The latest update of Cookie Run: Kingdom, titled *The Flame Awakens*, introduces an intriguing new character: Agar Agar Cookie. Known for her exceptional mimicking abilities, she joins previously introduced Epic Cookies, Wedding Cake Cookie and Black Forest Cookie, from the earlier *Match Made in Oven* update. Agar Agar Cookie is poised to add a layer of excitement and strategy to both World Exploration and the Kingdom Arena.
Agar Agar Cookie stands out for her unique skill set, as she mirrors the abilities of the five Legendary Guardians of Nature, absorbing their strengths and emulating their powers. This guide explores her skills, ideal topping builds, and the ways to maximize her potential in gameplay.
Understanding Agar Agar Cookie’s Skills and Abilities
Agar Agar Cookie is classified as an Epic Ambush Cookie and occupies a central role during battles. Interestingly, she does not possess her own intrinsic skill; instead, she adopts the abilities of one of the following five Guardians:
- Fire Spirit Cookie
- Sea Fairy Cookie
- Frost Queen Cookie
- Wind Archer Cookie
- Stormbringer Cookie
For her mirroring function to activate, at least one of these Cookies must be included in your roster. In scenarios where none are present, she will randomly adopt one of their skills. However, it’s worth noting that her emulation only captures a portion of their abilities. For instance, while Wind Archer Cookie has three distinct moves, Agar Agar only recreates **Last Wind** and certain effects of **Arrow of Gale**, without matching the exact damage or statistics.
Additionally, Agar Agar Cookie offers both buffs and debuffs, providing her team immunity to Shackles, which can be a game-changer. She also has the capability to diminish enemy movement and attack speeds. Below is a detailed table summarizing her skillset:

Optimal Topping Builds for Agar Agar Cookie
Navigating the diverse array of toppings available can be a daunting task. For Agar Agar Cookie, the most advantageous toppings include Swift Chocolate, which is instrumental in reducing her cooldown, and Searing Raspberry, aimed at amplifying her attack power crucial for maximizing damage output.
For a more elevated strategy, consider the Flaming Toppings version—either Flaming Chocolate or Flaming Raspberry. These enhanced toppings can be obtained from the Arcade Arena shop and not only improve her stats but also provide additional beneficial sub-stats, thereby increasing overall performance.
In PvP matchups against another Agar Agar Cookie, swapping her toppings with those from Fresh Kiwi may prove efficacious. Given Agar Agar’s knack for inflicting debuffs, Fresh Kiwi can bolster her resistance against these tactical maneuvers.
Boosting Agar Agar Cookie’s Power
Improving Agar Agar Cookie’s capabilities extends beyond selecting the ideal toppings. Elevation through Star Jellies is a fundamental strategy to enhance her base stats—HP, ATK, DEF, and CRIT—simultaneously strengthening her mirrored skill effects. Promoting and Ascending her can develop her into a formidable character.
The introduction of Beascuits and the Topping Tart system further augments her prowess. Aligning the Topping Tart with her current toppings can yield additional beneficial stats. Additionally, pairing her with a Crispy Beascuit that harmonizes with the Legendary Cookie she mirrors will improve her effectiveness substantially.
