The second one was supposed to be a like static screen, but the effect program kept crashing when I tried to remove it so I just gave up 😢

[@raiserincoming]

13:40 I think someone likes Candy Drop Cookie from this point on but idk....

[@maybesparky]

To be fair, all of what was said was true 😝

[@-nik._]

candy drop getting the deserved recognition frfr 😌

[@TheGreatPM1]

When I took a break from this game, I wasn't expecting to see this much changes. I left after the Blackberry update cause I just wasn't interested in anything that the game had and only recently did I come back so it's nice to see that you're still helping out some players. As for the tier list, i'm extremely surprised to see how the entire list played out, I can't say anything about any of the new Cookies except Peach but I can comment on some others. Like how i'm genuinely surprised that Sting Durian is a lot more useful which is good because he's probably my favorite TOA exclusive Cookie. And it's good to see that Cookies that I really like using are really high but some i'm surprised over, mainly Mala Sauce and Dark Choco. I thought they would be a lot higher because of how strong they surprisingly are, idk putting Cherry higher than Mala Sauce is so weird to me but again, can't say much because who knows, maybe the buffs and nerfs really did affect those Cookies like I remember Hard Mode giving out 100 gems per level and not 30. Either way, nice tier list

[@maybesparky]

The thing is that Mala, outside of Champion raids, typically does worse than Cherry due to her lower damage and slowness of her abilities. Also Durian got some pretty nice buffs which is why he ended up so high! The only issue is that he needs P5 to truly shine, so I can't really place him higher. And ty :D

[@-nik._]

i agree with the tier list! although i think i would move down blackberry to S tier simply because she's not that universal (pretty sure she lowers the dmg res inflicted upon enemies only for dark elemental cookies) and dark team isn't rlly that goodd but other than that, this tier list was very well made ekekek (also additional note about chili: if we count the present delivery race gamemode, then she's extremely good there, in fact - shes the best cookie in that gamemode) !!

[@maybesparky]

Actually BB does reduce all elemental res down now! I'm shocked they changed it to that, but no complaints here. (Also jokes aside, I would've placed Chili for that mode but then some people might get the wrong idea lol)

[@-nik._]

​​@@maybesparkyglad bb is now more universal!! honestly i had no idea that they changed that 😭

[@DoughnutGigaChad]

Bro, thank you so much for the video, I really needed it, because I was so curious about who to build, and I was planning before the video to build plantain, but now you gave a few ideas. Once again thank you, and good luck with your life stuff, and for everybody! 😄

[@maybesparky]

I'm glad it helped!!

[@SleepyWhistles]

Sting durian is the most versatile 5 star promotion cookie frfrfr

[@Kradch1]

"Sassy sparky" lol XD Respectable list! :D Honestly as a Dark Choco and Durian main I expected them to be higher because their damage is insane and can be used pretty much everywhere if played right, but I agree that promotions and necessary skill can affect placing and they are kiiiiinda slow (I have a friend who can't stand Dark Choco's playstyle for example). I would also switch Pesto and Sugar Globe because Pesto's very versatile with his AoE damage; it's almost a turn-off-my-brain and-let-it-rip in pretty much all game modes, while Sugar Globe doesn't feel as general in use, even with 5* promotion. But that's just my take and experience! Would your list be different assuming all cookies are 5* promoted? :3

[@maybesparky]

Yeah honestly after posting this SG should be a bit lower, and Basil is a pretty solid DPS overall. Also assuming they’re all 5 star, maybe? It would change some placements (like Kohl and Durian) but overall I think the list still stands pretty well. Also to be clear, commons and rares are always graded as a 5 star promo.

[@Kradch1]

@maybesparky Pretty fair! :3 Thank you for the list!

[@Miru_hou]

I love this youtube channel,you are my favorite cookie run tower of adventure content creator(sorry for my bad english)

[@maybesparky]

I'm glad you like my content!!! :D

[@CoolGuy724YT]

Thanks for the tier list man, definitely useful as i just started the game recently Currently my solo loadout consists of Cream soda, Peach and Candy drop cookie (Level 40) and it is working well so far! I just unlocked the new Ice mint cookie, where do you think it places on the tier list? Does it outclass Cream soda cookie?

[@novicehumanahh]

Honestly, whether a Cookie is good or nah highly depends on your personal equipment set, your team, the element, the game mode and so on. A general tier list cannot just summarize things up genuienly

[@maybesparky]

While I get what you mean, this can essentially be said for ANY tier list when it comes to characters in video games, as a lot of things are conditional. While no tier list can perfectly depict the true standings of cookies, they can get fairly close. I took a lot of this into account, placing cookies higher or lower depending on how easy/hard they are to build (ex: SG isn't sort of low since she is a monster to build. While someone like Zest can get away with just using a light set) and if they were dependent on promotions (ex: Kohlrabi is, so he isn't S. Zest, Jala, and CS can get away with lower promos, giving them the edge.) I also placed them depending on how well they actually functioned in their respective role (Muscle is D because, despite the only option, he isn't actually good.) Not to mention game mode viability was a huge part in placements, with S+ cookies being usable pretty much EVERYWHERE, and even cookies in S and A being widely used. I guess my point is to think of the tier list as merely a visual aid. While a picture can't get all the nuances of each cookie, the video is 17 minutes of me explaining their placements for a reason. Sorry if I come off as combative, just wanted to explain!

