Prepare Like a Pro: How to Maximize the Awakened Hollyberry Cookie Update in Cookie Run: Kingdom

With the first part of the Eternal Sugar Cookie update wrapping up in Cookie Run: Kingdom, all eyes are on the next major content drop featuring the Awakened Hollyberry Cookie. Scheduled to arrive in early June, this update will not only introduce a new episode in Beast-Yeast (Episode 10) but also continue the evolving meta with what’s expected to be a game-breaking cookie.

If you’re planning to make the most out of the upcoming season—whether for PvP dominance or story progression—now is the perfect time to stockpile resources and prep your kingdom for Hollyberry’s powerful awakened form.

What Resources Should You Prepare To Build Awakened Hollyberry Cookie?

Awakened forms are stronger versions of existing Legendary Cookies and typically come with updated abilities and higher power ceilings. To max out Awakened Hollyberry Cookie’s potential, you’ll need a range of upgrade materials:

Skill Powder, Star Jellies, and Soulstones

  • Pristine Defense Skill Powders: You’ll need up to 1,510 to max out her skill to level 90.
  • Star Jellies: While her max level is 90, leveling Hollyberry to at least 30 allows you to use the Hall of Ancient Heroes, saving valuable resources.
  • Soulstones & Essences: Collect Hollyberry Cookie’s soulstones and rare/epic/legendary essences to ascend her efficiently. Check shops and events regularly.

Legendary Beascuit (Preferably Steelen Hard)

  • Best-in-slot: A Legendary Steelen Hard Beascuit will likely suit her awakened form.
  • Farm Beascuits via:
    • Juicy Stamina Jelly Challenge (until June 3)
    • Beast-Yeast Episode 9 and 10 (Normal/Hard mode)
    • Eternal Sugar Cookie Beast Raid Shop

Keep a non-elemental Steelen Beascuit as backup if you’re unsure about her elemental alignment post-awakening.

Magic Candy Materials (If Applicable)

While Hollyberry’s awakened form might not initially require Magic Candy, if it does in the future:

  • Purity Crystals
  • Blessed Toppings Crystals
  • Toppings Fragments (Defense type) Make sure to keep at least 1,000 of each in storage for a rapid start.

What Supplies Do You Need For Hollyberry Cookie’s Event?

The update will likely bring new missions, production-based events, and bonus gacha banners. Here’s what to have ready:

Juicy Stamina Jellies

  • Needed for Beast-Yeast Episode 10 and Monster Menace.
  • One episode = 360 Jellies minimum (12 per stage x 30 stages).
  • Best ways to farm:
    • Town Square idle gathering
    • Rainbow Shell Gallery

Production Materials

  • Pre-produce items like Jellybeans, Pickaxes, Axes, Candies, and Bear Jelly Meringues.
  • Useful for missions that require sending the Jellybear Train or fulfilling Wishing Tree requests.

Time Skips & Crystals

  • Time Skips let you fast-forward long production chains.
  • Crystals can be used for everything—especially for gacha pulls and refreshing stamina.
  • Aim to save 20,000+ Crystals in preparation.

Cookie Cutters

  • Special Cutters: Use for rate-up banners, especially if a new Epic (like Sugarfly Cookie) drops with this patch.
  • Fateful Cutters: Save for end-of-update banners featuring Hollyberry or Eternal Sugar.

Bonus: Decor Materials

Sometimes, event tasks ask for placing or upgrading decor items. Stock up on Aurora Pillars, Bricks, and Compasses to avoid any blockers.

What To Expect From Awakened Hollyberry Cookie?

While her final stats and skill rework remain under wraps, here’s what we can speculate:

  • Higher Base Defense & HP: Likely the tankiest cookie in the game.
  • Improved Damage Absorption: She could gain a damage-redirect or protective aura mechanic.
  • New Teamwide Buffs: Possibly adds defense penetration resistance or heal-over-time features.
  • PvP Impact: Expect her to become a dominant frontline choice in the Arena.

If the trend follows Pure Vanilla’s awakening, then Hollyberry is about to become the most reliable tank/support hybrid Cookie in CRK.

Pre-Update Final Checklist

Make sure you’re ready for launch day with this preparation checklist:

  • ✅ Upgrade Hollyberry Cookie’s Skill to Level 90
  • ✅ Raise her overall level to 30 or above
  • ✅ Promote and Ascend her as much as possible
  • ✅ Equip her with a Legendary Steelen Hard Beascuit
  • ✅ Save up 360 Juicy Stamina Jellies
  • ✅ Finish Episode 9 of Beast-Yeast
  • ✅ Max out your Eternal or Kingdom Pass
  • ✅ Rank high in PvP and PvE gamemodes for extra crystal rewards
  • ✅ Fill your Friends List to 50 for easier daily missions
  • ✅ Stock up on Special and Fateful Cookie Cutters
  • ✅ Hoard Crystals and Time Skips

Why This Matters

Awakened Hollyberry Cookie is set to become a top-tier unit—likely one of the strongest tank/support hybrid cookies in the game. Her awakened kit will probably make her a staple in both Arena and PvE, much like Awakened Pure Vanilla and Eternal Sugar.

Being proactive will ensure you’re not stuck behind resource walls or scrambling to gather supplies on update day. Whether you’re a competitive player or a casual kingdom builder, preparing early means you can dive straight into new content and make the most of Hollyberry’s power.
