WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

⚡

No Keys Required

Unlike the old Tower of Sweet Chaos, no Searing Keys or energy are needed. Retry a tray as often as you like; each clear unlocks the next.

📈

Auto Level 70

Every Cookie is raised to at least ★5, Lv.70 and Skill Lv.70. It is a floor, not a cap, so under-built Cookies become usable and built ones keep their extra levels.

🚫

Systems Disabled

Bonds, Sugar Gnome Lab, Costume Sets, Guild Level, Guild Relics, Landmarks, the Statue of Heroic Radiance and Topping bonus effects (substats) are all turned off. Topping main stats, Treasures and Beascuits still count.

🎁

One-Time Rewards

Rewards don't refresh. Each tray's first-clear reward and every milestone reward is paid once: Radiant Shards and Beascuit Dough (Radiant Beascuit Dough on every 5th tray) on every Choco tray, plus Bites on trays 1–35; Coins, Star Jellies and Chaos Cake Pieces on early Strawberry trays.

🍫

55 Boss Trays

The Choco Tower is a boss rush — one powered-up boss per tray, except trays 23 and 42, which send four enemies at once. Periodic damage bypasses Hit Shields.

🍓

300 Wave Trays

The Strawberry Tower is a massive gauntlet with wave combat, a boss fight on every 10th tray, and bonus conditions.

DECADENT CHOCO CAKE TOWER

55 Trays

A boss rush. Each of the 55 trays is one fight against a buffed version of an existing boss, and two trays (23 and 42) send four enemies at once. Bosses shrug off most debuffs but are vulnerable to specific ones and to certain elements, and the in-game tip on most trays says what to bring. Read the tip and bring the Cookies that answer it.

ENDLESS STRAWBERRY CAKE TOWER

300 Trays

A 300-tray climb through waves of World Exploration enemies, with a boss on every 10th tray. Recommended power rises from 19,249 on Tray 1 to about 4.2M in the 290s. 129 trays carry an optional bonus for meeting a team condition, and that bonus is the only per-tray hint the game gives, so read it before you pick a team.

MYTHRAS TAKE

Editorial perspective

The Sublime Cake Tower is one of the best things Devsisters has done for CRK's endgame. Removing the key system was huge — it lets you actually practice and experiment without watching a timer. The ★5, Lv.70 floor means far more of your roster is usable, not just the five cookies you've been feeding resources for months.

The Choco Tower rewards game knowledge over raw power. Understanding boss mechanics, knowing when to use periodic damage to bypass Hit Shields, and picking the right cookies for each encounter — that's what separates clears from failures. The Strawberry Tower is a marathon that tests both team depth and adaptability, and from Tray 151 on the tray bonuses switch element every ten trays.

My biggest advice: don't try to brute-force these towers. Watch the guides, understand WHY specific teams work for specific trays, and build your roster strategically. A level 70 cookie with the right matchup can beat a maxed cookie in the wrong fight.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Sublime Cake Tower in CookieRun: Kingdom?
The Sublime Cake Tower replaced the old Tower of Sweet Chaos. It consists of two sub-towers: the Decadent Choco Cake Tower (55 boss-rush trays) and the Endless Strawberry Cake Tower (300 wave-based trays). Every Cookie is raised to at least ★5, Lv.70 and Skill Lv.70; it is a floor, not a cap.
Do I need keys or energy to play the Sublime Cake Tower?
No. Unlike the old Tower of Sweet Chaos which required Searing Keys, the Sublime Cake Tower has no energy or key costs. You can retry a tray as many times as you want, and beating it unlocks the next one.
What is the difference between the Choco Tower and Strawberry Tower?
The Decadent Choco Cake Tower is a boss rush of 55 trays, each a single boss fight except trays 23 and 42, which send four enemies at once. The Endless Strawberry Cake Tower has 300 trays of wave-based combat with a boss fight on every 10th tray. Both share the same Special Rule, which disables Bonds, Sugar Gnome Laboratory, Costume Sets, Guild Level, Guild Relics, Landmarks, the Statue of Heroic Radiance and Topping bonus effects (substats).
What cookies are best for the Sublime Cake Tower?
It depends on the tray. Key cookies include Stormbringer (Choco Tower), Pure Vanilla (healing, team shields and 50% Injury reduction), Burning Spice + Fire Spirit (Strawberry Tray 191-200), and Darkness Cookies such as Dark Cacao (Strawberry 171-180). Each tray has different optimal teams.
Are the Sublime Cake Tower rewards one-time or recurring?
All rewards are one-time only per tray. Unlike the old Tower of Sweet Chaos which had seasonal refreshes, Sublime Cake Tower rewards do not reset.
What replaced the Tower of Sweet Chaos?
The Tower of Sweet Chaos ended in January 2024 (Season 18) and was replaced by the Sublime Cake Tower in the Heaven-Splitting Lightning update (v5.4). The new tower features permanent one-time rewards and no key requirements.
