Master mode in Cookie Run: Kingdom is a game mode in World Exploration. While dark mode is similar to normal Story mode, Master Mode contains different enemies while still having the same map as Dark and Story Mode. These stages are difficult to go through because they have many limitations and debuffs that can lead to early erasing of your team if you do not use the correct cookies. For example, World 1 limits your cookies to level 50 (if you have a higher level, the game would) level down your cookie for the duration of the stage), and cancels the effects of your Guild Buffs, Bonds and Sugar Gnome Laboratory upgrade.

Master Mode gives you rewards for clearing a level, and this can range from Sugar Crystals, Soul Essence, Topping Pieces, XP Jelly, and soul cores. Sugar Crystals and Soul Essence are hard to get into the game, so clearing these phases is good to stock up over time.

Best cookies to use for Master mode

Usually you use a Summoners Comp (Cotton Cookie, Oyster Cookie, Pumpkin Pie Cookie, Eclair Cookie, and Crispy Chip Cookie) to step through the stages in Master mode. Summoners are a good solution for the majority of these enemies. While these enemies have a high attack, it’s only close range so they won’t hurt you if you’ve summoned creatures to keep them at bay.

Use of cotton and oyster Quick chocolate toppings (Oyster needs 11.2 cooldowns for 3 soldiers and 24.3 cooldowns for 4 soldiers), and Pumpkin Pie uses whole almonds (she has one of the most vulnerable HP and DEF stats in the game, so you want her to survive so she can continue to use her skills).

Eclair uses Searing Raspberry (since he is the only cookie that can attack enemies from a long distance, and you want to prioritize a higher attack), and Crispy Chip can use both Searing raspberry, juicy apple jelly or whole almonds. Other cookies you can use are:

  • Sea Fairy Cookie
  • Frost Queen Cookie
  • Espresso biscuit (Sea Fairy, Frost Queen and Espresso are great at slowing down enemies to get to your team)
  • blueberry cookie (He’s a good alternative to Crunchy Chip if you feel Crunchy Chip dies too early in the stages)
  • Dark Cocoa Biscuit (for breaking down the enemy’s HP Shields)
  • pomegranate cookie (provides a 30% ATK boost, useful for the later stages of Master mode)
  • Fund Cookie (protects your highest attacker)

Stages to Edit Soulcores

While you can get Soulstones from Mileage shop, Soulcores are another matter. Because you can only get them from: Arena Medal ShopGuild Shop, and Rainbow Shell Gallery by chance (these stores only offer a small number of soulcores and the cookie is randomized with each reset), it’s harder to get soulcores into play consistently than soulstones.

Soul cores are used for Ascended cookies and cookies that are Ascended can be further promoted in 5-A. To have a cookie on 5-A, it takes a total of 200 Soulcores. If a cookie you want to upgrade is in Master Mode, the best way to make that cookie stronger is to grow Soulcores in Master Mode.

There are 40 different Soul cores for cookies that you can get through Master mode. All of these soul cores are of epic rarity. Some of the above stages are in bold. These are the Soul core stages for Meta Cookies, so if you want to edit soul cores, these are the stages to focus on.
