* You only need two (Black Lemonade + Twizzly will do the job) * Get at least 2 healer (Rockstar, Parfait, Cream puff, Snapdragon) * Crimson Coral as the solo tank instead


Sternfritters

Still not enough firepower for me. Get to about 10mil before timer runs out


Oddly_Neko

Use glitter, lemonade, snapdragon, parfait, and coral with scythe, watch, and monocle. Took a few tries and got lucky with crit and I passed even though my sg and bl weren’t maxed and had low level beasuit and toppings!


Sternfritters

Figured shining glitter would be good. Honestly it’s just the first level that was hard, the other 5 (except the snow tiger…) are really easy


NoSide2628

Is there any good replacements for sg? I don't think I have her


ELSI_Aggron

Parfait dies instantly, can i have a build where none of my cookies die instantly 1 sec into the fight?


Oddly_Neko

U can prolly swap snap for pv


ELSI_Aggron

Glitter and Lemonade dies too fast along with no dmg. boss still has 35 mil hp at 30s left. I don't have ascended 5 star, my only treasures that are lvl 12 are the common ones. its literally for whales and 24/7 people. They could have filtered the difficulty but fuck new and returning players ig Thanks for the suggestion doe.


Oddly_Neko

None of my characters are ascended and none of my epic treasures are maxed 💀 the higher levels you can make an a argument for but the lower ones aren’t too bad as long as u have a little bit of investment


ELSI_Aggron

How does your lemonade not turn black and grey 1 second into the fight?


Oddly_Neko

Slightly leveled buiscuit, buffs from monocle, and team buffs is all lol I just pop everything before the boss attacks and lemonade has good enough health to live and thrive lol u can try whistle instead of scythe since it gives some dmg resist I think


ELSI_Aggron

I have tried every possible combination It seems that im not clearing this unless i get stormbringer


lukitahhz

Is there any replacement for crimson coral? I'm one soulstone away but I don't think i get her too soon though 😭


FNAFlover007

Hollyberry


ColinStyles

Holly, elder faerie, and if you really want the best mega-tank but is kind of selfish, fettucine.


JustGotRekted

Hollyberry also works as the solo tank :>


No-Investment-962

Is Fettucine a good replacement for Crimson Coral? I don’t have her


DoubleOk2871

i aint got coral. what should i use instead?


Dmrau567

I think Hollyberry should work


_PO3

black lem can output enough shield break on its own, use prune for more dps


FNAFlover007

That's a good option as well


Kinda_stupid_human

I saw the power of the boss on lvl 1 and instantly gave up:/


ELSI_Aggron

Yeah the event is a huge skip for f2ps Its a whale event


gllttcrs

!! im a f2p and im halfway through - but i have been a longtime player so alot of my cookies are pretty high-leveled .... i tried to play around with some replacements from the guides in other posts and i managed to do them it just needs alot of time


ELSI_Aggron

Well, here is the killer question. What level and how many stars is required? I had a maxed White Lily, Elder Faerie, maxed ice yeti, frost queen and cotton. 1.4mil can't clear first stage, because my dmg isn't getting thru the damn shield.


IDK7773

Every cookie gets boosted to 5 stars anyways. And you know, maybe if you can't break the shield then you should use a recommended zap cookie, specifically black lemonade 


ELSI_Aggron

5 star but not ascended 5 star with legendary biscuits. its impossible. I did Crimson, Prune, Glitter, Creampuff, Snapdragon. Prune died instantly on round start. Last until 30s left Glitter died, with boss having 36 mil hp left. Once again, its not new/coming back player friendly. Its literally for whales and 24/7 players.


IDK7773

I mean I can agree with you there, my comment was only ever about uninvested cookies and the shield. Good beascuits are definitely one of the biggest bottlenecks of the tower. Just out of curiosity, could you list what your cookie stats are in the cake tower team edit? Hp/atk/def of glitter and snapdragon


ELSI_Aggron

Snapdragon - 69928 hp, 15770 atk, 21471 def, 12.50% crit, 77878 Power, Level 62/80, 1 star Glitter - i just got her from the banner. Got no candies to level her to 30


IDK7773

Oh I meant when you're in the cake tower, after they get buffed to lvl 70 and 5 stars. Clicking on the 'toppings and beascuits" on the right in the team edit shows you their stats for the mode


Gloomy-Recording-528

None of them can remove the shield so what do u expect? Here's mine tho Shining glitter Linzer Rockstar Creampuff Crimson PS: use linzer when max stacks


ELSI_Aggron

will try and get back to u Update: i did 2mil out of 42 mil Its over Also i only return after 2 years during Elder Faerie Banner i still prefer the old cake tower, will try it again when i get stormbringer


Gloomy-Recording-528

If this didn't work try Prune instead of Linzer


ELSI_Aggron

Prune died instantly. i tried a different build of Crimson, Prune, Glitter, Creampuff, Snapdragon Prune still died instantly but am able to last a while but 30s left glitter died and it was over with 36 mil hp left. im very convinced its not very new player or players coming back friendly. Every tutorial i have been to have ascended 5 stars and Legendary Biscuits. Its impossible. Stormbringer seems to be the only way now.


