CookieRun: Crumble EXP Dungeon Guide
The fastest way to level cookies — once you know the schedule.
Unlock & basics
The EXP Dungeon opens after you clear Stage 6-10 in story mode. Each run costs stamina and pays Cookie Level EXP by tier — higher difficulty tiers have dramatically better EXP-per-stamina, so always push the highest tier you can clear.
Smart sweeping
- Sweep, don't replay. Sweep tickets skip the fight for identical rewards — replaying manually wastes your time for zero bonus.
- Match your roster needs. Only farm EXP tiers when you have new cookies to level; otherwise shift stamina to the Rune Dungeon.
- Watch for double-drop days. Weekend rotations rotate bonus dungeons — burning stamina on a 2× day nearly halves your real cost.
- Front-load new cookies. A fresh Legendary at level 1 loses you Auto Hunt speed; level it the day you pull it.
Leveling priorities
Carry first, healer second, tank last. Your DPS scales every fight (see the tier list for who); Cool Mint's heals are percentage-based so she stays effective while under-leveled; Milk mostly needs to survive one hit, not max level.
Pair this with Auto Hunt — overnight hunts feed the stamina and Gold that dungeons convert into levels. Full loop in the Auto Hunt guide.
