Magical cookies are some of the strongest units inCookie Run Kingdom,and are capable of turning the tide on the opposition and keeping enemies at bay. Among all available types of cookies,magical cookies inCookie Run Kingdomare highly sought after due to their high power levels and the ability to apply Crystal Jams to several units. WhileMoonlight Cookiehas been around for quite some time, a new update has made her incredibly overpowered and worth investing time and resources on.

Moonlight Cookie is one of five available Legendary Cookies, placing her in a class higher than most oftheCookie Run Kingdomroster. Released during the Invitation from the Slumbering Moon 4.0 update (v4.0), Moonlight Cookie has served many teams as one of the most-powerful cookies in the game, standing toe-to-toe with another Legendary Magic cookie, Frost Queen Cookie.

Moonlight Cookie Run Kingdom

Moonlight Cookie is a Magic cookie that attacks from the middle row, which means it’s worth placing her on a team that hasat least one ofthe best defense cookiesinCookie Run Kingdom. This is strictly to ensure her safety throughout the battle and give her time to recharge her skill and send waves of magical attacks towards the enemy. Moonlight Cookie is also the only Legendary cookie in the game not to have a specific element, making her a well-rounded attacker.

Skill: Dream of the Night Sky

Moonlight Cookie falls asleep in the night sky and dreams a dream where stars fall onto the enemies' heads, dealing damage and applying a DMG Increase debuff. Then, bright moonlight illuminates the battlefield, dealing damage to the enemies and putting them to Sleep. Enemies that didn’t fall Asleep become Drowsy and will eventually fall Asleep when their resistance statuses wear off. When Moonlight Cookie awakens, she will restore her own HP. She will also restore her own HP upon awakening from Sleep effects cast by enemies.

Being a dweller of the World of Dreams, Moonlight Cookie is not susceptible to the Beckoning Dreams & Dream of Doom effect. (DMG relative to Max HP is capped at 300,000).
