Cookies shall confess their flavors to the Witches. – Book of Butter, 14:11
Menthol Cookie is a new Bomber-type in Cookie Run: Kingdom (CRK) that focuses on applying debuffs to enemy targets. He can apply a wide range of negative effects and increase the Water-type DMG that enemies receive. This makes him a good unit for a water element team composition. On top of that, he deals increased damage to bosses, making him a good unit in Guild Battle.
Released alongside other units like Doughael and Seltzer Cookie, Menthol Cookie is a devoted member of St. Pastry’s Order. However, he does not believe in blind faith and will stop at nothing to know the truth.
With that said, you’re probably here for the best Menthol Cookie build guide and which Toppings and Beascuit to use in Cookie Run Kingdom. Let’s dive into it.

Best Menthol Cookie Toppings and Beascuit in CRK
As a Bomber, Menthol Cookie needs as many ATK stats as he can to deal the most AoE damage. However, you can't always get these stats with your Beascuits and Toppings. Sometimes, you will have to settle for other stats like Cooldown, DMG Resist, and CRIT%. HP and DEF are still good, as he needs a bit of sustain to stay alive in fights.
Here is a quick rundown of the stats you can aim to get for Beascuits and Topiings for Menthol Cookie:
- Full ATK Toppings and Tart
- ATK, Cooldown, DMG Resist, or Crit% Substats
If you can, grab some Destined Toppings, which have a higher chance of rolling stronger stats for your cookie. You can get them in the Event Shop. The Mysterious Toppings also includes the Destined type in its selection.
Beascuits
- Spicy Beascuit or Water-type Beascuit
- Full Damage Resist Bypass
- Secondary Option: Cooldown, Damage Resist
Currently, there are no water-type Beascuits in the game. When they become available, it will most likely be the best-in-slot for Menthol Cookie. For now, you will have to settle for generic ones and focus on building up damage.
Best teams and treasures for Menthol Cookie in CRK
Menthol Cookie in CRK is best used in Guild Battle teams, specifically, the Machine-God of the Eternal Void boss. This boss is weak against water-type attacks, allowing you to maximize his kit alongside other units of the same element.
Best team composition
Here are some good team compositions you can try for Menthol Cookie:
- Menthol Cookie, Seltzer Cookie, Frilled Jellyfish Cookie, Sea Fairy Cookie, Cream Soda Cookie.
- Menthol Cookie, Seltzer Cookie, Frilled Jellyfish Cookie, Sea Fairy Cookie, Jagae Cookie.
One thing to keep in mind is that Seltzer Cookie has a unique interaction with Menthol Cookie. When they are both on the same team, Seltzer will inflict enemies and bosses with the Stinging Fizz debuff. This increases their target's water-type DMG received.
If you have Sea Fairy Cookie, upgrade her Crystal Jam to at least Level 10 for the extra damage buff. The same goes with Frilled Jellyfish Cookie; upgrade her Magic Candy to Level 10 for that CRIT% buff. The higher the Level of Crystal Jams and Magic Candies, the better.
Cream Soda Cookie further amplifies the water-type damage of your team exponentially. Her attacks also deal increased damage to enemies in PvE. This locks her out of being viable in PvP, but does make her viable in other content outside the arena.
Best treasures
For the best treasures for Menthol Cookie in CRK, it is recommended that you always equip a Jelly Watch for the Cooldown reduction. You need this in almost all team compositions, and this one is no exception. There is too much value in this treasure that you can't miss out on this one.
The second one is the Old Pilgrim's Scroll for the massive ATK increase. Alternatively, you can settle for the Disciple's Magic Scroll for a balanced mix of ATK and DEF stats. Unfortunately, you can't equip both scrolls.
As for the final slot, go for the Dream Conductor's Whistle. This provides your team with CRIT% and ATK buffs. Additionally, two cookies with the highest ATK will receive a DMG Resist buff, adding more to their survivability.
