Sweet dreams.

Capable of one-shotting in all stages of the game while also being a great all-rounder, it is little surprise that Moonlight Cookie is considered the best among the free Legendaries in Cookie Run Kingdom.

But to unlock her true potential, you won’t need any less investment than other cookies. Here are the best toppings and beascuits for Moonlight Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom.

A Magic cookie who thrives in the middle row, Moonlight Cookie is a self-sufficient pick capable of excelling in most (if not all) compositions. This is thanks to her non-elemental focus and ability to self-heal following her skill, Dream of the Night Sky, which deals massive DMG and applies both Sleep and a +25% DMG debuff. Moonlight is also immune to Sleep and, thus, to the effects of both Beckoning Dreams and Dream of Doom.

When equipped with her Crystal Jam, Moonlight Cookie’s skill is replaced by Twinkling Starry Sky. This is an enhanced variant that keeps the status-effect and debuff but exchanges its self-healing and initial DMG for increased DOT effects vs Cookies. She also gets a set of new passives—the ability to heal instead of being affected by Sleep and a +30% Amplify Buff. She gets access to a unique Rally Effect as well, which boosts her team’s Debuff Resistance by 7%. The value is further enhanced by 20% for seven seconds following each use of Twinkling Starry Sky (cannot stack).

Should you use her Crystal Jam?

Although you might not see any huge upsides initially, her Crystal Jam becomes a great addition at +20. This gives Moonlight Cookie a 1.7% boost in Skill DMG Bypass for each 1% CD decreased by her beascuit (up to 30%). The boosts given to both Radiant Crescent at +10 and Brilliant Starlight are also nothing to scoff at.

I only recommend equipping Moonlight Cookie’s Crystal Jam in situations where you need to boost your team’s overall defensive capabilities via her Rally Effect. Once it’s above +10, it is certainly worth equipping.

The best Toppings and Tart composition for Moonlight Cookie is a 5-piece Moonkissed Chocolate paired with a Swift Chocolate tart, which offers a great decrease in CD. If you don’t have the Moonkissed variants at first, don’t worry, as a regular Swift Chocolate set can work just as well if rolled right.

When looking at bonus effects, prioritize Cooldown and CRIT% to boost her Skill, DMG, and CRIT Resist to mitigate for her low HP and DEF values. If you want to further boost survivability, going for a mixed set with Hearty Hazelnut or Moonkissed Almond won’t hurt, especially for the Arena.

Given her non-elemental focus and type, the best pick for Moonlight Cookie is a regular Legendary Zesty Beascuit. To maximize her DMG, focus on getting CRIT%, DMG Resist Bypass, and (of course) Cooldown as bonus stats. When using her Crystal Jam at +20, make the latter your absolute priority to get the most out of her 1.7% DMG Bypass increase per 1% CD decreased effect.
