Getting the best performance with Lemon Zest Cookie requires using the right built, espcially artifacts and gear. While the ‘best’ is quite obvious to pick, we also tested the alternatives for those players that simply don’t have the best possible artifacts and gear available (yet).
Before we start, please also see here how Lemon Zest Cookie performs in general among all cookies in CookieRun Tower of Adventures:

The BEST Build for Lemon Zest Cookie
Best Alternative Artifacts for Lemon Zest Cookie
For artifacts there is an interesting mechanic in play in CookieRun Tower of Adventure – you can freely use artifacts since they are not limited to certain classes or cookies. Of course, they are designed towards a certain cookie or class, but sometimes other artifacts also work really well – here are our test results with the other artifacts:
Piercing Light
Sunset Pursuit
Artistic Flourish
Warriors Oath
The Cradle of Courage
Aw Yeah Patrol Time
Wanted Crumbled or Alive
Best Equipment Items Each Slot) for Lemon Zest Cookie
Also for equipment there are many options you can use before upgrading a gear item. The secret here is not to use the gear that appears strongest, since upgrading the gear will be your bottleneck. Our strategy here gives you the best order of gear items you should use and how much to upgrade them to really make sense.
Best Weapon
Let’s start with the weapon slot.
Toothless Bread Knife - Level 1 is great, espcially when you pulled his artifact that gives higher crit damage constantly so even the small crit rate here does something with the amount of shots you will fire. I wouldn't upgrade it, though
Discolored Dagger - Level 1 has a lot more crit rate that you will love here. Also here I would not upgrade it and save the resources and keep it at Level 1 for now but with the amount of attacks you do the crit rate will be quite consistent and not too RNG overall
Outlaws Poker - Level 1 now we're really talking crit rate and paired with his artifact this actually will do quite some work against your targets. This blue gear is worth upgrading now looking at Lemon Zest Cookies kit and role at this stage of the game
Outlaws Poker - Level 30 upgrading this weapon is worth it since the crit rate in consistency make him your main damage dealer for the most parts at this point. No need to max it though and I think level 30 is enough to keep your stats viable until you get the epic weapon to use on him
Boomerang Candy - Level 1 unless you maxed out the Outlaw Poker, this is already at Level 1 an improvement in crit rate and for the most parts will do its job well
Boomerang Candy - Level 40 while waiting for his unique weapon, the crit rate will carry here and upgrading this weapon is so worth it. Now you have his artifact so you constantly hit really hard make a lot of hits with crits that make him a great damage dealing cookie agianst single targets or even multiple targets most of the time
Lightning Recurve - Level 1 here you start stepping a little away from critting a lot but the increased base damage make him a lot more reliable in dealing damage bottom line. It's like dealing a little less damage on hits compared to the crits before, but they are reliably happening all the time and looking at the results comparing the overall damage output, you will gain more constant damage that you can also rely on
Lightning Recurve - Max Maxiing his unique weapon out is for sure nothing to think about. Just scaling straight for attack and damage output this shouldn't be anything to think twice about
Best Headwear
Now let’s have a look at the hat slot:
Old-fashioned Cap - Level 1 is very likely the most stable uncommon headgear equipment for Lemon Zest Cookie but you can actually pick whatever you have since you will replace it very soon. No need to level it up
Apprentices Cone Cap - Level 1 is the common gear item we recommend for this slot. Also here, there is no real reason to invest into upgrading it since nothing is too special and you will replace it soon enough
Choco Cake Top Hat - Level 1 is the blue gear and considering the fact how much you will do with it this is the first headgear item you actually should level up to some degree
Choco Cake Top Hat - Level 30-40 this is an upgrade that makes sense but I wouldn't recommend maxing it out completely. The stats scale well with the kit

Best Bodywear
Now let’s have a look at the chest slot:
Warm Brown Sweater - Level 1 in terms of stats this makes most sense but you would only use this really early and swap out soon so don't beat yourself up if you don't use it
Hardened Chocoleather Armor - Level 1 is the green gear item that makes most sense here with her. I also wouldn't really bother upgrading it to be honest since the stats you gain are quite small and you will not use it for too long
Adventurers Tunic - Level 1 here we get some crit rate and like the other lower-rarity gear items here with her crit rate makes sense to make sure you get as many crit hits as possibly in at this stage when you use Lemon Zest Cookie before transitioning a little bit to other stats later
Black Gothic Dress - Level 1 is another good crit rate gear item that you want and this will be used for quite a while and make her perform so well in the medium stages of the game. Please make sure to follow my upgrade level recommendation below!

Best Legwear
Now let’s have a look at the legs slot:
Easy Jeans - Level 1 are alright and the only common legwear gear that have ATK on them so use them. I wouldn't upgrade them, though
Hardwood Shin Guards - Level 1 are a nice improvement in ATK compared to the common ones and the ones you will wear quite a bit
Hardwood Shin Guards - Level 30 I recommend to max them out since there is no blue gear that makes sense in terms of making a huge improvement and you will end up spend quite some resources upgrading for a tiny effect. There is some incredible epic option you're relly looking for
Dark Assassin Pants - Level 1 is something you can use and the reason is that you will build the other gear, if you follow my recommendations, to a crit rate where this actually helps. If not, you can actually get away not getting any epic pants and run the green ones for a long time
