Everyone knows that the fanciest desserts all have names that you need to look up the pronunciations of. Financier, for example, is pronounced: “fi-nan-see-eh.” Dang, that’s fancy. Cookie Run Kingdom’s Financier Cookie is appropriately fancy as well, but that doesn’t mean she’s a pushover. Here are the best Financier Cookie toppings builds in Cookie Run Kingdom.
Best Financier Cookie Toppings Build in Cookie Run Kingdom
Financier Cookie is a front-priority Defense-type character in Cookie Run Kingdom. Financier is an old-school tank, soaking up the brunt of the damage from the front of the pack and ensuring the safety of her teammates. Financier’s personal skill is Paladin Protection, a combination of passive defense and an active buff. At all times, Financier will automatically protect whichever member of her team has the highest attack stat, though her buff will be more powerful if her defensive target is Clotted Cream Cookie, her liege. Upon activation, Paladin Protection also turns Financier’s attacks into AoE hits, while providing her defendant with universal buffs, healing, and a Light’s Protection shield that damages foes.

The Shining Shield
As a tank, Financier’s job is to soak up as much damage as she can to keep the heat off her defendants. That said, her true defensive potential only comes about when she can activate her ability. With these qualities in mind, her best candidates for Toppings would be Solid Almond and Swift Chocolate.
Solid Almond increases a cookie’s damage resistance stat, with a full set of five providing a +5% damage resistance buff. More damage resistance ensures Financier can take all the punishment for both her and her defendant, as well as stay standing between skill activations.
Swift Chocolate reduces the cooldown on a cookie’s skills, with a full set of five providing a +5% cooldown reduction bonus. Shorter cooldowns mean that Financier can bust out her enhanced defense more frequently, which is vital for more hectic encounters.
Your Toppings of choice will depend on the kind of fight you’re getting into, but generally, a mix of Solid Almond for more damage resistance and Swift Chocolate for faster cooldowns is the best approach. Go for a 3-2 ratio in favor of the Swift Chocolate to maximize your defensive capabilities.
With the right Toppings, Financier Cookie can be the shield that protects your DPS cookies from harm, leaving them free to unleash their full damage-dealing potential on your enemies. Now that’s what I call some fancy defense.
