Best Linzer Cookie Toppings build in Cookie Run Kingdom (CRK)

Linzer is a Cookie Run: Kingdom Epic Support Cookie that prioritizes the Rear position in the team. Her kit revolves around gaining as many Deduction stacks as possible before using her Skill, which deals a considerable amount of DMG, buffs the team, and debuffs enemies.

Linzer can be difficult to use due to her niche kit. If you're interested in optimizing her contribution to the team, here are some of my recommendations on how to build her.

Best Toppings build for Linzer Cookie in CRK

While Linzer Cookie can benefit from DPS-boosting Toppings, keep in mind that she's extremely squishy and will easily die in any game mode—especially the Arena. I find her more useful in PvE scenarios, but even then, she can be difficult to keep alive.

• x5 Solid Almond (best-in-slot) - best option for survivability, while sacrificing some of Linzer's DPS output
• x5 Searing Raspberry - an option if you want to increase Linzer's DMg output, while significantly reducing her survivability

For bonus stats, consider giving Linzer more DMG Resist, as well as some cooldown reduction and ATK. If you find that her cooldown reduction is already low enough with Treasures, you can opt not to roll for it in bonus stats.

Best Treasures for Linzer Cookie in CRK

Linzer Cookie's Skill has a long cooldown, so make sure she's paired with the Sleepyhead Jelly Watch or Squishy Jelly Watch to make it easier to use. She will also benefit from any DPS-boosting and survivability Treasures you slot in for the rest of the team, such as the Old Pilgrim's Scroll.

The Culprit... is YOU!:

• Linzer Cookie gains Deduction stacks instead of regular attacks. Upon using her skill, she increases the CRIT percent of her allies and applies the Suspect debuff to the enemy with the highest ATK, dealing damage to the target and area damage to the enemies nearby. The Suspect debuff is enhanced with Deduction stacks, and when using the skill with the maximum number of stacks, the debuff will decrease the target's DEF and apply a CRIT DMG buff for allies.
• The renowned writer's impeccable deduction allows the Suspect debuff to be applied even to targets with debuff immunity. While Linzer Cookie is using her skill, she will briefly become resistant to interrupting effects.

Skill specs:

• Cooldown: 16 seconds
• Deduction: stacks up to seven times
• Area DMG: 433.6% of ATK
• Target DMG: Max x3 DMG for 1.5 sec; 552.7% DMG per hit
• CRIT percent: +15% for 15 seconds
• CRIT DMG: +25% for 15 seconds
• Suspect Debuff: +10% all types of DMG for 15 seconds +10% per Deduction stack, -5% enemy ATK, +2% per Deduction stack
• DEF: -35% for 15 seconds, stacks up to once
