Cookie Run: Crumble Synergy Matrix — Who Buffs Whom

The Synergy page answers “who grants what”. This page answers the reverse and more practical question: you own a provider — who is it actually buffing? Every Synergy below lists its providers and every Cookie that receives it, with rarity, class and cooldown.

Last updated: August 7, 2026.

Three numbers frame the whole roster. 18 of the 69 Cookies grant a Synergy. All 69 receive at least one, for 72 recipient slots in total. That is four recipients for every provider — the reason a team built purely on rarity usually leaves somebody unbuffed.

How to read this

Recipients are sorted by cooldown, shortest first. For a buff that is up for a fixed window rather than permanently, the Cookie that cycles fastest inside that window gets the most out of it, so the top of each recipient list is where a provider’s value concentrates.

“Also receives” is the column that costs you a slot. Most Cookies receive exactly one Synergy, so one provider finishes them. The three that receive two need two providers before they are running at full strength, and they are listed separately at the bottom.

Every provider is also a recipient. All 18 grant-capable Cookies receive something themselves, which means putting a provider in your team never wastes the receiving half of that slot. Knight receives the same Range it grants; Grapevine receives Duration while granting Rapid Fire.

What this is for

The practical use is working out whether a provider you already own is worth a slot. One Knight covers Range for up to 18 different Cookies, so if two or three of your picks are on that list, a single U-rarity Tank is buffing your whole damage core. A Chain provider covers at most five, and both Chain providers are SR or above.

That asymmetry — 18 recipients for Range against 5 for Chain — is why the same provider slot is worth very different amounts depending on which Synergy your carry happens to need. Check your carry’s Synergy first, then look up how crowded that list is before you spend anything.

To plan an actual team against this data, the Party Builder does the same computation live for a team of up to 12.

Sources

Rarity and class from our roster data, cross-checked across PocketGamer, CrumbleDB, Pocket Tactics and cookierun.wiki. Skill cooldowns and the grants/receives lists from the per-Cookie /Crumble pages on cookierun.wiki, read August 5, 2026, covering 69 of 69.

Every table on this page is generated from those two files at build time rather than hand-maintained, so it cannot drift from the Cookie pages, the tier list or the Party Builder. The pairing of provider to recipient is computed by us and is not published in this form anywhere we could find.

We have not played the game. Nothing here is a tier claim — a Synergy graph is a fact about the roster, not an opinion about it.
