Different landmarks grant different buffs, so players should build according to their team composition.

Ominous Cake Tower is often referred to as the Tower of Sweet Chaos.

The landmark is relatively cost-effective as it only costs 1200 Chaos Cake Pieces to build. Ominous Cake Tower provides Cookies with a 5% HP buff at the base level. This can be increased to nearly 20% by investing more Chaos Cake Pieces in upgrading the landmark. The Tower of Sweet Chaos is also listed in the popular methods to gain some extra coins in Cookie Run: Kingdom.

The most expensive landmark on this list, the Dark Lords Tower costs 5,000 Crystals to build. While there is considerable debate in the Cookie Run: Kingdom community about the cost-effectiveness of this particular landmark, the damage resistance buff provided by the same makes it a must-have.

Damage Resistance is a better attribute to upgrade than HP or Defense percentage, as investing in bettering DMG resistance will help players survivability more than anything else.

The Dark Lords Tower Provides a 5% DMG resist buff to your entire team at the base level. This buff maxes out at 15%.


4) Jelly Lion Statue

The Jelly Lion Statue became accessible to players along with the collection shown in the above tweet.

This is the 2nd most expensive landmark on the list, with a hefty 2400 crystal price tag. The Jelly Lion Statue is an ideal landmark for new players to build as the ATK rating buff can easily outplay players at lower tiers. This ATK rating increase starts at 5% and goes up to 10% on upgrades. The landmark is expensive, but an attack power buff that huge is generally considered worth it in the community.

Players struggling to get their hands on the right toppings and skill powders can build this landmark to increase their ATK power conveniently.


5) Tick Tock Clock Tower

Tick Tock Clock Tower was released as part of the update mentioned in the above tweet.

The Tick Tock Clock Tower is considered one of the most cost-effective landmarks in the game as it only costs 50,000 coins and some ordinary materials to build. The upgrade costs are also meager in comparison to the functionality provided.

This is considered a must-buy for all Cookie Run: Kingdom players, especially new ones. This landmark is different from the others on the list as it does not provide a buff for players teams' but instead decreases the production time in all their buildings. This allows players to craft materials that are faster, which they can in turn use to level up their Cookies and acquire various other powerups.

The reduction in production times is at 1% at the base level and can be upgraded to 10%.


Building landmarks is one of many examples of how integrating kingdom expansion with combat aspirations can help players boost their progress in both. There are many other landmarks available to players looking for specific buffs.

A combination of all the landmarks listed here would work well in boosting the performance of many Cookie Run: Kingdom team compositions.
