Cookie Run Kingdom: Povidone-Iodine Cookie Toppings and Beascuits guide

Does a spoonful of sugar truly help the medicine go down? Let our guide on the best Povidone-Iodine Cookie toppings help you maximise the "Raging Scalpel" of R&D!

Cookie Run Kingdom: Povidone-Iodine Cookie Toppings and Beascuits guide
  • Povidone-Iodine Cookie can deal a lot of damage, but you need to give her a really good Beascuit.
  • Aim for Steel DMG or DMG Resist Bypass for more damage output.
  • Alternatively, you can also look for additional Max HP.

Joining the Kingdom up next is a rather unique cookie - she doesn't take after food, but rather medicine (more precisely, iodine solution). One could say she's not exactly an edible cookie, like some of our other cookies (take Creme Brulee Cookie or Linzer Cookie, for instance).

Her name is Povidone-Iodine Cookie, and she is a Super Epic cookie who means business. She is part of Episode 3 from Timeline of Fate, the chapter released alongside Timekeeper Cookie.

Today, my goal is to give you the best build for Povidone-Iodine Cookie in CRK, so you can pick the best Beascuit and Toppings for her. Let's dive in.

The best Povidone-Iodine Cookie Toppings

There are a few different Toppings that could work on her, but to make the most out of her skill, you want to give her as much Cooldown as you can, with some extra ATK and HP (if possible). Here are her ideal Toppings:

or

Povidone-Iodine Cookie's best Beascuit setup

beascuit with full steel damage for povidone iodine cookie

Since her skill relies heavily on Steel DMG and HP, you have a few options available. You can give her a Legendary Steelen Spicy Beascuit with full Steel DMG, or go for a regular Beascuit with DMG Resist Bypass and/or Max HP. 

It all depends on what you aim to achieve with her - if you want more damage, you go for the Steelen Beascuit or DMG Resist Bypass one, otherwise you go for Max HP and DMG Resist.

Here are the stats you want to look out for:

  • Steel DMG
  • DMG Resist Bypass
  • (optional) HP
  • (optional) DMG Resist
  • (optional) Cooldown

Should you get Povidone-Iodine Cookie?

You should try to summon Povidone-Iodine Cookie. She is one of the best Super Epics available, along with Venom Dough Cookie. Although Povidone-Iodine Cookie is going to be meta for the Arena together with Hollyberry Cookie (for the Steel DMG buff), she needs a few upgrades, so I strongly recommend you try to get copies of her.

Oh, and why not see how she ranks against the rest of the roster with our Cookie Run Kingdom tier list too?
