Summer Soda Rock Festa - Part 1 - Patch Notes
🌰 We are live from the Summer Soda Rock Festa here on the Pineapple Island!
🔎 Yeah! It’s really loud here! I hope this doesn’t get the attention of Ananas Dragon Cookie!
🌰 This is said to be another breakthrough for Shining Glitter Cookie, but wasn’t she a pop star?
🔎 Yeah, she was!
🌰 Why rock? She showed up in the headlines a lot when she was a pop star!
🔎Maybe she wanted to try something new? Business decisions? We just gotta find out!
Patch notes are copy/pasted from the official Cookie Run Discord server beyond this line, also including any pictures they posted. Annotations from me will be indented using this formatting.
WHAT’S NEW
■ NEW SPECIAL EPISODE: SUMMER SODA ROCK FESTA
- The new special episode where you get to meet the many performers of the Summer Soda Rock Festa has been added.
- The Summer Soda Rock Festa is split into Story and Dark mode, and you explore each Cookie’s story through the dialogue options.
- You can play in Dark mode once you’ve reached the ending concert of one of the Cookies’ stories.
- The Cookie epilogues that are available in Dark mode can only be viewed after you’ve seen the specific Cookie’s show.
- Rock Festa Quills are required to participate in the Summer Soda Rock Festa. Rock Festa Quills are recharged at midnight. Additional Quills can be acquired through events, packages, or direct purchase.
- The Summer Soda Rock Festival is unlocked after 10 explorations of the Tropical Soda Islands, but can also be unlocked using Crystals.
If you choose to use Crystals to unlock this new special episode, you will receive an unlocking discount.
Unlock price should be the same as last update, but this is unknown to me as they did not specify a price and I have already met unlock conditions on my end.
- Along with the addition of the Summer Soda Rock Festa, a time-limited event benefit is also provided to help you obtain Glittering Pins through battle, which are used for Shining Glitter Cookie’s Superstar Gacha.
- Rock Festa Catnip Coins can be obtained at the completion of Summer Soda Rock Festa Stages or Quests, and can be used to buy an assortment of items at the Summer Soda Shop.
- The Summer Soda Shop can be accessed from the Artist Zone through Catnip Cookie.
It is assumed that Catnip Cookie’s shop will operate in a similar manner as the Legend of the Red Dragon.
■ RHYTHM GAME
- Once you’ve reached the ending of a Cookie’s story on Story difficulty, the rhythm game will be available.
- The rhythm stage is divided into two difficulty levels: Normal and Hard.
The hard difficulty will be available once you’ve cleared the game on normal.
This mode was last seen during the CRK x BTS collab last fall. The rules and magichanics of this mode should remain the same. Also shoutout to Sparkling Cookie and Herb Cookie in the audience in the left picture.
■ BOSS HUNT
- In this update, we’re introducing a new time-limited event: the Boss Hunt!
- The Boss Hunt will require you to organize teams with a given number of Battle Points and defeat Bosses that appear consecutively.
- Battle Points are used when placing Cookies in a team, and when applying Battle Tactics for the team to provide a useful buff. Various teams can be formed according to the Battle Point limit at each given stage.
- Form different teams to battle throughout the season, defeating Bosses to obtain special resources.
- The obtained resources can be exchanged for various items at the Boss Hunt Shop.
- Check out the extra rewards based on the total number of plays on the Event page.
■ [SUPER EPIC] SHINING GLITTER COOKIE
- Shining Glitter Cookie is a Magic Cookie who uses the skill ‘All Eyes on the Stage!’
This is a rarity increase to Super Epic from her previous appearance in OvenBreak, where she was an Epic Cookie in the same update as Popping Candy Cookie in December 2020, released in part 2.
- Skill Description: Shining Glitter Cookie begins singing the Glittering Song, applying the Glittering Rock Spirit buff to her allies, and dealing damage to the enemies. Whenever the song lands a critical hit, it will partially ignore the target's DMG Resist and Zap them. If Shining Glitter Cookie manages to deal a certain number of critical hits with the Glittering Song, she will provide a CRIT DMG Resist buff for the entire team. While Shining Glitter Cookie is using her skill, she will briefly become resistant to interrupting effects.
- Collect or purchase Glittering Pins and use them to pull Shining Glitter Cookie in the Superstar Gacha.
· In the Superstar Gacha, you will receive Melody Shards instead of Mileage Points.
· You will receive the same number of Melody Shards for pulling Cookies and Soulstones regardless of the Cookies’ Ascension status.
· Once you have collected a certain number of Melody Shards, you will be able to meet a guaranteed Shining Glitter Cookie.
· If you already have fully ascended Shining Glitter Cookie by the time you have your Melody Shards meter filled, you will receive a different reward instead.
· After the end of the event, all remaining Melody Shards will be converted to Mileage Points and delivered to your mailbox.
■ [EPIC] ROCKSTAR COOKIE
- Rockstar Cookie is a Healing Cookie who uses the skill ‘Legend of Rock.’
This is a rarity increase from OvenBreak, where he was a Rare Cookie.
- Skill Description: Rockstar Cookie performs a rock anthem, periodically Healing the team's HP, and applies the Legendary Rock Spirit buff, Curse Protection buff, and a CRIT% buff for the whole team, excluding himself based on his CRIT% boost from equipped Toppings. Under Legendary Rock Spirit, the target will have their HP restored whenever they deal a critical hit. If Rockstar Cookie is defeated, he will have all active debuffs on himself removed and begin his Encore. During Encore, Rockstar Cookie will provide extra Healing and increase the Healing the team receives. While Rockstar Cookie is using his skill, he will briefly become resistant to interrupting effects.
■ CHANCE UP GACHA
