CRK Resonant Toppings — All 40 Sets and Who Can Use Them
A Resonant Topping is not a prettier Searing Raspberry. It draws its bonus effects from a six-stat pool with higher floors instead of the ten-stat pool a normal Epic Topping uses — and the worst ATK roll it can give you is the average roll on a normal one.
CRK Bonds Guide — All 30 Bonds and Which to Max First
A Bond pays out on its weakest member. That one rule turns 30 story vignettes into a ranked shopping list — and 25 of the 30 are payable entirely in Dark Mode soulstones rather than gacha luck.

Beascuit Dough does not level a Beascuit. It rerolls one. Here is the full cost sheet for the Beascuit system — the Coin rate on Bites, the Crystal bill on attunement, the reset prices by rarity, and what a scrapped Beascuit pays back.
CRK Arcade Arena Guide — 5v5 Seasons, Every Cookie at Lv.100

CRK Kingdom Arena Guide — Tiers, Star Abilities & Medals
Kingdom Arena pays 3,000 Crystals a season at the bottom of the ladder and at least 30,000 in Grandmaster, and the gap isn't only about who owns better Cookies. It's also the ticket economy, the top-end cutoffs Devsisters rewrote on July 29, and an Arena-only buff layer that landed in the same update. Here's the mechanics layer under every arena comp guide.

Super Mayhem looks like the chaotic, twitchy PvP mode the name promises. It isn't — it's auto-battle.

CRK Cookie Alliance Guide — 3 Teams, Beacon & Relics
Cookie Alliance is the one mode where your bench finally matters — and since the August 26, 2026 revamp it asks for three teams, not five, with Artifacts gone and the Beacon of Valor rebuilt into a free, season-long buff you configure yourself. Here's how the mode works now, what Devsisters' notice actually changed, and how to push deeper for the relics that matter.
