How summoning works
You pull Cookies with Premium Cookie Cutters (and Crystals), and Pets with Premium Pet Tickets. Stack your free currency from pre-registration and codes, then spend it on your opening summons at launch.
What to target
Aim for a confirmed Defender (Berry Yogurt) or Shooter (Grapevine) first for a safe start. Frontline Vanguards are easy to fill later.
Banner discipline
The habit worth building on day one is not pulling on everything. Premium currency in an idle RPG accrues slowly once the launch handouts dry up, and a banner you pulled on out of curiosity is a limited Cookie you cannot afford three weeks later. Two rules cover most of it:
- Skip banners you have no plan for, even cheap ones. A discounted first pull is still currency spent.
- Hold a reserve for limited and time-restricted Cookies, since those are the ones you cannot come back for.
The exception is the launch pickup banner, where pre-registration hands you extra pulls specifically for it. Those are free and expire, so use them.
