use Angel Cookie's Rainbow Feather. Due to how Tiger Lily Cookie's Jelly Flower Hairpin works, Knight Cookie and Tiger Lily Cookie can take advantage of that due to how they ride a Horse and a Tiger respectively which triggers the bonus, which is huge. Whenever you get a Blast jelly, you will mount on your Horse which will push you even faster down the road allowing you to score major points, and Foxy Bead will give you Giant Blast Jellies routinely. Sneakers for the Perfect Sprint works in a couple of ways: It will make Blasts last longer, and will allow Tiger Lily to still generate good points while she's building up to ride her pet Tiger.

Alternatively, another way for this combi is to use Snow Sugar Cookie and an AWOL Cracker and replace Sneakers for the Perfect Sprint with something else - people tend to use Magnetic Energy Recovery Drink, or Specially made Flaming Cocktail.

If you do not have Tiger Lily Cookie, you can just use both Knight and Snow Sugar Cookie and replace the Hairpin with another Sneakers of the Perfect Sprint or Femme Fatale Perfume No. 10. The combi below might be a better use of the dual Sneakers, though, if you want to double down on that treasure. Alchemist Cookie can generate Blast jellies with her Alchemy which can benefit from Sneakers for the Perfect Sprint. Pistachio Firefly also generates Blast jellies and gives extra points for jellies as a combi with Alchemist Cookie. People tend to pair her up with Fire Spirit Cookie because of his ability to revive. As long as you're Blasting, you're going to generate a lot of points.

If you don't have Fire Spirit Cookie, Knight Cookie is a good alternative as he will be able to Blast faster and longer due to his ability.

This combi seems to be gaining in popularity. Pink Choco Cookie can make Pink Bear Jellies and her combi with the Enchanted Locket further increases the points and gives her mini Energy Potions, so it's a nice combi. The Double Pink Bear Jelly Party Hat further increases the points and make it so Pink Bear Jellies appear more often when you nab an All-Bear Jelly.

Alternatively, you can replace one of Magnetic Energy Recovery Drinks with 1000 Year Old Premium Ginseng Root Liquor. The Liquor gives extra points for Pink Bear Jellies and makes Power Jellies last 10% longer - including the All-Bear Jellies. Just be sure to replace one of the Drinks with Angel Cookie's Rainbow Feather if you do so! It's rare for two Cookies to work very well together, but Muay Thai works very well with Werewolf Cookie. Their main goal is to destroy as many obstacles as they can and the Enchanted Locket will keep them going.

Alternatively, you can use the Furball Pup pet instead. It has a combi with Werewolf Cookie that increases points from all jellies and can revive your main AND relay Cookie each for a total of 8 revives. In the long run, however, the Enchanted Locket will give more Energy so it's your call. You can use a Specially made Flaming Cocktail instead of the Supremely Yummy Monster Muffin, but they both work very well. Soda Cookie can't take advantage of Tiger Lily Cookie's Jelly Flower Hairpin since his surf board is not considered a "ride" and cannot rack up massive points with the treasure. However, Cocoa Cookie can! She will rack up a lot of points if you pair her up with the Lemon Slice pet and Tiger Lily Cookie's Jelly Flower Hairpin, as the Hairpin ALSO applies to Soda Bubbles the Lemon Slice makes. This is very powerful especially in the later Episodes where there are a lot of obstacles for the Lemon Slice to convert into Soda Bubbles. She does not need a Magnetic Aura to be effective, as her Cocoa Cup ride makes a magnetic aura while you are riding it. The same goes with Snow Sugar's Snow Friends.

Competitive Points Combis
The following combis below will actually help you stay competitive in the City of Wizards update, as they have been scaled up already. They tend to use treasures that Slows Energy Drain and gives Revives as many of the treasures are still outdated.

The list is rather short at the moment as the City of Wizards was recently released, but the list will eventually grow bigger as more Cookies, Pets and treasures are released and/or updated.

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'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.

Ironically enough, even Cream Cookie can be a great points generator, as she will generate about the same amount of points as Cherry Blossom due to her Magic Apprentice ability. However, it is somewhat luck reliant according to how her ability works. She may luck out and trigger a lot of big spells potentially beating Cherry Blossom in term of points, or she would only be able to cast it every 4 casts at the worst putting her about equal to Cherry Blossom. She will need the Magnetic Aura to be able to attract all the Jellies, however. With Mini Jackson No. 2 in the mix with the new Gumball Cookie, this combi is very powerful - but quite difficult to master. You need to time your ride so it syncs up with Mini Jackson No. 2's Colorful Laser ability to score a LOT of points with Tiger Lily Cookie's Flower Hairpin and the Royal Bear Jelly Saddles. This combi is, so far, one of the highest scoring combis in the game at the moment.

If you need an example of how this combi works, check the video out here. There's actually an example of the combi in each Episode, but I went with Escape from the Oven since it's the easiest stage and likely the easiest you can study without all the distractions.

Why Drinks instead of Angel Cookie's Rainbow Feather?
