Cookie Run Kingdom: Silent Salt Cookie Build Guide

The mysterious Silent Salt Cookie has finally debuted in Cookie Run: Kingdom with one of the most intense story-based updates yet. White Lily’s awakening may be just around the corner, but players likely won’t be seeing Silent Salt leave the standard Kingdom arena teams anytime soon.

If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on this powerhouse of a character already, then you’ll need to improve the correct stats to make sure your Silent Salt Cookie is as deadly as possible. Here’s the best way to build CRK‘s new arena overlord.

Resonant Chocolates Allow Him To Repeatedly Silence His Opponents

When Silent Salt Cookie uses his skill “End of Silence,” he summons his steed, Nox Black Salt, and uses the power of the eclipse to put enemies into “Silence Eternal,” which deals damage and prevents them from using their abilities for a few seconds.

He then charges forward on Nox Black Salt, dealing high damage to all opponents. At the start of battle, he applies “Fury of the Catacombs” to the enemy with the highest attack stat, unless that character is a safeguarded cookie such as Marshmallow Bunny Cookie.

Fury stacks over time, eventually applying “Punishment” to the target, which deals further damage and allows Silent Salt to bypass some of their damage resistance. This transfers to the next high-ATK enemy upon defeat.

When his team’s HP drops below 70%, the 7 highest-ATK enemies are inflicted with Wrath of the Catacomb, instantly triggering “Silent Demise,” which makes the effects of Punishment even greater.

Silent Salt Cookie’s Forsaken Freedom grants immunity to all cooldown-impairing effects. If affected by cooldown-increasing or pausing effects, he gains an HP Shield, damage resistance, and Cooldown Recovery buffs, making him highly resilient in prolonged battles.

I’ve found that the toppings that seem to work the best for Silent Salt Cookie are chocolates. This lowers his cooldown so that he can provide a quick, devastating silence to his enemies, which gives his allies a massive head start compared to when he has raspberry toppings that simply increase his raw power.

This is even more apparent in a team of capable damage-dealers like Shadow Milk Cookie, since you can get multiple cookies to use their abilities before the enemy team even has a chance to properly attack. I’ve had some incredible luck with a team consisting of Silent Salt, Shadow Milk, Eternal Sugar, and Doughael.

You should try your best to apply resonant Silent toppings for the best results, alongside a regular epic swift chocolate topping tart.

You Have A Larger Choice Than Usual With His Dual Element

As an ambush cookie like Choco Drizzle Cookie, Silent Salt Cookie can be improved by applying a legendary crispy beascuit. He is the first beast cookie to have a dual element, meaning he can benefit from either a steelen or dark beascuit.

Both of these are considerable sources of damage for Silent Salt Cookie, so either one is a good choice. You can obtain them both from past Beast-Yeast episodes, since he has the dark element in common with Dark Cacao, and the steel element in common with Hollyberry Cookie.

Silent Salt is a major damage dealer, so I used his beascuit to build up as much offensive power as possible. Some good stats to build are Attack, Elemental Attack, Damage Resistance Bypass, or Cooldown if you opt for a different topping setup.

This allows him to gain the cooldown bonuses of a full topping set to narrow down his base timer of 14 seconds and continuously silence his enemies, but still makes the most of his insane strength in Cookie Run: Kingdom.
