General Tips[]
- The Red Velvet Dragon's passive, Red Dragon's Scales, has the potential to quickly eliminate Cookies with high-damage skills such as Arrow of Resolution and Consul's Orders. This passive does not apply to skills that apply indirect damage, such as Sweet Scheme, or to skills that provide intangibility such as Shark Splash.
- DEF Down debuffs provided by Sword of Darkness, Black Shark Torpedo, Sugarcloud Express and Pilgrim's Slingshot can be timed with other skills to deal great damage. When timed correctly, Sugarcloud Express can reduce the Red Velvet Dragon's DEF by 87.5%, dealing a greater amount of damage.
- Weakness debuffs provided by Book of History, Sentinel's Strike, or Tour Guide Expert similarly increase the damage taken by the boss, at potentially higher values too. While not as immediate in effectiveness as burst damage due to requiring time to build up, they can result in gradual damage to dealing more damage over time, provided a team can survive for the entire battle.
- Book of History can simultaneously target both Red Velvet Wraiths and the Red Velvet Dragon to inflict a useful Weakness debuff. Defeating the Wraiths quickly after this will provide an HP shield to protect against the Red Velvet Meteorites cast soon after.
- Extra Cream, Cocoa Is Love and ARMY's Wishes can provide team-wide Stun Immunity against the majority of the Red Velvet Dragon's attacks. Sugarcloud Express and Arcane Charm can also provide Stun Resistance to reduce the duration of Stun.
- Skills that deal heavy damage to a single target, such as Vampirism and Frost Shards, are much more effective than skills that focus on damaging crowds such as Soaring Compassion and Duskgloom's Sovereign.
- Summoned allies from skills such as Prune Juice Potion and Pompon, help! can help tank damage from the Red Velvet Dragon and Red Velvet Wraiths.
- Might of House Oyster and Licorice Servants can also provide useful CRIT% Up and DEF Up buffs, respectively.
- Black Shark Torpedo is able to deal overwhelming damage to the Red Velvet Dragon, however, This skill will kill Captain Caviar Cookie in the first skill rotation because of the high amounts of burst damage, even if the player runs full Almond Toppings. On the other hand, the DEF Down is is really not worth it, even if it is really high, because it only lasts for 8.0 sec.
Team Compositions[]
Poison
Classic
This team relies on the Poison inflicted by both Prune Juice Cookie and Royal Margarine Cookie as its main sources of damage, with Here, There, Everywhere! providing substantial DEF Down to maximize this damage further. Their toppings should be chosen such that Dream Conductor's Whistle grants Prune Juice Cookie one of its buffs. The remaining two Cookies are flexible depending on who the player finds most effective:
- Rebel Cookie can run toppings that mix cooldown with DMG Resist to both stay alive and constantly apply debuffs, trading more DMG Resist for cooldown the bulkier he becomes through promotions.
- Rockstar Cookie provides continuous healing as well as CRIT% Up with Legend of Rock, but requires a lot of investment to keep both himself and the rest of the team alive.
- Milky Way Cookie or Space Doughnut are alternative sources of high DEF Down that can also frontline for the team, but they won't increase elemental DMG dealt like Rebel Cookie can.
- Prune Juice Cookie should have the Dream Whistle buff on him to survive Dragon Breath, since the damage dealt to the boss through his debuffs increases exponentially the longer he stays around. This can be tricky due to his middling ATK stat however, and may require other high-ATK Cookies to trade ATK for CRIT% in their toppings instead if they can.
- Black Raisin Cookie, Mango Cookie, and Eclair Cookie are each able to inflict Weakness via Sentinel's Strike, Tour Guide Expert, and Book of History respectively. Black Raisin Cookie applies a small amount of Amplified Debuffs to extend the duration of all debuffs on the boss, while Mango Cookie's HP Shields grant him greater survivability.
- Eclair Cookie, and Mango Cookie inflict direct damage rather than indirect damage, leaving them particularly vulnerable to Red Dragon's Scales and requiring great amounts of Damage Resist to survive the casting of their skills. Black Raisin Cookie mostly circumvents this requirement by being intangible when using her skill.
- Matcha Cookie can be good with Prune Juice Cookie and Royal Margarine Cookie, dealing and increasing the periodic damage duration of Poison attacks. She is a good replacement for Black Raisin Cookie, being easier to build and upgrade, even if the damage dealt is decreased.
- Snapdragon Cookie can heal the entire team regardless of the boss's skills due to being safeguarded, granting both ATK Up to boost damage and DMG Down to boost survivability. They're a good substitute if Rockstar Cookie can't keep himself alive during the run.
- Sherbet Cookie is an alternative strategy that applies stacks of Frost via Frost Shards to heavily decrease the Red Velvet Dragon's ATK SPD, delaying its skills long enough for a team composition to focus entirely on damage instead of survival. However, he need to run almost entirely DMG Resist toppings in order to use his skill more than once, as he has a high risk of knocking himself out due to Red Dragon's Scales.
This team was primarily used prior to the Guild Battle revamp and will only be effective on low levels of the dragon.
This team relies on stacking multiple debuffs in order to maximize damage. Sword of Darkness and Pilgrim's Slingshot can both apply stacks of DEF Down, Book of History inflicts Weakness, and Sweet Scheme amplifies the effect of all debuffs so that Vampire Cookie can deal even heavier damage with Vampirism. Cotton Cookie is considered the most effective healer for this team, as the sheep summoned by A Warm Light can also inflict damage, though she can be swapped for a different healer depending on who the player finds most effective. If the player is missing Affogato Cookie, he can be substituted for another damage-dealing Cookie such as Sorbet Shark Cookie.
