The special benefits the Super Epic Cookie possesses make her nearly impossible to kill if another dedicated healer is part of the team.Her extremely high max HP can further be boosted by the Healthy Peanut topping, which the developers have configured to be particularly beneficial when being used with Financier. With this topping set, Financier becomes the Cookie with the highest max HP in Cookie Run: Kingdom, effectively making her the one with the most survivability, the most important aspect of being a tank.All in all, there's just not much to go wrong with a Financier Cookie in your Cookie Run: Kingdom team. Players who are struggling to get any significant value from their Front line, or are having problems ensuring their aggressive PvP comp stays alive to fight it out, should be the first to rush to build and upgrade Financier.Fans can track this space to check out all the latest Cookie Run: Kingdom updates.
