Using the dex

Understanding synergies: cookies that give and cookies that receive

Synergies are recorded as which cookies and pets give them and which cookies receive them. Here's how to find those relations in our dex.

Written · Updated

Key points

  • Seven synergies are recorded: Pierce, Chain, Volley, Projectile Speed, Rapid Fire, Range and Duration.
  • Each synergy lists who gives it (cookies and pets) and who receives it (cookies) separately.
  • This site doesn't calculate how strong a synergy is. Which synergies switch on in your team can be checked in the team builder.

What a synergy is

A synergy boosts one property of a skill. According to the recorded descriptions, Pierce applies to the pierce count, Chain to the chain count, Volley to the number of simultaneous shots or targets, Projectile Speed to projectile speed, Rapid Fire to the number of repeated hits, Range to the area of effect and Duration to the duration.

Each synergy has a fixed set of cookies and pets that give it and cookies that receive it.

Givers and receivers

  • Givers: cookies whose skill grants the synergy to allies, or pets that give it.
  • Receivers: cookies recorded as having the synergy apply to their skill.
  • A cookie can give one synergy and receive another, and some cookies both give and receive the same synergy.

As the Synergy Dex explains it, a synergy switches on when the team has at least one giver (a cookie or pet) and at least one receiver (a cookie), and a pet's companion effect also counts as a giver. The data doesn't say what happens when several stack or how large the effect is, so please check those in the game.

Checking on the Synergies page

  1. Open the Synergies page in the dex. All seven synergies are shown as cards on one page.
  2. Select a synergy in the shortcuts at the top to jump to its card. It stays at the end of the address after #, so a shared link opens the same card.
  3. Each card splits givers (cookies and pets) from receivers (cookies). Select a name to open that cookie's or pet's dex page.
  4. Type a cookie or pet name in the search box to highlight it and see a summary of the synergies it gives and receives.

In the Cookie Dex and tier list

  • The Synergy filter on the Cookie Dex list shows only cookies that give or receive that synergy.
  • Each row of the tier list shows the synergies the cookie receives and gives; selecting one opens the Synergies page.
  • Both filters only use the give/receive relation; they don't check whether it triggers in a real team.

What this site doesn't do

  • It doesn't calculate synergy effect values or totals when several stack.
  • How many synergies switch on in your team is shown in the team builder, and recommended teams per content are in Recommended teams.