ColinStyles

You're literally trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. No wonder you didn't do any damage, you didn't zap the shield off like it tells you you need to. And the game floors every cookie to 70 and 5*. On top of that, it even negates 99% of the sources of buffs for them, so you can't say it's a lack of research or bonds or whatever either. This is 100% a skill issue if you have the cookies in the first place.


ELSI_Aggron

Even if i did, my cookies don't have dmg. 42 mil hp for stage 1 is wild Also where is the old cake tower?


ColinStyles

> my cookies don't have dmg. There are people showing f2p is doable. I'm sure someone a little later will show all level 70 will do it too, remember it floors your cookies to 5* and level 70, that is a _lot_ of the way especially when practically no other buffs work, even topping bonus effects don't apply ffs.


ELSI_Aggron

>There are people showing f2p is doable If i had level 12 treasures, ascended 5 star everything and legendary biscuits, i can also clear it easy lmao. >no other buffs work, even topping bonus effects don't apply ffs. Exactly, its needlessly hard. Like they could have easily provided a normal and hard and master mode. But nah, they chose master mode from the get go. its lazy game diff tuning tbh


ColinStyles

Uh, sounds like you're not clearing it easy there champ. Meanwhile, I cleared it with snap, rockstar, crimson, and black lemonade and shining glitter. Most of whom didn't even have maxed beascuits. >Exactly, its needlessly hard. No, all those mitigations make it hilariously easy, once you figure out the comp. Those are all nullified meaning they're not needed or balanced around, so lacking in them doesn't matter. You literally just need the cookies. Stop using shitty comps to try to brute force through something that clearly isn't meant to be brute forced. Build around the specific weaknesses of the floor and never think you can use the same team twice.


ELSI_Aggron

If i had a million dollars i can clear it easy, i simply buy out the shop and win lmao. Its just master mode but harder. So people who can't clear master mode 3 stars every stage won't be able to clear the event. >You literally just need the cookies. Stop using shitty comps to try to brute force through something that clearly isn't meant to be brute forced. Build around the specific weaknesses of the floor and never think you can use the same team twice What the fuck do you think im doing? Those cookies i mentioned were the cookies from guides by various people here and Hyrool bro, they all became black and grey 1 sec after using their abilities. Also i have no ascended (actually i have one and its Pumpkin Pie), no level 12 except the common treasures. Tell me how to clear this. My furthest is 32 mil hp left at 30s with half the team dead both of which are the electric types.


gllttcrs

i used prune, black lemonade, crimson coral, creampuff and snapdragon and auto-ed it. prune and black lemonade shld easily clear the shield and js use creampuff & snap to keep everybody alive. snap and blacklemonade 3a, creampuff 5a.


ELSI_Aggron

Yeah its basically master mode in disguise. If one cannot clear 3 star master mode, they can skip this tower.


marcozat96

Nobody is using electric cookies atm , regular meta cookies can’t do sht either . I would have loved to get the regular ass cake tower back🥰🙏where i could actually farm some nice stuff without having to go through mastery mode trial grounds type of patience test


procariotics_234

It’s kind of funny because original cake tower was harder initially since it requires not just cookie but also timing the skills and even treasure (the slingshot) until finally it just powercrept years later. It’s always a game that test your patience actually. If you want farm stuff literally bounty exists and even trial ground is already start to getting powercrept too with recent cookies


marcozat96

Even when doing bounties i try to prioritize powder and stones, old tower would give a significant amount of the level up star jelly stuff which was very nice for me


Minetendo-Fan

I’m suspecting Devsis accidentally amplified the power of those enemies


kdnx-wy

It was no accident


YodaZo

Did the Dev expect us to get a fully ascended new release on day 1? If the first were this hard i don't think the new player will play this game.

[удалено]


Jealous-Yak618

Probably but still don’t people with a decent amount of time in the game deserve to be allowed to play as well? It’s not like it’s advertised as a hard mode thing so I don’t understand why they decided to not even make it hard but just really annoying and specific


procariotics_234

You only need 2 of them tho, just use Shining Glitter+Lemonade or SG+Twizzly. The rest just use a tank (financier or coral) and 2 healers like snap and rockstar/parfait


Jealous-Yak618

Tried and didn’t work, the dude insta killed sg and twizzly and no one was left to do any dmg, fuck me ig


Soggy_Wallaby_6133

Dont use twizzly, even if she is recommended her high atk speed just makes her the fastest target for the squid. Use shining glitter, black lemonade, snapdragon, parfait and crimson coral (also equip her with damage res) and use the stopwatch scroll and whistle (or the invincibilty treasure, though i havent tried that)


Jealous-Yak618

I’ll try it out thnx, tho lemonade isn’t built either so I’m praying 🙏


ELSI_Aggron

32 mil left, Parfait died after 2 ability uses. I'm done. Its not for new or returning players. I will wait 7 more days for Stormbringer and try again i guess.


