Hey fellow player! I've gotten lots of people in my life to play Cookie Run: Ovenbreak, from family members to friends, and almost every single one of them to the exact same things I, regrettably, did in the past before. So what is this thread for? It's basically a compilation of beginner tips I wished I knew back then.

I know most of you aren't beginners here on this Forum, but I hope if you are one, these might help you! I'd say beginners might be players in Land 5 and below, or below Escape Level 25. I'll split the tips into different sections for easy reading.

🏆 Trophy Races 🏆

Tip #1: Keep Trophy Racing

This is the #1 most cliche tip you can give to players, but keep trophy racing! Keep racing and racing, even if you're sick and tired of that land, even if all you're getting are negative amount of trophies, because:

1. Getting a low score can still get you some Golden Tickets.

2. There is definitely going to be a point in time where you will stop getting negative trophies, i.e. You've improved, or you've reached a land where you can't get your trophies deducted.

These Golden Tickets are your key to the precious babies we call Spirit Potions. We used to get Potions from things like Frozen Diamond Chests too, but alas, the only way we can get them now are from Gold Chests. So keep racing!

Tip #2: Try out different combis all the time

Do you ever just love a Cookie so much you keep using them, and neglect every other cookie? Me too. But then there was that one time I did change my combi... and I got two million more than my highscore. And it was a really, really unpredictable combi. So please switch up your combi if it gets stale or if you think another combi might work out as well!

Try not to copy other people's combis without actually testing out the ones you have first. Especially from high level friends and the global rankings, since their cookies are probably at least 10 levels above yours and have the Magic Candies maxed. With that being said, try to make Magic Candies for your Cookies too!

Besides this, when trying new combis, I recommend Trophy Racing instead of Practicing! Because Trophy Racing, as mentioned earlier, gives you Golden Tickets regardless of your race ranking, and currently Lucky Cookie Jars only spawn in Trophy Races. Don't bother if some trophies are deducted, you can always earn them back later!

Tip #3: Treasures are the real treasures

As a beginner, I didn't really see much purpose of treasures, and I didn't think they'd boost my score as significantly as levelling up a cookie or pet would. Most of my crystals went to buying chests, which I regret insanely. Use your crystals to buy treasures, especially since there's the 10+1 bonus deal now, and treasures are cheaper than in the past. (Old price: 690 crystals)

Tip #4: Try to drop the Shield Bubble Gun

An over reliance on this treasure can be the difference between a #1 vs #3 on the Trophy Race rankings, since you could very well equip a treasure that helps you to score, in place of the Shield Bubble Gun.



Yikes, the same tip. And yes, Breakout Mode gets boring after some time. But not only can you reap the benefits of the Mystic Jewel Tablets, you can also practice to improve your overall scores. (And touch some cookies you've never used in your lifetime) Plus, Legendary Cookies await you...

Tip #2: Try not to waste crystals and rescue tickets

It's easy for us to quickly click on the "Rescue Cookie" button once a hole gets to us, but it's sometimes more worth it to restart the whole Breakout, or just restart that one run.

🌱 Farming 🌱

Farming comes in all types of forms, the most popular being coin farming. Here's some tips on the diffetent types of farming in CR:OB!

Farming #1: Coin Farming

Try to get Cheesecake and Mint Choco as soon as possible. Their pets aren't necessary since you can use Rocket Firecracker as your Pet. When coin farming with this Pet, Land 4-1 is a good place to run in. Take advantage of the holes to generate coins when your Cookie boosts. Land 2 and Land 3 are also good for coin farming if you're using another Pet, though Land 2 is easier and will net you less coins.

Try not to use Mint Choco as a relay to Cheesecake and vice versa because they each have limited number of runs per day, and when you use them as a relay they start with half their base health, therefore "wasting" a run with them. On the 50% Coin Bonus day, you may also wish to pay crystals to renew their runs again.

The recommended treasures for coin farming are Lollipop Skates, Coin Fireworks Box, Crown Silver Coin, Ice Pearl Coral and Mini Magnetic Robot.

Farming #2: Mystery Box Farming

A lot of players farm for Mystery Boxes in Breakout Mode, in which they farm in Stage 1-1, and restart the entire Breakout Mode to farm again. It's a slow grinding process, but the rewards are worth it. If you want to farm quickly, use Knight Cookie and Foxy Beadfor extra speed.

Farming #3: Crystal Farming

Currently the only ways to get crystals is through events, Gold Chests, Crystal Jars and Breakout Mode. So, when people "crystal farm", they typically mean just Trophy Racing. So don't give up!

👤 Adding Friends 👤

Another thing I wish I knew back then was the importance of adding friends. Besides getting rewards due to Invitation Events and the Nearby Friends Event, you also get to:

Tip #1: Use your friends' score as a gauge

Comparing your score to friends of a similar Escape Level is a good way to gauge your progress on the game. (And maybe copy your friends' combinations if you are of a similar Escape Level, and have similar levelled Cookies and Pets.)

Tip #2: Gifting Cookies and Pets

You may not be willing to gift a certain Cookie because you have very few of said Cookie, but trust me, once you've reached a certain level all these Commons and Rares will be overflowing in your inventory. So, gift them while you can! Plus, you get Escape Points as well as coins whenever you gift your friends. (+200 coins for each Common gifted, +2000 coins for each Rare gifted)

In addition, when you gift your friends, it's definitely more likely that they'll return the kind gesture!

📃 Miscellanous Tips 📃

Tip #1: Save up your Spirit Potions

Try not to just pump Spirit Potions into Cookies and Pets that you like, but rather those that can help you to score high. Spirit Potions should be treasured and used wisely.

Tip #2: Upgrade as many Cookies and Pets as you can

When you have enough coins, upgrade as many Cookies and Pets as possible, especially those with a Cheer Squad effect. Coin farm every day too, if possible, else you'll end up like me:

Tip #3: Complete your Cookie Quests

Cookie Quests are a great way to earn coins, crystals and Escape Points, and they have been made easier since they've been renewed. So, if possible, try to finish your Cookie Quests!

Tip #4: Plug in your stereos

The game music, though undeniably cute, may not be your cup of tea. So plug in your own music and do Trophy Races! You might like it more. Psst... Rock music helps to improve my scores by millions.

Tip #5: Have fun

Cookie Run: Ovenbreak, after all, is a game despite its international competitive nature. So relax, enjoy and just have fun! It's what you've downloaded this game for, anyway. (At least I hope.) Don't be stressed out when Trophy Racing because you're likely to do much worse.

That concludes the end of my post! I hope you find it useful to some extent, and I wish you a happy and fruitful gaming journey! 🍀
