■ [DRAGON] PITAYA DRAGON COOKIE
– Pitaya Dragon Cookie is the first Cookie of the DRAGON rarity; they are a Charge Cookie who wields the skill “Draconic Bladestorm.”
– Skill Description: Pitaya Dragon Cookie fires off two waves of draconic blade energy, dealing damage and reducing the amount of Healing the targets receive. After this, the Cookie assumes their dragon form and spews flaming breath to deal damage ignoring DMG Resist and reducing the targets’ ATK. Whenever Pitaya Dragon Cookie uses their skill, they gain a stack of Pitaya Fury that will enhance the skill upon reaching the maximum stacks. When using the enhanced skill, Pitaya Dragon Cookie’s flaming breath will deal damage ignoring DMG Resist and decrease the target’s resistance to Fire-type DMG. In their dragon form, the Cookie will gain increased CRIT% and remove all debuffs applied to themselves. As a Dragon Cookie, Pitaya Dragon Cookie will receive less damage from other Dragon Cookies and have their DMG Resist increased in proportion to their ATK enhanced with Toppings. While Pitaya Dragon Cookie is using their skill, they will briefly become resistant to interrupting effects.
– With the addition of the new rarity level, the team setup limits of the Kingdom Arena have also been updated: only three Ancient/Legendary/Dragon Cookies can be in the team at the same time.
■ [EPIC] ROYAL MARGARINE COOKIE
– Royal Margarine Cookie is an ambush Cookie who wields the skill “Buttercream Blast.”
– Skill Description: Royal Margarine Cookie soars on Buttercream’s back and fires Buttercream Blasts at the 3 enemies with the highest ATK thrice. Buttercream Blasts deal damage, Poison the targets, and apply a DEF-decreasing debuff. Buttercream then rushes towards the enemies, dealing damage and additional damage in proportion to the number of periodic damage effects the targets’ have applied. Buttercream Blasts target boss monsters first. While Royal Margarine Cookie is using his skill, he will briefly become resistant to interrupting effects.
