One of the first things you do after Ascending in Cookie Clicker is to train your dragon, aka, Krumblor. By sacrificing buildings, you can equip a “dragon aura” that will give you various bonuses, but which dragon aura is the best? Well, here I am to answer that question.
To answer quickly, the best Krumblor dragon aura is Radiant Appetite. Radiant Appetite doubles your cookie production and therefore bolsters your cookies per second and your cookies clicked (if you have the upgrade).
But, the answer isn’t really as simple as one aura being the absolute best. That’s because some (not all) of the auras are situational based on how you play the game. If you’re an active cookie clicker and actively look for Golden Cookies or spend time actually clicking, you will find more value out of other dragon auras.
Because of this, I am going to go over most of the good auras in Cookie Clicker and when you might use them.
Best Dragon Aura for AFK
The best dragon aura for AFK players or idle Cookie Clicker players is Radiant Appetite, followed closely by Breath of Milk. These two auras provide the best cookies per second for players who aren’t actively clicking.
The above image is from the cookie clicker wiki and shows the effect of Breath of Milk with each kitten upgrade. Once you have just some of the upgrades for Breath of Milk you can start to see a 30% increase to your cookies per second! This chart is outdated (doesn’t have a lot of the more expensive kitten upgrades like analysts or executives) so you can go even higher than a 30% increase depending on how far you are in the game!
Radiant Appetite is a much simpler aura to explain. It just doubles your cookie production.
If you have the final upgrade for Krumblor that allows you to take two auras at once put both of these on.
Best Dragon Aura for Golden Cookies
The best dragon aura for Golden Cookies (aka the active strategy) is Dragon Flight. Dragon Flight gives you a chance for a Golden Cookie to trigger a Dragon Flight (confusing right) which boosts cookies clicked by 1,111 for a short period (essentially a Click Frenzy on crack).
The chance for a Dragon Flight to happen is about 19%, but if you have a Grandmapocalypse the chance decreases to a mere 5% chance (due to other effects being added to the pool). It is still worth it depending on the stage of the Grandmapocalypse, if only because Golden Cookie combos are broken.
When you stack Dragon Flight with something like Frenzy (multiplies your cookie production by 7) you can get days’ worth of cookie production in less than 20 seconds. It is absolutely insane. For this reason, Dragon Flight is the best dragon aura for an active cookie-clicker player.
If you have the fully trained Krumblor make sure to put on Radiant Appetite as well.
End
And that’s it. Those are the best dragon auras for Krumblor. I will add to this guide if more information is needed or when things get updated. Until then good luck clicking cookies!
