Best Dark Cacao Cookie Toppings in Cookie Run Kingdom

But since he is a Charge-type Cookie, you can combine two Solid Almond and three Swift Chocolate toppings or two Swift Chocolate and three Solid Almond toppings to balance his offense and defense.
If you opt to use the combination with Swift Chocolate toppings, Dark Cacao Cookie’s ability, Solemn Judgement, can be spammed more often. One use, he attacks enemies using his Grapejam Chocoblade to damage all within his range. This attack reduces the attack and defense of enemies and inflicts the Zap debuff. dealing three percent of damage every second for nine seconds while nullifying HP shields. All enemies injured have their max HP reduced, and their immunity and dispelling effects are denied.

Still, his offense is already decent, even without those. And if you want to focus more on making him a defender, then putting at least two more damagers on your team would be the most ideal scenario.
