​​In Cookie Run: Kingdom, Ambush Cookies are specialized damage dealers known for their agility and precision. Typically positioned in the middle or rear, they excel at infiltrating enemy lines to target vulnerable backline units, such as healers and support Cookies. Their playstyle emphasizes swift, high-impact attacks, often allowing them to evade direct retaliation through brief periods of intangibility or stealth. Naturally, not all of them are designed equal and some are stronger than others. This tier list breaks down the best ambush type cookies to use in 2025!
