Shadow Milk Cookie skills and abilities in Cookie Run Kingdom, explained
Shadow Milk is a magic type cookie that stands in the middle row during all mini and major fights. His main Puppetry skill selects the enemy with the lowest health (except Safeguard) and sends creepy dolls to orbit them. These dolls then weaken the cookie and its nearby friends. When his turn ends, he finishes with a Grand Finale that hits all enemy cakes.
If the target cookie is defeated before the Puppet Show ends, he summons a Soul Phantom (which is a ghost character) in their place. That ghost stores the damage it takes and then throws it back at enemies.
That said, Shadow Milk also drops an Eye of Truth at the start of the match, which is his passive skill. This eye recharges every time your team gets any debuffs or he uses his skills. Once cycled four times, it removes all negative effects from your team and buffs this trickster.
The unique thing to note here is that even if Shadow Milk is taken down, he comes back in shadow formand during this time his max health increases greatly, along with his resistance to both direct and indirect damage. His Eye of Truth ability also changes to Eye of Deceitwhich adds extra damage, provides some self-healing, and refreshes its Taint effect.

Best toppings for Shadow Milk Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom
Since this cake is quite unique and super handy, the right construction can make him even more effective. The Best Topping for Shadow Milk Cookie i Cookie Run Kingdom is definitely Deceitful Chocolate. Ideally, you'd want to use a full set and equip five Deceitful Chocolates in each slot. Shadow Milk has an 11-second cooldown, making him a bit slow to charge in battles and limiting his potential.
However, using these blue toppings will not only reduce the cooldown of his ability, but also give higher bonus stats when upgraded, making Deceitful Chocolate surpass the regular Swift Chocolate version.
For those who don't know, these blue Deceitful Toppings can be obtained through Mysterious Toppingswhich are readily available in the Event Shop or Catnip Shops. A single Mysterious Topping costs 1,500 crystals in the Event Shop, which may feel a bit expensive for fans who regularly spend on Gacha moves and other in-game mechanics.
If you're low on gems, you can use the active one CRK codes listed here for a quick refill, or try other ways to get crystals. As for Catnip Shops, you can find them under special sections, so this method is exclusive to players who have already progressed in the game. Just be sure to claim the Deceitful variant when you open the Mysterious Toppings.
Shadow Milk's total power can easily exceed a million, with over 170 ATK when played smartly, meaning he can crush almost any opponent. To improve the damage of this jester cake, Fraudulent raspberries is your best option. As mentioned before, simply equip five blue raspberry toppings.
Gamers who cannot afford these premium bits can also opt for the Searing Raspberry M for now. If you want to squeeze more value out of Shadow Milk's buffs, five units off Sweet Candy M are worth considering.
Upgrading toppings to max level (12 as of now) with the best sub-stats is equally important to making Shadow Milk the ultimate beast (focus on ATK, Cooldown and DMG Resist). Since these are randomly assigned toppings, it's worth buying more Deceitful variants to hunt down the perfect combination. Don't forget to max and promote the cake as you collect its soul stones to make it truly unstoppable.

Best cakes and biscuits for Shadow Milk Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom
Your cake must complement the toppings you use on Shadow Milk, as they increase the main stat by six times. Like toppings, they also come in three types: Common (XS), Rare (S) and Epic (M). Here are the suggested options depending on your preference:
- Swift Chocolate Tart M (with the Deceitful Chocolate set)
- Burning raspberry cake M (when using all Deceitful Raspberry)
- Sweet Candy Tart M (when you want to focus on buffs)
If you are unsure how to get these cakes, just go to Into the Depths (check out this guide on unlocking mines if you haven't already), then enter the Workshop section and create the epic ones with 1 Butterberry Stone + 20 Sugar Ores + 200 Flour Stones (all you get from bets and mining). The results will also be randomized, so you'll have to burn through resources to land chocolate, raspberry, or any other cake you want.
As for Beascuits, the best for Shadow Milk i Cookie Run Kingdom is the legendary Zesty Beascuit. It pairs well with Swift Chocolate, scaling his cooldown stat even more. Also, it's the only Beascuit made for magical cookies like him. Aim for ATK and HP as its primary stats, then DMG Resist, Cooldown and ATK as additional. You can always reset Beascuit to get the stats you want.
