Red Velvet Cookie is an Epic Charge Cookie with a Skill as powerful as his personality. Lore-wise, Red Velvet is responsible for the existence of the Tower of Sweet Chaos and is the sole reason why the Cake Monsters exist. Despite his antagonistic role, he has shown to genuinely care about the well-being of his Cake Monsters.

Skill specs:

  • Cooldown: 20 secondsSingle hit DMG: 835 percent (+10 percent DMG for every level up, +10.1 percent DMG for level 6 and level 14) Stun duration: five seconds

Despite being positioned at the front, Red Velvet Cookie is best described as a nuker, with an extremely high single hit DMG multiplier. He plays a similar role to Dark Choco Cookie. However, Red Velvet’s stun debuff may prove to be useful for halting the movement of enemies, while also providing massive DPS.

Red Velvet Cookie’s extremely long cooldown makes him a candidate for cooldown-reducing Toppings and bonus stats. However, it’s also important to take his position in the frontlines into consideration, as this role typically requires some DMG resist for survivability.

There are two ways to build Red Velvet Cookie based on your team composition:

  • Full Swift Chocolate build—if you have a powerful healer in your team and feel that Red Velvet can survive without primary DMG resist Toppings, it’s highly recommended to use a full Swift Chocolate build to reduce his cooldown. But still opt for DMG resist bonus stats.Full Solid Almond Build—if you find that Red Velvet is dying first in the Arena or isn’t surviving long enough in drawn-out battles, you may want to equip a full Solid Almond build to amp up his DMG resist. However, you still need to aim for cooldown reduction bonus stats to address his long Skill cooldown.

Don’t forget to always equip the Squishy Jelly Watch for cooldown reduction and consider adding in DPS-enhancing Treasures.
