Is Ancient rarer than legendary Cookie Run?

Technically Ancients are "rarer" than legendaries because if you search by rarity the ancients are rarer (it goes ancient>legendary>epic>collaboration>rare>common) Although there are only 5-6 ancients, Pure Vanilla, Hollyberry, White Lily, Dark Cacao, and Golden Cheese. (if Dark Enchantress Cookie is added we don't know if she'd be an ancient or a legendary) So ancients are limited in number compared to legendaries, which doesn't have requirements. But I believe they're equally as powerful.

Cookie Run: Kingdom players are aware that cookies in the game are available in five rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, Ancient, and Legendary.

The lowest rarity being Common, and the highest being Ancient and Legendary.

Common and Rare cookies are much more in number compared to the other cookies and just as their rarity names suggest, the Ancient and Legendary cookies are a much better replacement than the lower ones.

However, it doesn't mean that Ancient and Legendary cookies can't be defeated. There are plenty of Epic cookies and team compositions not using any Ancient cookies that can still work like a charm!


Among Cookies of all rarities, getting an Ancient or Legendary Cookie would be the most difficult.

There are 7 legendary cookies among which only 2 are playable at the moment:

  • Sea Fairy Cookie
  • Frost Queen Cookie

There are 5 Ancient Cookies among which only 2 are playable at the moment:

  • Pure Vanilla Cookie
  • Hollyberry Cookie

5) Pumpkin Pie Cookie

Thank You!

They each have significant influence on the Cookie world and how it has been shaped. Legendaries are on par with the Ancient rarity and currently have a 0.054% chance of being pulled from the Gacha.
They are obtainable through all Cookie Gachas with a 0.054% chance of being pulled, and have a higher chance of being pulled through the Nether-Gacha, a special event that runs during an Ancient Cookie's release update.

Are Legendaries or ancients better?

In general, Ancient and Primal Ancient items are more powerful versions of Legendary items. They are identical to Legendary items except that their base attributes (damage or armor) and all non-percentile affixes roll higher values for both minimum and maximum possible rolls.
