Which is the best Healer Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom?

Since its launch, the standard meta in Cookie Run: Kingdom has been a tank knocking back enemies at the Front, and Mid position Cookies dealing the damage. Players prioritize unlocking Defense and DPS Cookies without realizing the importance that a Healer holds for this meta team.

Without a solid healer, the overall survivability of the team and the Defense Cookie at the Front is very low. Once the Front line falls, it's a brief wait until the entire team dies out.

This article will help players pick the best healer for their Cookie Run: Kingdom teams.

Best Healer Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom in 2022

A total of 9 Cookies can be used as Healers in Cookie Run: Kingdom. This includes all 5 Healing Cookies and 4 Support Cookies, whose major application is in their healing skills.

3 of them are Rare and Common tier Cookies, meaning they are not in the range to support combat at higher ranks.

The other 6 are Epic tier and Pure Vanilla is Ancient tier. While many competitive healers are present among the Epic tier, who can definitely be put to use in the absence of the Ancient, Pure Vanilla is in another league.

Pure Vanilla Cookie in Cookie Run: Kingdom Soulstone Description

The description of Pure Vanilla Cookie's Soulstone reads:

"This stone holds a piece of Pure Vanilla Cookie's soul. It radiates with a warm reassuring light."

Recently a new meta seems to be surfacing in the game post the release of Cotton Cookie, where healers are also taking up a secondary DPS role. While that increases the overall value that healers provide to the team, it does not really increase the team's overall capability beyond having a dedicated healer.

Hence, Pure Vanilla continues to retain the title of best healer in Cookie Run: Kingdom despite the release of damage dealing healers like Eclair and Cotton.
