Cookie Run Kingdom Ash Salt Cookie Build and the best frostings

Ash Salt is the new Epic to join Cookie's ever-growing roster Cookie Run Kingdom. Despite being an Ambush character, it feels a bit weaker compared to certain Epics like Salt Caller, Pavlova, Grapefruit, and higher rarity units.

I tested Ash Salt in Today's Bounty and Trial Grounds high-level boss fights like Fainted Forest Druid (Lv. 13) and Desert Paradise of Life (Stage 8), and she was taken out by small mobs before even reaching the final boss. That said, she's definitely strong in certain game modes that we've covered below, especially when you put her on the right team. Here are the best builds for Ash Salt Cookie v Cookie Run Kingdom based on its strengths and weaknesses.

Build type	Toppings	Tart	Beascuit
Full attack	5 Chrono Raspberry / 5 Searing Raspberry (ATK, Cooldown, CRIT)	1 Baking raspberry cake M	Legendary Dark Crispy Beascuit / Legendary Crispy Beascuit (DMG Resist, Cooldown)
Attack & Cooldown	2 Chrono Raspberry + 3 Chrono Chocolate (ATK, Cooldown, CRIT)	1 Baking raspberry cake M	Legendary Dark Crispy Beascuit / Legendary Crispy Beascuit (DMG Resist, ATK)

From my experience with her, I found Ash Salt Cookie to be good for World Exploration (Crispia, Beast Yeast and the new chapter, Timeline of Fate) as well as Arcade Arena.

It can also be used while running in the Kingdom Arena, especially when paired with Timekeeper Cookie (for example, in Rewound Glory season 1, it appears in top 30 leaderboards) and in Epic-only PvP modes such as Battle of the Epics.

Ash Salt's skill is called Ashen Assassin and deals dark elemental damage to enemies. When you use her, you'll have an advantage against bosses as she deals increased damage to them, but make sure you have a fully built healer (like Pure Vanilla) on your side to protect her from incoming hits.

She starts the fight by turning into her shadow form for 10 seconds and attacking everything in her path with a fork. During these 10 seconds, her normal attacks will add Ashen Salt damage on each hit (35.4% per second), and she will finish with a final hit that deals 208.9% of her ATK. If an enemy is defeated during this time, Ash Salt will gain salt crystals that will help her return to Shadow Form faster by reducing her cooldown.

Best Frostings for Ash Salt Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom are either five Chrono Raspberries or five Searing Raspberriesfocusing on the ATK, Cooldown, or CRIT sub-stats. You should also use a Roasting a raspberry cake M to fill the sixth slot.

Although this is an attack focused build, it has a 14 second cooldown, so you can also focus on full Cooldown sub-stats. It's a fragile unit, so you want it to deal as much damage as possible and as quickly as possible.

Chocolate and Raspberry Icing (Level A)

If you find Ash Salt too slow in fights and the Cooldown essences don't help much in the above build, you can switch to an Attack plus Cooldown mix deck. In this load, equip two Chrono Raspberry and three Chrono Chocolate along with one Searing Raspberry Tart M. You can choose ATK, Cooldown, or CRIT for sub-stats, but ATK or CRIT is recommended for this build.

Players can easily obtain the Resonant variant from the Event Shop by exchanging crystals or playing seasonal events like Clockwork Cogs and Path of Timelines. This is available while the Timeline of Faith update is live, so make sure you download it before it's gone and you're only left with the normal variants.

Since this cookie uses Darkness damage, the ideal Beascuit for her is the Legendary Dark Crispy Beascuit. However, this can be hard to get for some players, so you can generally equip The legendary Crispy Beascuit on Ash Salt Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom. Here's a quick overview of which sub-stats to focus on for each build:
