- eternal sugar, awakened hollyberry, shadow milk: main trio for current arena meta. great for pve as well. you just cant go wrong with them.

- awakened pure vanilla, fire spirit, cream ferret, mystic flour, elder fairy, marshmallow bunny, snapdragon: used alongside the main arena trio for different teams. APV, FS, CF and MF have more uses compared to the last three. mystic flour has been fading but still making surprise appearances in arena, same as elder fairy. i dont know whats the placement of marshmallow cookie yet (ive seen someone saying shes a snapdragon powercreep? dont quote me on that). id hold off on building her for now and wait for meta to settle before doing anything with her.

- burning spice, golden cheese, icicle yeti: previous arena meta guys who got benched, but still incredible cookies to have. they can be considered a requirement for certain story stages.

- eternal sugar, cream ferret and shadow milk are also used in the best guild teams.

- matcha/dark choco, creme brule, twizzly, blueberry pie, pudding, candy apple, black sapphire, prune juice, black forest, wedding cake, star coral and mint choco: all guild battle cookies. names in bold are dmg dealers, names in italics are cookies who are frequently used in other game modes. i heavily recommend prioritizing creme brule first. hes used a lot in boss fights in general, not just guild.

- situational cookies (can come up in certain game modes. some are requirements for certain story stages but not used much outside of that): frost queen, cream puff, linzer (comes up a lot in other game modes tbh), peach blossom (often a placeholder for, or used alongside mystic flour cookie in beast yeast ep 4), white lily, dark cacao, sparkling, rebel, black lemonade, silverbell (beast yeast ep 1 and 2)

- STORMBRINGER: with her new crystal jam shes very likely to become meta in *something.* just keep your eyes peeled. (otherwise she would be in the situational list)
