One Cookie that can help you deal out lethal damage and stay on top of your game is Lemon Cookie. Here’s the best Lemon Cookie build for Cookie Run Kingdom, including the best Toppings and Beascuits. 


The Escapist recaps

  • Lemon Cookie is an Epic Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom that fills the Ambush role, fitting into the Middle rank of a team nicely.
  • Released alongside Marshmallow Bunny Cookie, Lemon Cookie is a powerful Ambush attacker with the Electricity elemental affinity.
  • To make the most out of Lemon Cookie’s attack style, the best build would include five Swift Chocolate M Toppings, with Searing Raspberry M Toppings filling in any of the gaps if a full set is unattainable. 
  • The best Topping Tart would be a Swift Chocolate Topping Tart, accompanied by a Beascuit that prioritizes cooldown management and attack stats. A lesser priority is health and HP management.

Lemon Cookie is an Epic rarity Cookie that fills a Middle Ambush role in Cookie Run Kingdom. This means that he can deal significant damage and make light work of bosses, but that he’s not particularly durable and can be hampered by long cooldowns.

Lemon Cookie’s primary attack is Lightning Dash, which has a base 12-second cooldown. This attack sends him flying forward to place a bomb cube of sorts, then zipping backwards again to trigger the attack, dealing massive damage if a critical strike lands. 

The best Lemon Cookie build is five Swift Chocolate M Toppings to help mitigate the 12-second cooldown. While 12 seconds might not seem like a long cooldown in other games like CRK, it’s a big deal in this pastry-based gacha, with the ability to shave off a few seconds coming in incredibly handy.

If you don’t have access to five Swift Chocolate M Toppings, filling in the gaps with Searing Raspberry M Toppings is an acceptable solution, helping to provide an extra hit of damage for this electricity-loving Cookie.

In terms of Topping Tarts, the best option for Lemon Cookie is a Swift Chocolate Topping Tart, with another option being a Healthy Peanut Topping Tart to help keep him alive. Ambush Cookies don’t tend to have the most durable health pools in the game, so a small hit of HP is worthwhile. 

Beascuit-wise, look for options that help with cooldown management and attack stats further, opting for HP boosts if no other Beascuits are available from your collection. These will help keep Lemon Cookie attacking quickly.

While he might not be the rarest Cookie in the game by any means, Lemon Cookie can be a fiercely powerful attacker if you build him correctly and pair him with a strong Support and Healing backing, like Millennial Tree Cookie
