Cookie Run: Crumble Classes — Vanguard, Defender & Shooter
Every Cookie in CookieRun: Crumble belongs to one of three classes. Because you field a team of up to 12 Cookies against endless swarms, getting the class balance right matters more than any single unit.
Vanguard
The frontline. Vanguards push into the swarm, deal close-range damage and clear waves fast. They take the brunt of the enemy, so they need a Defender behind them to survive longer runs.
- Officially confirmed Vanguard: Dark Cherry.
Defender
The survivability anchor. Defenders are tanky, soak damage and protect your squishier ranged Cookies. On long survivor maps, a strong Defender is usually what keeps a run alive.
- Officially confirmed Defender: Berry Yogurt.
Shooter
The ranged damage core. Shooters sit at the back and deal sustained or burst damage from range while the frontline holds the line. They carry your clear speed but are fragile if left exposed.
- Officially confirmed Shooter: Grapevine.
Other revealed Cookies (class TBD)
These Cookies are officially revealed but Devsisters hasn’t confirmed their class yet — we’ll assign them the moment it’s official: Oven Wanderer, Brightseeker, Cool Mint, Devil’s Tooth, GingerCraven.
How to balance a team
A safe starting template: frontline Vanguard + a Defender to anchor + Shooters for damage, filled out as you unlock more Cookies. See where each revealed Cookie lands in our interactive pre-launch tier list, and if you’re brand new, start with the beginner guide.
