The Garden of Sweet Delights update in Cookie Run: Kingdom not only introduced Eternal Sugar Cookie but also unveiled a brand-new limited-time event: Boss Rush. Unlike traditional PvE content, Boss Rush delivers high-stakes boss battles that challenge your cookie composition strategy more than ever before.
With the addition of Synergy Ideas, building a powerful team isn’t just about maximizing ATK. Now, strategic squad building and role synergy can unlock powerful buffs that enhance your cookies far more than raw stats alone.
How to Activate Synergy Idea Buffs
Before entering a boss fight in Boss Rush, you’ll notice a new Synergy Ideas button on the squad editing page. Clicking on this reveals a list of conditional buffs that can be activated by meeting specific composition requirements.
Each buff is tied to certain roles. For example, to activate a specific synergy, you may need one Ambush, one Healing, and two Bomber cookies. The more requirements you fulfill, the more synergy buffs you can stack.
Tips:
- You can activate multiple buffs simultaneously.
- Use higher-rarity cookies like Legendary, Ancient, Beast, or Super Epic for more powerful effects.
- Make use of the Practice feature before entering the real battle to get a feel for your damage potential and boss mechanics.
