Cookie Run: OvenSmash: How to Build Brie Cheese Cookie

The safest current build for Brie Cheese Cookie in Cookie Run: OvenSmash is a burst-skirmisher setup: Power Kick for your special, Cruel Curtain Call for your ultimate, one survivability passive such as HP Boost or Battle Blessing, and one Special Skill CDR passive to keep her cycle active. That recommendation fits the clearest public guidance available and also fits her kit profile: semi-long-range damage, mobility, and tempo-based pressure rather than frontline durability. Public sources are still fragmented, so confidence in one universal “perfect” build is moderate, not absolute, but the direction is consistent.

Brie Cheese Cookie Character Guide: role and build identity

Brie Cheese Cookie should be treated as a marksman who survives by spacing and repositioning, not by soaking damage. Her Basic attack, Brie Shot, is generally described as a semi-long-range attack with a 1.1-second cooldown. That detail matters because it tells you how she is supposed to win fights: repeated safe shots, a well-timed special to reset spacing or create a burst window, then an ultimate used when enemies are clumped or distracted.

If you build her like a tank, you blunt the strongest part of her kit. If you build only for raw damage and ignore survival, she often dies before getting a second cycle. The correct middle ground is damage tempo plus just enough durability to survive a dive or misread. That is why the most stable Brie Cheese Cookie best build is not pure offense and not pure defense.

Best Brie Cheese Cookie build: skills, passives, and Builds and Gear priorities

For most players, especially in solo queue or inconsistent team environments, this is the default loadout to start from.

• Role: semi-long-range marksman / skirmisher
• Recommended special: Power Kick
• Recommended ultimate: Cruel Curtain Call
• Passive slot 1: Special Skill CDR
• Passive slot 2: HP Boost or Battle Blessing
• Build goal: maintain pressure through safer rotations, not one all-in burst

This setup works because Brie Cheese Cookie gets more value from repeated access to her special than from marginal stat greed. Her special variants are described as charge-based tools that can stun, knock back, or grant movement speed while building Basic Attack stacks. In practical terms, that means the special is not just extra damage. It is her spacing button, escape button, chase correction, and combo starter. Reducing its downtime increases both damage and survival.

Why Power Kick is the default special

Power Kick fits Brie Cheese Cookie’s kit because it supports the exact rhythm she wants: create separation or disruption, then resume firing Basics from a safer angle. One of her special variants is noted for being able to deny incoming damage, which is especially valuable on a marksman who cannot afford to stand still under pressure. Even when the special is used offensively, it is best understood as a tempo reset, not a license to brawl at point-blank range.

The simplest use pattern is this: wait for the enemy commit, use the special to break their approach, then immediately return to Basic attacks. That sequence is more reliable than opening every exchange with the special, because opening with it often leaves you without a correction tool when the real threat reaches you.

Why Cruel Curtain Call is the best ultimate in most matches

Cruel Curtain Call is the most valuable ultimate when the fight is already structured in your favor: enemies grouped, vision limited, or attention pulled elsewhere. Public advice around the skill emphasizes using it from shrubs and surprise angles. That is an important clue. It means the ultimate is strongest as a swing tool, not as a panic button in full view of alert opponents.

Use the ultimate when at least one of these conditions is true:

• The enemy team is stacked around an objective or choke.
• Your frontline or controller has already fixed targets in place.
• You are firing from a side angle or from vision denial.
• The enemy backline has already spent movement or defensive skills.

Hold the ultimate when the fight is still scattered, when targets are already retreating out of range, or when you are using it simply because it is available. Brie Cheese Cookie’s ultimate can decide a clean engagement, but it is noticeably weaker when fired into open space with no setup.

Power Biscuits and passive choices

Because the public meta is still not deeply data-driven, the safest way to evaluate Power Biscuits is by function rather than by assuming one narrow stat line is always optimal. On Brie Cheese Cookie, your biscuit and passive choices should support three priorities in order:

• Special uptime so you can reposition and re-enter fights more often
• Burst conversion so your safe windows actually matter
• Basic survivability so a single dive does not end your rotation

If your available biscuit options force a choice between a small damage increase and cooldown utility, cooldown utility is usually the better first pick. That is because Brie Cheese Cookie’s damage pattern is not purely stat-based. A live Brie Cheese Cookie with her special ready is far more dangerous than a greed-built Brie Cheese Cookie caught without mobility.

For passive slots, the cleanest current split is:

• Special Skill CDR in one slot almost by default
• HP Boost or Battle Blessing in the other if your matches are chaotic or dive-heavy

If your team reliably protects you, you can lean slightly more offensive. If you are playing with random teammates, the defensive slot is usually not negotiable. Brie Cheese Cookie does not need to become durable; she only needs to survive long enough to take another firing position.

Positioning: the part of the build that matters more than gear

Brie Cheese Cookie is skill-expression heavy. That means positioning errors erase build advantages very quickly. The correct default position is behind your sturdier teammate line but not directly centered behind them. A slight angle is better. It gives you cleaner shots, makes incoming skillshots less predictable, and creates an easier route to disengage with your special.

Three positioning rules are enough to improve results immediately:

• Do not open fights from the very front edge of your range. Start one step safer than feels necessary.
• Do not mirror your tank’s movement exactly. Offset to the side so one enemy engage does not hit both of you cleanly.
• After using your special, return to Basics instead of overchasing. Her value comes from extended pressure after the reset.

This is also why Brie Cheese Cookie often performs better around terrain, corners, and shrubs than in wide open lanes. Terrain gives her more ways to conceal the start of an ultimate and more routes to break line of sight after a special.

Ultimate timing and fight sequencing

Good Ultimate timing with Brie Cheese Cookie is less about fast reactions and more about sequencing. Her strongest fights usually follow this order:

• Use Basics to test spacing and force movement.
• Wait for enemy engage or overextension.
• Use the special to reset, disrupt, or create room.
• Resume Basics immediately to capitalize on the opening.
• Commit Cruel Curtain Call only when multiple targets are vulnerable or vision is compromised.

If you reverse that order and begin with the ultimate in neutral space, the enemy often has full freedom to spread out, dodge, or collapse on you. In other words, the ultimate is strongest when the fight has already become awkward for the opponent.

Common mistakes that make her feel weaker than she is

• Building pure HP: this does not solve her real weakness, which is bad spacing and lost tempo.
• Treating her as a frontline duelist: semi-long range is an instruction, not a suggestion.
• Using the special only as engage: often better as a defensive correction or spacing tool.
• Panic-casting Cruel Curtain Call on one target: its value rises sharply when enemies are grouped or surprised.
• Standing still after the special: the correct follow-up is usually reposition plus Basics, not stationary greed.

These mistakes are also why tier list debates can be misleading. Even if Brie Cheese Cookie shifts slightly up or down in a tier list, her functional identity remains the same. She is a ranged damage dealer with mobility, not a stat-check bruiser. Balance changes may alter her numbers, but they are unlikely to reverse that role completely unless her kit is fundamentally reworked.

Final recommendation

If you want one practical default for Brie Cheese Cookie, use Power Kick + Cruel Curtain Call + Special Skill CDR + one survivability passive, then play every fight from the assumption that your job is to survive the first collapse and win the second exchange. That is the most stable interpretation of her current public build guidance. Optimize her as a mobile marksman, not a tank, and most of the rest of the decision-making becomes clearer: safer angles, later ultimates, and more value from each special cycle.
