Hey Platter City residents!
Here are all the details for the update arriving on June 4, 2026.
KEY UPDATES
◼ New Cookie:
White Peach Cookie (Epic | Marksman)
- Basic Attack - Blooming Dagger: Fires a dagger straight forward, dealing damage to enemies in a line. On hit or at max range, the dagger splits into a cone-shaped spread and each split dagger continues dealing damage to every enemy along its path!
- Special Skill - Shadowbind: Leaps to a target location, becoming briefly Invulnerable mid-air. Upon landing, slips into Stealth and gains a burst of movement speed. While in Stealth, Basic Attacks transform into Piercing Daggers - and landing one slows the first enemy hit. Hit multiple enemies at once? They're all stunned! Stealth breaks upon using a skill or taking damage
- Ultimate Skill - Blossom Barrage: Unleashes a flurry of daggers across a cone-shaped area — 3 throws, all dealing damage. Move freely while attacking! On hit, homing daggers chase down nearby enemies and bounce up to 3 times, dealing additional damage with every strike!
◼︎New Cookie Rate-Up Summon
- Added a new Rate-Up Summon with increased drop rates for White Peach Cookie Soulchips
- A brand-new Rate-Up Summon is here with boosted drop rates for White Peach Cookie Soulchips - don't miss your chance to add her to your roster!
- Availability: Until July 2, 2026 at 05:00 (GMT+8)
◼︎New Cookie Pass

◼︎Balance Changes
Buffs
Brie Cheese Cookie
- HP: 3,700 → 3,900
- Ultimate now destroys bushes
- Dev Notes: Brie Cheese Cookie is built to dive headfirst into enemy formations and secure eliminations, but the risk of engaging has been too punishing, making successful plays feel less rewarding than intended. The HP increase improves survivability during engagements, while the bush-destroying Ultimate opens up better vision control and exciting new team strategy opportunities!
Bacon Roll Cookie
- Basic Attack (Hammer Havoc) DMG: 420 → 500
- Dev Notes: Bacon Roll Cookie is a natural at breaking through enemy lines — but often struggled to capitalize after a successful engage. The increased Basic Attack damage means Bacon Roll Cookie now poses a much greater threat once inside the enemy team. Time to make every breakthrough count!
Strawberry Crepe Cookie
- Basic Attack (Crepe Fists) DMG: 350 → 385
- Dev Notes: Strawberry Crepe Cookie is built to push enemies back and apply sustained pressure - but current data shows that Basic Attack pressure has been falling behind the pace of combat. The damage increase brings the cookie back up to speed, improving the cookie’s impact during standoffs and lane control situations
Nerfs
Black Pudding Cookie
- Basic Attack (Crescent Slash) Combo 1 DMG: 585 → 526
- Basic Attack (Crescent Slash) Combo 2 DMG: 735 → 661
- Basic Attack (Crescent Slash) Combo 3 DMG: 1078 → 970
- Special Skill 1 (Shield Rush) Shield: 20% → 15%
- Special Skill 2 (Vampiric Rush) Shield: 15% → 10%
* Fixed an issue where the effect from Ultimate 2 (Afterimage Flash) would disappear abnormally upon defeat after use
- Dev Notes: Black Pudding Cookie has been performing exceptionally well as a frontline initiator, perhaps a little too well. Both damage output and survivability were exceeding intended levels, so these adjustments dial back overall damage and shield strength to raise the risk of diving into enemy teams and encourage more deliberate engagements!
Licorice Cookie
- HP: 4,200 → 4,000
- Ultimate 1 (Licorice Servants) Servant HP: 1,100 → 990
- Ultimate 2 (Tracking Licorice Servants) Servant HP: 940 → 846
- Ultimate 3 (Berserk Licorice Servants) Servant HP: 2,400 → 2,160
- Dev Notes: Licorice Cookie and the Licorice Servants have been showing higher survivability than intended. Safe backline positioning combined with excessive HP made Licorice Cookie far too difficult to take down. Reducing HP for both Licorice Cookie and the Servants introduces more risk when stepping outside of protected positioning - choose your spots wisely!
Adjustments
Espresso Cookie
- Ultimate now destroys bushes
- Dev Notes: After using Espresso Cookie's Ultimate, spotting hidden enemies or quickly reading the battlefield could be a challenge. The bush-clearing Ultimate now improves information gathering and helps with faster follow-up decision making - stay one step ahead of your opponents!
Red Velvet Cookie
- Grab Speed: 12.5 → 13.5
- Special Skill 1 (Binding Grip) Stun Duration: 2 sec → 1.5 sec
- Special Skill 3 (Crimson Grip) Stun Duration: 2 sec → 1.5 sec
- Ultimate 2 (Commander's Judgment) Stun Duration: 1 sec → 1.5 sec
- Basic Attack (Cake Slash) DMG: 400 → 440
- Special Skill 1 (Binding Grip) DMG: 468 → 514
- Special Skill 2 (Rending Grip) DMG: 380 → 418
- Special Skill 3 (Crimson Grip) DMG: 140 → 154
- Special Skill 3 (Crimson Grip) Bleed DMG: 100 → 110
- Ultimate 1 (Commander's Command) DMG: 968 → 1,064
- Ultimate 2 (Commander's Judgment) DMG: 924 → 1,016
- Ultimate 3 (Commander's Cake Legion) DMG: 968 → 1,064
* Fixed an issue where the Bleed effect was being incorrectly applied when using Ultimate 3 (Commander's Cake Legion)
- Dev Notes: Red Velvet Cookie is built to pull enemies in and force engagements — but the pull speed and follow-up damage made it hard to consistently come out on top after landing a grab. Increased pull speed and skill damage make skill combos feel more threatening and reliable, while Stun duration adjustments ensure every successful pull leads to a truly decisive moment!