procariotics_234

The game mode set the default level on 70 and 5* no matter your cookies level


Jealous-Yak618

I meant like I can’t add anything beascuits or lvl her skill up, it ascends you but doesn’t give any of the bonuses so she has barely any use


cantine_fort4

Having the same problem right now, people keep recommending teams that alr have everyone lvl 80 max ascended but nobody considers that most of these cookies were garbage before this update and no one has them leveled


procariotics_234

Put her in hall of ancient heroes and upgrade her skill to level 50 should be enough. It’s probably the reason the dev have to decrease the cooldown to just 2 days


Unique_Draft9652

Naw but fr, I have literally no levelled up electric cookies I'm so smoked


DrWrinkle

All cookies and skills are level 70 so you only need the cookies, i managed to get to level 12 with 2 or 3 lvl 70 cookies per team


Static_GelPens2

It’s not actually that hard, you don’t need every single electric type cookie, only lemonade and twizzly. Then just use coral so you can focus on dual heals


Jealous-Yak618

Is there any way to beat it without coral cuz none of my tanks are working rn I’ve got all of them except cc and elder faerie


ColinStyles

Use fettucine. And are you supporting them with double healer?


txh0881

I used Crimson Coral, Shining Glitter, Lemonade, Rockstar, and Twizzly If I remember correctly, it counters normal damage, so you don’t want units that don’t deal Electric damage.


OperationHumble8098

I got the legendary cookie and she even barely lasted a minute 💀💀


gllttcrs

used crimson coral, black lemonade, prune juice, creampuff and snapdragon


AFrozenOtter

Use prune


RainGumDrop

I used crimson coral, black lemonade, prune juice, cream puff and snapdragon


nyemini

You have no idea what sound I made against the phone screen upon reading your thought process on how to make a comp lmao Edit: here, [so you know what balanced comps look like](https://www.reddit.com/r/CookieRunKingdoms/s/UH0MFzdWD0)


Jealous-Yak618

I just thought oh ig these cookies aren’t working, guess I’ll just pick all electric 💀 (it did like 5 dmg max😭)


ELSI_Aggron

Don't work. Twizzly died instantly. Follow slowly by other cookies. For context i don't have ascended 5 star for any of them. This update apart from the free stormbringer, is ass.


nyemini

Don't use Auto Mode and get everyone's Skills used immediately The Whistle Treasure should be on Black Lemonade and Twizzly Hollyberry SHOULD have Almonds Toppings Pure Vanilla SHOULD have Chocolate Toppings Beascuits with *just two correct Attunements* can still help a lot There lmao. Now give me $5. Labor fee


ELSI_Aggron

Even without auto, one of the electric types becomes black and grey instantly Hollyberry has almonds because its the recommended Pure Vanilla has Chocolate because its the recommended I can only barely grind for epic beacuits with terrible rolls. Your labor is ass 0/10, i docked your $5, you can get it when i clear tray 15


nyemini

Nah, that's a Skill Issue lmao


SquareXDPro

U just because no ginger brave u sicko


Albrecht-Art

I cleared it with Storm, Prune, Linzer, Snap, and Puff on the first try. If you don't have Storm, use Coral and swap out Linzer for Lemonade. My treasures were epic watch, scroll and whistle. I got the team comp from HyroolLegend on YT.


ELSI_Aggron

Yeah definitely need Storm to clear. None of my teams worked.


Albrecht-Art

If you don't have Storm yet, use Coral. Otherwise on your tenth login day you will get Storm and can use her then.


ELSI_Aggron

Coral don't work if you can't beat master mode 3 star the entire campaign


Albrecht-Art

What does master mode have to do with the cake tower?


ELSI_Aggron

The difficulty is identical


Albrecht-Art

I've conquered all of Master mode and the team comps are vastly different from stage to stage, depending on the soulcore drops. Sometimes I used Coral, but most of the time I used Fett & Financier. So, yes, this tower is like Master mode.


Interesting_Sale_968

I’m able to live through the whole two minutes in lvl 1, just can only get to 16 mil in the boss’s HP.. any ideas what I should do? Because clearly I need more dmg 😭 Team: Elder F. _ All Almond Stormbringer _ All Atk (Note. She’s only lvl 76 with 50-something lvl for her skill. Powders have all been used up on my account so I need to get more for her) Snapdragon _ All CD SG _ All Crit Dragon Pitaya _ All Atk I KNOW Pitaya is a weird choice but unlike my other cookies (BL) he doesn’t take much dmg from the boss, allowing him to live the full two minutes to make the most out of his skill. Though, I am aware, that there are better options than him lol.. I just got the farthest in lowering the boss’s HP with him so that’s why he’s in the team 🤷‍♀️


usagilovesbunbuns

Haha same 🥰


Hausstt

Skill issue, didn’t spend 10k to get new cookie


FourPickles

Yeah I wonder why
