Pure Vanilla Cookie is a Healer in Cookie Run Kingdom and one of the most iconic and powerful Cookies in the game’s history. As the first-ever Ancient Cookie, the founder of the Vanilla Kingdom, and bearer of the Light of Truth. Pure Vanilla Cookie has a special place in the game and is a must-have support Cookie that can keep your team alive even during the hardest fights, but it can be difficult to get him in your squad. Here’s everything you need to know about how to unlock Pure Vanilla Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom and what is his awakened version.
There are not many Cookies on Earthbread who could inspire hope as Pure Vanilla Cookie did. Born from nature-blessed cream and a fragrant vanilla bean, he was the epitome of Cookie kindness and faithfulness. Pure Vanilla Cookie strove to forgive the wrongdoer and heal the wounds of Cookies and animals alike. Though a powerful wielder of magic, he would use his spells not for his own good, but for the good of everyone. The Cookie took an arduous pilgrimage down the Sugar-Free Road. What Pure Vanilla Cookie learned through the Trials is unknown, but crowned with a bright halo of light he returned to found the Vanilla Kingdom, a land of freedom and learning, and a beacon for those seeking love and peace. Pure Vanilla Cookie stood by his friends until the very end, warding off the Darkness with a heartfelt smile.
Who is Pure Vanilla Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom
Pure Vanilla Cookie is the leader of the five Ancient Heroes. On Earthbread, he’s remembered for his compassion and light, who protects others with his healing abilities and wisdom. In battle, he controls the Rear and plays his role as a Healing-type Cookie to restore HP and shield his team. He was introduced back in the Lost Kingdom update (v1.3) alongside Black Raisin Cookie and later received an awakened form, Pure Vanilla Cookie (Compassionate).
How to Get Pure Vanilla Cookie Through Soul Stones
The best way to get Pure Vanilla Cookie is by collecting his 20 Soul Stones, which contain his soul fragments and can be used to summon him once the required amount is collected. After that, you can use extra stones to promote him and level up his stats. These are two ways to collect Soul Stones for Pure Vanilla Cookie:
- Arena Medal Shop: Soul Stones appear here as part of the Ancient Soul Stone rotation, and each one costs 600 Arena Medals. The rotation shifts between Pure Vanilla Cookie and Hollyberry Vanilla Cookie, so you’ll need regular Arena participation to catch him when he appears.
- Cookie Gacha Pulls: Soul Stones can also be obtained occasionally through the regular Cookie Gacha or featured banners. The drop rate for Pure Vanilla Cookie himself is very low, around 0.054%, but his Soul Stones drop at about 0.308%. As these chances don’t change between banners, it’s preferred to save crystals for guaranteed banners or focus on the Arena Shop.
Once you’ve collected the required Soul Stones, go to the Cookies Menu and exchange them to unlock Pure Vanilla Cookie.
How to Get Pure Vanilla Cookie from the Cookie Gacha
You can also get Pure Vanilla Cookie from Cookie Gacha draws, but the chances are very slim. He’s part of the standard pool, so you don’t need a special banner to pull him. But Ancient Cookies are the rarest ones in the game, which means you will likely spend a lot of Crystals before he appear.
If you already have Pure Vanilla Cookie and have even pulled him again through gacha, the duplicate converts into his 20 Soul Stones, which you can use to promote him. This method is luck-based but worth a try if you have enough spare Crystals for large pulls in special events. The game often increases Ancient drop rates or introduces limited banners.
Pure Vanilla Cookie’s Role and Skill
Pure Vanilla Cookie’s main skill, Love & Peace, makes him one of the great support units in Cookie Run Kingdom. Once activated, he heals the whole team, reduces Injury effects, and grants HP Shields that scale with every Cookie’s Max HP. If a Cookie can’t receive a shield, he instead provides a regular healing buff.
His passive offers Debuff Resistance, which keeps the team alive against status-heavy enemies. Thanks to his consistent heals and shields, Pure Vanilla Cookie is the best choice for Arena defense, World Exploration bosses, and Guild Battles where survival matters more than burst damage.
Awakened Form — Pure Vanilla Cookie (Compassionate)
In version 6.1: Beacon of Truth, Pure Vanilla received his Awakened form called Pure Vanilla Cookie (Compassionate). This version represents his rebirth after he overcame the power of Deceit, and offers strong healing buffs, extra protection, and even a revive ability.
To unlock or use this form, you must already have the original Pure Vanilla Cookie. Many players get confused with the awakened form but can’t use it—this is because it’s an upgrade, not a separate Cookie.
Warmth of Compassion is the signature move of the awakened version, which builds on the original’s healing ability by the inclusion of:
- Full team heal and Injury reduction
- HP Shields with periodic healing
- Summoned Shards of Light that heal teammates and deal Light damage to enemies
- A passive Light of Truth effect that automatically heals an ally when their HP drops too low
- Once-per-battle revive ability
His Soulprisms (used for Awakening) can be found in the Rainbow Shell Gallery, so dedicated players will eventually upgrade Pure Vanilla Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom for the powerful skills and abilities to survive the tough fights.
