There are many new players constantly asking for help in various forums about how can they build their team in Cookie Run: Kingdom. So we decided to put together a guide to help everyone who’s interested in creating or improving their teams.
Something to keep in mind is that this is about the very basics, the general idea of how we build a team in Cookie Run: Kingdom. And we are going to keep it very simple, not getting into super details and whatnot.
Of course, there are lists with the very best teams that you can simply copy, the problem is that you can’t always have the best cookies. And then what? Especially as a new player, or someone who doesn’t want to invest real money into this game, most of the time you simply have to make the best of what you have. And that’s what we are going to talk about in this article.
Also, it is important to point out that these tips are for PvE. Things in PvP are somewhat different and we won’t cover that aspect of the game here.
Team Composition
As a general rule of thumb, when we are putting together a team, we use the following number of cookies of each type.
Number of Defense Type Cookies: 1
Typically, one cookie of this type is in the front line of our team. This cookie’s role in the team is to absorb damage from the enemy team for its fellow cookies. Because of that, usually, you want full-almond.
List of Defense Cookies:

Defense Cookies are cookies that are consistently in the front line to safeguard the cookies behind them and have exceptionally high defense and HP. Their abilities primarily center around polishing different partners, taunting foes, and so on.
