In Cookie Run: Kingdom, there are numerous strategies to enhance your cookie characters’ capabilities. As players advance in the game, they can utilize star jellies and skill powders to level up their cookies, preparing them for encounters with various foes. One of the principal methods to elevate a cookie’s specific attributes is through the application of toppings and biscuits. This allows players to optimize their cookies’ strengths and address any weaknesses.
Recently, a new feature called Topping Tarts was introduced to Cookie Run: Kingdom. While some veteran players might be skeptical about yet another cookie enhancement mechanic, the concept of Topping Tarts is quite simple and user-friendly. So, what exactly are these Topping Tarts, and how can players obtain them?
Understanding Topping Tarts in Cookie Run: Kingdom
An Additional Component to Topping Sets
Topping Tarts function as an additional, sixth topping slot but lack any substats. For instance, while swift chocolate toppings enhance a cookie’s cooldown stat, swift chocolate topping tarts provide a similar bonus. Like conventional toppings, Topping Tarts are categorized into common, rare, and epic varieties. Generally, the most effective Topping Tart will correspond to the flavor of the toppings that a cookie is equipped with in greater numbers.
Currently, there are no resonant Topping Tarts; therefore, the primary focus should be on matching the tart with the cookie’s general topping type. By placing a matching Topping Tart with a cookie, players can unlock a small bonus for each corresponding topping equipped. For example, equipping a Searing Raspberry Tart will grant an 8% attack boost if the cookie has three raspberry toppings, increasing to 10% with five raspberry toppings. This system provides a strategic advantage in maximizing specific stats and balancing different topping types.
How to Acquire Topping Tarts in CRK
Gather Essential Resources by Mining
The recent “Fire Awakens”update, which includes the Fire Spirit Cookie, also introduced a new gameplay section titled “Into The Depths.”Here, players send their cookies on mining expeditions to gather vital resources, currently the only means of obtaining materials for crafting Topping Tarts. These creations can be produced in the workshop using Flour Stone, Sugar Ore, and Butter Amber. Flour Stone is relatively easy to source and can be found within Salty Tart Veins.

Topping Rarity |
Ingredients |
Materials When Broken Down |
|---|---|---|
|
Common |
50 Flour Stone |
1 Tart Essence, 3 Flour Stone |

Rare |
10 Sugar Ore, 100 Flour Stone |
7-9 Tart Essence, 7 Flour Stone |
|
Epic |
1 Butter Amber, 20 Sugar Ore, 200 Flour Stone |
43-47 Tart Essence, 100 Flour Stone |
Sugar Ore can be mined from rarer “Sweet Power Gem”veins or obtained through deep exploration of the mines. This exploration resembles balloon expeditions but comes with time constraints on skipping. Acquiring Butter Amber proves more challenging, as it can only be purchased at the Mine Shop for 200 Tart Essences—gained from dismantling other Topping Tarts. Hence, players must create numerous lower-tier tarts before crafting an epic one, which requires a significant investment of time.
As players delve deeper into the mines, they can also locate high-rarity soulstones that Agar Agar Cookie has ensnared in slime.
When players craft a Topping Tart, only its rarity is guaranteed while the specific type remains random. Therefore, it’s wise to exercise caution when breaking down epic tarts and to retain those that may be critical for future enhancements—these often include searing raspberries, swift chocolates, and solid almonds. The sole way to ensure a specific Topping Tart is through a rare choice chest, which are infrequent in Cookie Run: Kingdom. Thus, players should value these opportunities and ensure every cookie on their Kingdom Arena team is equipped with the optimal tart for maximum effectiveness.
