At the time of writing, there are 39 Treasures in Cookie Run Kingdom, although this could change with future updates to the game.

We’ve ranked the Treasures according to these guidelines:

  • S Tier — Incredible Treasures that don’t have any downsides
  • A Tier — Useful Treasures that are worth looking out for
  • B Tier — Decent Treasures that may be somewhat niche or have a downside
  • C Tier — Middling Treasures that don’t offer much value
  • $ Tier — Treasures that specifically focus on earning Coins

If you do end up pulling a lower-tier Treasure from the Treasure Gacha, don’t worry—it’s possible to use any Treasure in this list effectively if you plan your party’s build well. They’re all useful in one way or another, especially if you pay attention to character types and cooldown timings.

Please note—we’ve referenced the base stats and abilities for all Treasures in this CRK tier list. You can upgrade Treasures to provide even more powerful effects as you progress in the game, so even a C Tier item can become useful if you invest coins into it.

If you manage to pick up any of these items while taking the Treasure Gacha for a spin in Cookie Run: Kingdom, hold onto them—they’re some of the best items in the game and can make running through the late-game levels a breeze.

Blind Healer’s Staff

Arguably one of the best healing items in the game, Blind Healer’s Staff is a Treasure Gacha Epic.

This Treasure heals the lowest-HP ally for 55 percent of the team’s cumulative attack stat every 0.5 seconds for five seconds in total. The target will change consistently, meaning it’s a solid way to top up your team during a tricky fight.

Disciple’s Magic Scroll

While Treasures that fall into the Epic and Special category may seem like the best pick, some of the Common and Rare Treasures can be game-changers. Disciple’s Magic Scroll is a Rare that comes from the Treasure Gacha and it’s simple yet effective.

This Treasure gives your party a 25 percent attack boost and 30 percent defense boost. It’s an undispellable passive and can make a big difference in Boss fights.

Insignia of the Indomitable Knights

This is a passive Epic that comes from the Guild Gacha instead of the Treasure Gacha, so make sure you’re hunting in the right place if you want to pick this item up.

The Insignia of the Indomitable Knights heals 20 percent of each Cookie’s maximum health each time an ally goes down in battle. When the last Cookie without protection takes fatal damage, it will instead be blocked and turned into a six-second invulnerability.

It’s essentially a cheat-death mechanic, which can make recovering in late-game battles a breeze.

Milk Tribe’s Frozen Torch

This Epic comes from the Treasure Gacha and revolves around Freeze damage.

When the Milk Tribe’s Frozen Torch is active, it deals AoE damage to enemies in range that’s equal to 15 percent of the team’s attack stat.

On top of this, it inflicts Freeze and Frost for a second and 16 seconds respectively, reducing enemy attack speed by five percent and increasing Freeze damage taken by 100 percent. A Frozen enemy takes damage equal to 15 percent of the team’s attack stat after they thaw, while Freeze-resistant enemies take a chunk of this damage as soon as the treasure comes into effect.

Essentially, it freezes enemies and they have a very bad time. It’s wicked fun and looks cool, too.

Old Pilgrim’s Scroll

Possibly the simplest Epic Treasure Gacha pick, the Old Pilgrim’s Scroll increases every ally Cookie’s attack stat by 30 percent.

Squishy Jelly Watch

Squishy Jelly Watch is a Common Treasure Gacha pick, yet it’s one of the best items in the game. It cuts ally’s cooldowns by 10 percent, which can go all the way up to 25 percent if you upgrade the item.

Sugar Swan’s Shining Feather

Looking for a cheat-death mechanic? Sugar Swan’s Shining Feather is a passive Epic from the Treasure Gacha that can help your Cookies live forever. Once per battle, anyway.

Tip:THINK ABOUT THE SETTING

Some Treasures are better for PvE than PvP and vice versa. If you’re hoping to pick up the best PvP Treasures for CRK, for example, start hunting for the Sugar Swan’s Shining Feather and the Vial of the Raging Dunes, as these are two essential PvP picks.

When an ally goes down in battle, this item will bring them back with 20 percent of their maximum HP. It’s well worth upgrading, as a maxed-out iteration restores 100 percent of an ally’s health.

Vial of Raging Dunes

This Epic Treasure Gacha pick is an undispellable passive. It applies the Vial of Raging Dunes buff to your party when active.

This buff increases their attack stat by 20 percent and crit resist stat by 15 percent. When an ally comes back from the dead, the buff stacks and AoE damage equal to 85 percent of your team’s attack stat hits in-range enemies five times, which lowers their attack stat by 22.5 percent for 10 seconds.

A Tier

This section of the tier list features some of the best Treasures in Cookie Run: Kingdom. They’re not quite as powerful as the S Tier Treasures (some of which are arguably broken) but they’re immensely useful, especially when you get into the later stages of the game.

Bookseller’s Monocle

This Epic can only be found via the Guild Gacha. It purifies allies and gets rid of all their debuffs while healing for 15 percent of their max HP.