[@syresiath]

This is one of the tier lists of all time

[@kxcnw5800]

yo sparky im new to the game and i got an epic cookie choice chest who should i choose? i preferably would want a dps cooked or someone who is extremely versatile

[@maybesparky]

Candy Drop cookie is your best choice as of now!!

[@kxcnw5800]

@@maybesparky bet i'll pick him rn thank u!!!

[@NagiSupremacy]

The bad thing whit Rye is you had to need her whit promotions, fortunately i had their 4 stars promotions (and whit forgotten hero's set, it's pretty broken whit all that damage) but whit 1 star, is very uncomfortable to play

[@NagiSupremacy]

The same happends whit Sting Durian, but whit the 2 star promotion you cover a lot more than Rye

[@maybesparky]

@@NagiSupremacy The thing with Rye is even with her promotions, she is still incredibly mid 😥

[@NagiSupremacy]

@@maybesparky Ye, but at least it's easier to get tons of critical hits (not enough damage, but i like that sensation XD)

[@kaipersjourney5512]

ZZZ music, my beloved. Also good tier list

[@maybesparky]

ZZZ music has healed part of my soul

[@Patricko22]

heck yeah, ZZZ music is so fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@Adspancake]

Its weird how some common cookies outdo rare cookies like the better option is the easiest

[@maybesparky]

Cherry is a pure anomaly: she was definitely NOT supposed to be as good as she is ;-;

[@raiserincoming]

​@@maybesparky Despite that I pray that they make all the Common cookies viable like her, but arguably less good.

[@bombie-cloudy]

i disagree on only ONE cookie.. its crushed pepper. he has alot of hp if jst focus on it. if u focus on dmg.. welll.. it aint the best trust me he carries every single time (well not all ways) he can be such a gud tank if u jst focus on hp overall the rest i COMPLETLY agree on EDIT: i think he deserves an A tier or a high B tier

[@Baizhus]

Candy Drop supremacy =w=

[@Tiki-mq1fb]

I want the candy drop skin so bad but they dont make it f2p friendly AT ALL :(

[@ARAGAMI2007]

I agree for the most part, but there are some cookies I would move, lemon and black barry to S there not as fixable as the other 2 in S+, rack star in S+ you can ues him in any comp very flexible, Kohlrabi in S, Drak choco and crushed pepper in A, sugar Globe in B, sting in B, but other then that good tier list 👍

[@Tiki-mq1fb]

"Other than changing the whole tier list I think it was a good list" - anon LOL this guy haha

[@PepperHoarder]

As a mala main, I’m glad she’s better the pistachio

[@maybesparky]

Basedddd

[@tennnanas70]

how snow hlobe cookie is lower than lemon zest?

[@AntoniJeddArvinPascua]

For Lemon Zest, is his sig arti the best or is Ryes arti the best? Ive seen some people say he benefits more from Rye

[@maybesparky]

He wants Rye's in modes with bosses (raids, craids) and Jalapenos in shorter bursty modes (like inf lab)! His own is a middle ground between the two, but not outperforming them anywhere.

[@sano1598]

how about the new cookies, ice mint cookie ? S or S+ ? thank you

[@maybesparky]

Looking like he's around A tier as of now.

[@masa9235]

If there was no S+, I would’ve agreed. But since there is, basil pesto should be in S.

[@Purple21axe]

Erm u saying that candy drop is a sub dps.(me in the corner using her as a main dps😂)

[@DaniTheSpriter256]

So, would it be worth it to build Peach over Crushed Pepper?

[@maybesparky]

Yes

[@fettucniee]

i think you like candy drop cookie

[@Addiestx]

YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME MY DARK CHOCO IS MAXED HES GOOD PLEASE WDYM HES AT B

[@maybesparky]

He's really only used sometimes in Inf Lab to clear waves, but he can still be used in other modes, just doesn't perform as well as other cookies.

[@Addiestx]

@maybesparky ☹️

[@DoughnutGigaChad]

He still not that bad, he can do a great chunk amount of damage for like bosses, or as he said infinite labyrinth, and for some other modes. And this is based on opinion, and everyone has their own opinion. So you can disagree or agree, so it's up to you.

[@xb.b2]

@@maybesparkyI swear I’ll hunt yunu for you

[@seichiisei9866]

Pretty much some I'd agree but honestly, looks like they were just put there base on thoughts. No criteria, or fine line in between the tiers LOL.

[@maybesparky]

@@seichiisei9866 I mean, thoughts are important, no? There is never going to be a set criteria or a fine line this early into the game, especially with how the modes and characters function. That's because the game actually has fairly decent balance compared to a game like CRK, where some cookies are just definitely better than others due to poor game state. Tiers took into account general usage, specific usage, how useful their niche is, how good they are at their niche, overall power, power in specific situations, etc, etc. I explained pretty much all of these reasons in the video for each cookie, but obviously it's not perfect. I also mentioned this in another comment, but tier lists are merely a visual aid. I spent 17 minutes explaining why they were where they are for a reason. Sorry if this comes off as combative LOL, just want to give an explanation.
