Best Topping build for Candy Diver Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom

The latest Cookie's "Deep Sea Diver" skill is essentially divided into two parts, with one part dealing debuffs to the enemy consistently while the other involves Candy Diver diving into the sea in search of relics, with each relic providing a different buff.

This means that, with every skill cast, enemies who attack Candy Diver will face reduced DEF and increase the DMG received by all nearby enemies. The Candy Diver Cookie is immune to any damage, as outlined in their skill description:

"While wandering the depths of the Duskgloom Sea, Candy Diver Cookie has become immune to enemy attacks by obtaining the Safeguarded ability."

Additionally, every time Candy Diver's skill is used in Cookie Run: Kingdom, they will likely find one of three recurring relics (Siren Statue, Anchor, Pirate Sword) or a special rare relic (Black Pearl Shell). Every time this skill is used and a rare relic is not found, the Super Success % (possibility of Rare relic being found) will stack up, maxing out at 15%.

Regardless of which relic is found, a round of healing will occur before the effects of the relic.

Now, let's go over the stats of this skill before we move on to picking out the toppings.

• 15 second Cooldown
• Regular Attack DEF Reduction: 7.5% for 10.0 sec, stacks up to 2 times
• Regular Attack DMG Boost: 5.0% for 10.0 sec, stacks up to 2 times
• Super Success Rate: 10.0% + Amplify Buff%
• Failed Super Success Carryover Rate: 15.0%
• Regular Relic HP Healing: 43.5%
• Siren Statue: Amplify Buff +15.0% for 10.0 sec
• Pirate Sword: ATK +10.0% for 10.0 sec
• Anchor: DEF +15.0% for 10.0 sec
• (Rare Relic) Black Pearl Shell: Healing +10.9% every 1.0 sec for 7.0 sec, Amplify Buff +15.0% for 10.0 sec, ATK +25.0% for 10.0 sec

While ordinarily, a Swift Chocolate topping is ideal for these kinds of Cookies in Cookie Run: Kingdom, as seen with Mint Choco and Parfait, the importance of Amplify Buff% here, which requires a Sweet Candy build, makes things slightly complicated.

What should be noted here is that, even with a full Amplify Buff build, the actual %boost that you'll see in the applicable areas (Check Skill Numbers above) is less than 20%.

A Swift Chocolate Topping build's reduction in cooldown times can allow the character's skill to be leveraged more often in various Cookie Run: Kingdom game modes, but without the Amplify Buff%, most of this Cookie's potential in-game value is wasted.

In the end, it all boils down to the individual preferences of the reader and what kind of team that Candy Diver is being played with. Cookie Run: Kingdom players who are investing in Candy Diver for their collection of buffs and debuffs should mainly consider the Sweet Candy build, while those looking for a secondary healer of sorts should opt for the Swift Chocolate topping.