Dream Conductor’s Whistle

This Epic passive comes from the Treasure Gacha. Firstly, it gives every Cookie on your team a flat 15 percent crit buff.

On top of this, it gives the Dream Whistle buff to the two Cookies with the highest attack stat. This gives them a 30 percent attack buff and 10 percent damage resistance buff. If a Dream Whistle Cookie goes down in battle, a 30 percent heal hits every Cookie.

Echo of the Hurricane’s Song

The Echo of the Hurricane’s Song Rare comes from the Treasure Gacha and is purely offensive. When used, it deals a big chunk of AoE damage to targets in range based on the highest attack stat in your party, even affecting Bosses and summons on the enemy team.

Explorer’s Monocle

This Epic is from the Treasure Gacha. When you activate it, it purifies your team, restores a quarter of their max HP, and provides a 20 percent defense and a 15 percent debuff resistance buff for 16 seconds.

The two buffs can stack twice, and the Treasure has a 14-second cooldown period, making it incredibly valuable.

Grim-Looking Electrifying Scythe

This passive Epic comes from the Treasure Gacha. It’s undispellable and boosts all Electricity-type Cookie team member’s crit by 40 percent. Niche, but effective.

Grim-Looking Scythe

This Rare passive is also from the Treasure Gacha and is a broader version of the item above. It simply provides a 10 percent crit buff for all allies.

Hollyberrian Royal Necklace

This Epic is a Treasure Gacha pick. When active, it provides a shield for the team and gives them curse protection for 6.5 seconds, tanking damage equal to 15 percent of their maximum HP and boosting their damage resistance stat by five percent for 6.5 seconds.

Interestingly, the HP shield capacity increases by three percent each time it’s used in that battle. Seeing as it has a 12-second cooldown, this is a valuable Treasure.

Ice-Cold Energy Drink

This seasonal Special Treasure comes from the Squirrel Shop’s Acorn Gacha during the summer months.

It gives the lowest-HP ally a 15 percent heal when activated, also providing the Energy Overflow effect for eight seconds which buffs max HP by 20 percent and makes them better at avoiding movement-impairing attacks, too.

Miraculous Natural Remedy

This Treasure Gacha Epic gets rid of debuffs from your two highest-attack Cookies, healing them for 10 percent of their max HP and providing a 10 percent attack buff for 15 seconds.

The Order’s Sacred Fork

This passive Epic comes from the Guild Gacha instead of the Treasure Gacha.

When this undispellable Epic is in use, it provides extra damage per attack for all of your allied Cookies, dealing even more damage than usual in regular battles and Boss fights.

Thunder God’s Paper Charm

Thunder God’s Paper Charm is a Treasure Gacha Epic that targets the nearest enemy when it’s used. With the right team, this can be a brutal PvP Treasure.

This enemy and the four closest enemies to it lose all their buffs, while an Electricity AoE attack equal to 50 percent of the team’s attack stat strikes the enemies. Shockingly good.

B Tier

The B Tier CRK Treasures aren’t bad or ineffective, but they’re either too niche to recommend for end-game levels or underwhelming when compared to other items in this list.

This is a Special Treasure that you can grab from the winter Squirrel Shop’s limited-time Acorn Gacha.

When active, this Treasure gives the lowest-HP Cookie on your team a buff called Snowball Magic for eight seconds, providing a 10 percent damage resistance and five percent crit resistance.

Bear Jelly’s Lollipop

This Rare comes from the Treasure Gacha. When active, it gives your highest-attack Cookie a 20 percent attack and crit boost for five seconds.

Cape of the Vanquisher

This is an Epic that comes from the Treasure Gacha. It’s passive, and when you have it equipped, it gives your team a 20 percent attack speed boost.

On top of this, it has Wind-type benefits for Cookies that fall into this category. It boosts their attack speed by 55 percent and damage resistance by 17.5 percent while providing a 10-second shield for 25 percent of their Max HP at the start of a battle.

It’s a powerful, undispellable passive, but it’s only worth it if you have Wind-types on your team. It’s powerful in a PvP setting, so if you’re running with Wind-types, consider using this Treasure.

Divine Honey Cream Crown

This Epic comes from the Treasure Gacha. It gives a buff called Divine Honey Cream Crown to your highest-attack Cookie, and when they use their skill, they get a single-use buff of 6 percent crit boost and 13.5 percent crit damage boost.

Elder Pilgrim’s Torch

The majority of the Epic Treasures from the Treasure Gacha focus on your team of Cookies, but the Elder Pilgrim’s Torch is a purely offensive pick.

When active, the Elder Pilgrim’s Torch sets fire to the floor under the nearest enemy group. This lasts five seconds and deals damage that’s equal to 50 percent of the team’s attack stat for each second. It also applies a 15 percent Fire-type damage weakness for 15 seconds.

Tip:think about damage weaknesses when team-building

Planning ahead is crucial in Cookie Run: Kingdom. If you have a Treasure that inflicts a Fire-type damage weakness (like the one above), find a Cookie that can help you deal that particular type of damage within the time frame.

