· The latest comprehensive cookie tier list as of April consists of cookies from Tier 1 to Tier 3 that are safe to invest in.
· Guild Boss Battle cookies are divided into low-spec and mid-to-high-spec; beginners should start with low-spec and switch to mid-to-high-spec as their stats improve.
· Boss Battle cookies are essential cookies that must be raised, regardless of whether they are good or bad.
· The recommended content progression for newbies is World Exploration → Crystal Gacha (acquire Tier 1 cookies) → Cake Tower (achieve cookie level 100) → Boss Battle cookie setup.
· Cake Tower-exclusive cookies are used in sections where damage is insufficient, such as floors 160 and 250. If you haven't pulled them, you can purchase Soulstones from the Mileage Shop to complete them.

· Dark Enchantress Cookie: Currently the most overpowered and powerful cookie, possessing a conditional one-time revive ability. With various passives like Magic Drain, Dark Release, Debuff Resist, Damage Resist, and Damage Reduction, she is likely to dominate for a long time. She is an essential cookie that you must pull and power up.
· Eternal Sugar Cookie: Used in high-spec Dragon Boss Battle compositions and as a main staple in Arena meta decks. She is also essential for early-game users in Story, Cake Tower, etc., possessing excellent damage and buff/debuff abilities, making it recommended to go all-in on raising her from the start.
· Millennial Tree Cookie: A front-line tank and a Legendary cookie responsible for healing allies. With abilities like removing all buffs, increasing all allies' ATK and damage dealt during transformation, taunting enemies, and reducing his own debuffs, he is an overpowered front-line healer and tank that provides ally protection and beneficial effects. He is a must-pull.
· Sugar Swan Cookie: A cookie that significantly lowers the difficulty of story progression. Currently easily obtainable through an event, she is highly recommended to pull due to her overpowered ability to revive not once, but twice.
· Silent Salt Cookie: Possesses the ability to reset skill cooldowns when an ally's HP first reaches 70%. Strong damage, debuffs, and a silence debuff are her characteristics. While her Arena utility has somewhat decreased, she is useful in other content, so raising her is recommended.
· Awakened Saint Lily Cookie: Requires collecting 20 Awakening Shards to unleash her true potential. Upon incapacitation, she recovers 70% HP and gains a Damage Reduction buff and a 25% increase in Grass-type attack damage, making her even stronger. Used in Arena, Story, Cake Tower, etc.
· Awakened Pure Vanilla Cookie: His utility has somewhat decreased since Sugar Swan's release, but there's no harm in raising him. It's recommended to raise Sugar Swan first, then him.

· Bedew Cookie: Purely used for Arena, she is an irreplaceable essential cookie in Arena. Recommended for users who have somewhat completed their Boss Battle decks.
· Wind Archer Cookie, Mellowbun Cookie: Essential cookies for Guild Boss Battles, so they must be raised.
· Burning Spice Cookie, Fire Spirit Cookie: Among elemental cookies, they are so essential that they are irreplaceable. Even users without early-game damage dealers can progress through the story without difficulty with just these two cookies, as their damage and firepower are very strong.

· Shadow Milk Cookie: Her necessity has decreased in high-spec users' Dragon Boss Battle decks, and her utility has significantly dropped in Story and Arena as well.
· Awakened Olive Cookie: Her utility in Story and other content has significantly decreased.
· Dark Cacao Cookie: Rarely used anywhere except Cake Tower 180F, and even there, his utility has decreased to the point where it's possible to clear without necessarily using him.
· Misty Flower Cookie: Her utility is gradually decreasing, being overshadowed by Sugar Swan and Awakened Pure Vanilla.

· Guild Boss Battle cookies should be set up according to low-spec for low-spec users, and adjusted for mid-to-high-spec users as their stats improve.
· For those struggling to clear Cake Tower, a strategy guide is provided in the pinned comment, which you can refer to for clearing.
