· With the release of the new 'Timekeeper' cookie just around the corner, we've prepared a training guide for new or returning players.
· While there haven't been major tier changes recently, excluding collaboration cookies, we'll cover which cookies to train right before Timekeeper's release.
· Beginners, new, and returning players should prioritize World Exploration to gather resources.

· Dark Enchantress Cookie, which previously had limited acquisition methods, is now easier to obtain through the 'Smash Cutter' gacha tickets in this patch.
· You can obtain Smash Cutter gacha tickets by collecting Smash Cutters. Clearing World Exploration from Stage 1 with increasing difficulty allows you to collect over 300 in 6 days.
· It's best to save Smash Cutters instead of using them. Clearing up to World Exploration Master Mode rewards you with 20 Skilled Cutters and Crystals.
· Even free-to-play users can collect up to 700,000-800,000 Crystals by clearing all of World Exploration.
· This is a great opportunity to collect Smash Cutters through various missions and events, so participating and collecting them is crucial.

· To resolve issues like frequent crashes, lag, discomfort due to small screens, and overheating, we recommend playing Cookie Run Kingdom on PC using MuMu Player.
· MuMu Player is lightweight and stable, allowing for smooth gameplay with 240 FPS high frame rates and high definition.
· There are no ads that interfere with gameplay, and features like Smart Control and mouse/keyboard keymapping enable precise and comfortable play.
· You can download MuMu Player via the link in the pinned comment.

· If you have Dark Enchantress Cookie, it's highly recommended to train her first.
· If you don't have Dark Enchantress, among the top-tier cookies, we recommend prioritizing training Awakened Saint Lily, Fearful Vaila, Eternal Sugar, Silent Salt, Burning Spice, Mystic Flower, and Shadow Milk in that order.
· Shadow Milk is necessary for Dragon fights, but Silent Salt or Eternal Sugar are higher priority for story progression or World Exploration.
· For Primal Hand or gacha pulls, Eternal Sugar or Silent Salt are more needed, and you can obtain Shadow Milk from Chronicles or Expeditions.
· For the first Primal Hand pull, prioritize Burning Spice, and it's better to focus on Burning rather than Mystic Flower.
· Wind Archer and Sea Fairy are also useful in Torment and other content, so it's good to train them.
· Other Legendary cookies not mentioned have lower priority.

· Refer to the easy-to-understand overall tier list and prioritize training Tier 1 cookies first.
· Among Tier 2 cookies, Venom Dog is essential for Arena but is a must-use. Tiers may change after Timekeeper's release.
· Tier 3 cookies are not essential but are useful.
· Cake Tower and Torment cookies are essential and fixed based on the current criteria.
· After Timekeeper's release, cookie usability may change due to Cake Tower expansions, and a new tier list will be updated accordingly.

· With Timekeeper's release, a new acquisition method for Dark Enchantress will be available. It's important to use Smash Cutter cards before the update but save Dark Enchantress gacha tickets.
· There are many resources that can be obtained from collaboration events, so make sure to utilize them as much as possible.
· Ahead of a major update, it's more important to save resources and prepare for the update rather than building Torment decks.
· Various improvements are planned, such as changing the 'Jongbuff' duration from 5 minutes to 10 minutes and shop sales.
· For new and returning players, it's crucial to use this period to gather resources rather than taking a break from the game until the update.