This Treasure has a 20-second cooldown, making it one of the better B Tier picks.

Gatekeeper Ghost’s Horn

The Gatekeeper’s Ghost Horn comes from the Treasure Gacha. It’s a Common defensive that simply boosts your defense stat by 30 percent and can be a wickedly useful PvE Treasure, especially in the earlier stages of the game.

Librarian’s Enchanted Robes

This Treasure Gacha Epic boosts your two highest-attack Cookie’s attack speed stat by 45 percent. If they fall in battle or lose their stats for some reason, this buff hops to the next highest attack stat in the party.

Pilgrim’s Slingshot

The Pilgrim’s Slingshot is a Rare that comes from the Treasure Gacha. It targets the enemy that is furthest away when active, cutting their defense by 30 percent for five seconds.

Buffs shouldn’t be your main priority in CRK, but this Treasure utilizes them in an interesting way. It’s a Rare from the Treasure Gacha and can be quite fun.

When active, the Priestess Cookie’s Paper Charm locks onto the nearest enemy in the battle and gets rid of their buffs, stripping the nearest four enemies of their buffs, too. It also deals AoE damage equal to 15 percent of your team’s attack stat.

Seamstress’s Pin Cushion

This Epic passive is a unique Treasure Gacha find. It’s only really relevant if you’re running with a build that prioritizes summoning additional allies.

The Seamstess’s Pin Cushion boosts the attack stat of all summons by 30 percent, while also giving them a 10 percent lifespan boost.

Sleepyhead’s Jelly Watch

Sleepyhead’s Jelly Watch almost made it into the A Tier of this Cookie Run Kingdom tier list. It’s one of the best B Tiers by a mile, and with the right team, it can be a lifesaver.

It’s an Epic from the Treasure Gacha that decreases cooldown times by 15 percent for all allies and provides a one percent damage boost. These numbers go up dramatically when upgraded, so if you find it, make sure to tinker with it and invest some Coins.

Twinkling Starlight Crown

This Epic Treasure Gacha pick provides a buff called Magnificent Crown for the highest-attack Cookie on your team. This gives a 10 percent crit and 20 percent crit damage boost for 10 seconds when the targeted Cookie uses their skill.

C Tier

Durianeer’s Squeaky Flamingo Tube

This is an Epic Treasure Gacha item that is both passive and undispellable. It bumps the max HP of your two highest-HP Cookies by 35 percent. It’s a decent item but focuses on buffing already strong Cookies instead of supporting lower-level party members.

Festive Acorn Gift Box

You can only pick up the Festive Acorn Gift Box from the limited-time Acorn Gacha which pops up during the winter’s Squirrel Shop. It’s an active Treasure and classed as Special.

It will randomly provide one of the following buffs:

  • Turns two of the highest-attack enemies into Gingerbread for two seconds, preventing them from moving and attacking, then applying a five-second damage reduction
  • Heals all allies for 20 percent of their max HP
  • Gives the lowest-HP ally a 15 percent attack boost and 20 percent heal

These buffs are useful, but the unpredictable nature of this Treasure makes it unreliable.

Jelly Worm’s Sticky Goo

This Treasure is an Epic item you can get from the Treasure Gacha. It gives the lowest level ally a two second invulnerability.

Miraculous Ghost Ice Cream

This Rare comes from the Treasure Gacha and reduces the armor of three nearby enemies by 10 percent for three seconds.

Sacred Pomegranate Branch

Sacred Pomegranate Branch is an Epic that comes from the Treasure Gacha and it shields all allies (not including summons) for 13 seconds, soaking up damage equal to 55 percent of the target’s max HP.

$ Tier

This tier focuses on the two Treasures that provide Coins in Cookie Run: Kingdom. These Treasures don’t offer any battle perks, but they can be useful during the earlier stages of the game for farming money so you can complete upgrades.

Cheesebird’s Coin Purse

This Common Treasure provides a 20 percent chance to get extra Coins when you defeat an enemy in battle. You can get it from the Treasure Gacha.

Ginkgoblin’s Trophy Safe

Ginkgoblin’s Trophy Safe is a Common Treasure Gacha item that provides a Coin Magnet aura, giving you five percent more Coins at the end of a battle.

Treasures are items you can obtain for completing World Stages and similar challenges in Cookie Run: Kingdom. Some of them provide passive boosts while you will need to use others at the correct moment during a battle for the best results.

There are two key ways you’ll come across Treasure in CRK. You can obtain your first Treasure by getting past Stage 2-17 in the World Stages section of the game, which is simple enough if you remember to level up your party members and promote them where necessary.

You can also pick up Treasures via the Treasure Gacha. This is random and somewhat expensive, costing one Treasure Ticket or 200 Crystals. There’s also a Guild Gacha and a seasonal Gacha that pops up in time with the calendar.

To stay ahead of the competition and keep your Cookie pals in top condition, make sure to check out the best Cookie Toppings for popular characters like Moonlight Cookie or Rockstar Cookie. The right Cookie Toppings can help to take a character from good to great in a game like this.
