Leveling Up and Star Jellies
Leveling up is the most effective method of increasing a Cookie's Power Level, improving their overall effectiveness in combat gameplay.
For a Cookie to level up, they must gain Experience Points. While most modes will grant a small amount of these, the most efficient method of leveling up a Cookie is through feeding them EXP Star Jellies. Cookie Houses are the most reliable source of EXP Star Jellies for a player, although almost every feature and game mode will also reward them" the Fountain of Abundance, World Exploration, the Tower of Sweet Chaos, Kingdom Pass Landmarks, shops such as the Medal Shop or Mileage Exchange, and more.
The amount of Experience Points given by a Star Jelly depends on the Jelly's Level, with these levels ranging from 1 to 8, and their respective given Experience increasing exponentially at higher levels. However, as a Cookie's Level raises higher, the required Experience Points to gain more levels increases as well. Thus, increasing a Cookie's Level becomes more difficult at higher levels, plateauing at levels 50-60. Cookies can also be leveled up to a certain level using Star Jelly Concentrates, with there existing Level 50, 60, 70, and 80 Concentrates, automatically leveling up the cookie to the respective level.
At launch, the maximum Level that a Cookie could reach was Level 50. As of Version 5.0, The current maximum Level is 80.

There is a Desmos Graph representing total XP requirements for each level based on the table above.
Soulstones and Promotion
Soulstones are a pseudo-currency used to unlock and promote Cookies, increasing their base HP, ATK, and DEF. Soulstones can be obtained from the Cookie Gacha, shops, Event rewards, certain World Exploration Dark Mode Stages, various Landmarks, and more.
If a full Cookie has not been pulled, collecting at least 20 of the Cookie's Soulstones will allow them to be unlocked immediately as if being drawn from a Gacha. Conversely, drawing a duplicate Cookie will instead give the player 20 of the Cookie's Soulstones as compensation. Finally, if a Cookie is fully promoted to 5 stars, drawing them or their Soulstones will instead give the player their Soulcores and Mileage Points, with the exact value of points per Soulstone varying depending on the Cookie's Rarity.
The promotion of Cookies requires progressively more Soulstones with each Rank. 290 Soulstones total are required to promote a Cookie throughout every Rank, with the exception of Special Cookies. Since the Braver Together! update, Special Cookies only require 190 Soulstones.

Soulcores and Ascension
Similarly to Soulstones, Soulcores are a pseudo-currency used to ascend Cookies after they reach their maximum promotion, increasing their base HP, ATK, and DEF. Soulcores can be obtained from the Cookie Gacha and shops after fully promoting a Cookie, as well as in certain World Exploration Master Mode Stages. If a Cookie is ascended to 5 stars, obtaining the Cookies or their Soulcores will give the player Mileage Points similar to Soulstones, but also, Soul Essence of the corresponding rarity.
Ascending Cookies will also require Soul Essence which in Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarities. Soul Essence can be obtained in both Dark and Master mode as well as the Mileage Shop and packages. Different rarities of Cookies will require different amounts of Soul Essence to ascend.

Beast Cookies and Awakening
Beast Cookies have slightly unique requirements for promotion. Due to the existence of ★6 grade and lack of ascension, Beast Cookies require both Soulstones and (from ★2 onward) Legendary Soul Essence, to promote to the next grade. A total of 540 Soulstones and 290 Legendary Soul Essence is required to fully promote a Beast Cookie.
Awakening works in a similar way, but require lesser amount of items. Awakening requires Soulprisms, a pseudo-currency used to awaken Ancient Cookies. Awakening has a separate grade from Cookie grade, so awakened Ancient Cookies are still able to continue their promotion and/or ascension. A total of 260 Soulprisms and 160 Legendary Soul Essence is required to fully awaken an Ancient Cookie.
Awakening permanently changes the Cookie's appearance, skill, voice lines and lobby design. Both Beast Cookies and awakened Ancient Cookies will gain slight changes in their appearance and lobby design, and have more voice lines added at ★2, ★4 and ★6.
Skills and Skill Powder
A Cookie's Skill is their unique special combat ability—specifically, an action that can only be performed when its Cooldown is cleared. Skills range in utility from being offensive to defensive, as many Skills have effects such as healing, Buffs for teammates, Debuffs for enemies, and so on.
A Cookie's Skill has its own dedicated Level, requiring Coins and Skill Powder to raise. Raising this Skill Level increases the effectiveness of the Skill by improving one or more of its specific numerical stats. However, a Cookie's Skill Level value cannot exceed their Cookie Level value; thus, a Cookie's Level has to be increased before its Skill Level can also be increased. (For example, if a Cookie's Level is Lv. 10, then their Skill Level can only be raised up to Lv. 10.)
The amount of Skill Powder needed to enhance a Skill Level depends on both the current Skill Level and the Class of the Cookie. Skill Levels 1-20 require standard Powder, 21-40 require Refined Powder, and 41-60 require Pristine Powder. The Powder must match the Class of the chosen Cookie, with each Class having their own varieties of standard, Refined, and Pristine Powder. For instance, if one were to increase the Skill Level of Rye Cookie, a Ranged Cookie, from Lv.29 to Lv.30, they they would need 5 Refined Ranged Powder and 7,400 Coins.
The most efficient way to acquire Skill Powder is through completing Today's Bounties. Skill Powder can also be acquired from the Medal Shop, Trading Port/Seaside Market, Rainbow Shell Gallery, and specific World Exploration stages.
