Timeline of Fate Ep. 10 – The Missing Piece
The main story of Cookie Run: Kingdom continues with the new update, introducing a new episode, “Timeline of Fate Ep. 10 – The Missing Piece”. It continues directly from the previous episode, where the trio of time criminals successfully protected the Seal Tree. Then in the new episode, takes them to Golden Cheese Cookie’s Golden City, where they must awaken the sleeping beings inside the tree. The episode also adds new stages in the Golden City with Story/Normal and Hard difficulties.
During this new episode, the update also brings brand-new episode effects to make your adventure more enjoyable:
- Data Tampering - This is connected to the Cheese Fondue Plaza stage. Enemies can cause your Cookies to gain Virus Points during battle. More Virus Points reduce your team’s damage. Once the Virus Points reach their limit, your Cookies enter Lag. After Lag ends or is removed, Data Tampering can activate and permanently reduce Max HP over time. Time Shadow Cookie, Pulpo Cookie, and Golden Cheese Cookie are less affected by this effect.
- Realm of Spice - This effect appears in the Ruins of a Forgotten Empire stage. Whenever enemies take damage, the Realm of Spice bar fills. When full, it triggers Spice Haze and then Spice Typhoon, which weaken your team and strengthen enemies. Time Shadow Cookie, Pulpo Cookie, Burning Spice Cookie, and Nutmeg Tiger Cookie can reduce the bar with their attacks and are more resistant to these effects.
Tip to Reduce the Impact of Effects: You can reduce the impact of both effects by bringing the featured time criminals and Golden Cheese Cookie into your team.
Arcade Arena Returns
The Arcade Arena returns with two new seasons during this CookieRun Kingdom September 9 update. Instead of the previous 5v5 format, this update features larger battles with different battle formats and rules each week:
| Season 1 – 6v6 Legendary Clash | Season 2 – 7v7 Epic Showdown |
| Dates: September 9 - 15 | Dates: September 16 - 22 |
| Format: 6v6 battles | Format: 7v7 battles |
| Treasures: x3 | Treasures: x5 |
| Special Rule: Legendary Cookies gain ATK +50%, Cooldown –30%, and Max HP +30% for the season | Special Rule: No Legendary-specific boost; focuses on skill output and Epic Cookie synergy |
| Focus: Build teams around strong Legendary Cookies and useful Treasures | Focus: Use high skill output and flexible team compositions |
Every Cookie and their Skills are boosted to Level 100 in this mode, so team composition and battle strategy are more important than normal progression.
To get the most out of this event:

- Try to build a balanced team rather than simply choosing your most upgraded Cookies.
- Reach the highest tier possible before each season ends for better rewards.

- Tickets refill every 2 hours 24 minutes, so use them regularly and avoid reaching the maximum limit.
- Spend your Arena Coins in the Arcade Arena Shop for useful materials and upgrades.
Trial of Glory: Fire Spirit Cookie

You can unlock this mode by clearing the 10th stage of Fire Spirit Cookie’s Trial Grounds. For this new season, Fire Spirit Cookie opens the new rotation, giving players another chance to test their strongest damage-focused teams. In this mode, you can earn first-win rewards for each Cookie, season rewards, and per-play rewards.
