CC Advanced Combo Guide

This is a list of common combos and common execution for said combos, some obscure/rare combos or ways to execute these are not mentioned even if possible. No "garden combos" are included because they are weaker than click combos, so they are rarely used effectively. Combos mentioned are for play without savescumming or add-ons.

https://pastebin.com/C5QuLWKA This guide is simpler and explains some terms used here.

General Force the Hand of Fate usage: Click Frenzy is generally gotten from FtHoF because it has skewed probabilities to give that ~25% of the time on a success (prevented if Dragonflight is active when cast). Building Special is a bit rare at ~5%. Elder frenzy is even more rare at 2.25% from a backfire, so typically you want to "scry" the rarer outcomes if going for them from FtHoF in a combo.

General nat Golden Cookie usage: Frenzy is incredibly easy to get naturally, so this will be included in almost all combos. After the three golden cookie upgrades are purchased, you also get enough overlap to get nat golden cookies during the frenzy. With golden clovers or golden clovers/nursetulips (alternating rows) you can get golden cookies fast enough to get a frenzy, dragon harvest and a third natural buff during them, and possibly a fourth natural during them if the third buff is a building special. Dragon Harvest can also be used as a substitute for Frenzy.

Aura usage: If non-CpS auras are used you can switch to Radiant Appetite + Breath of Milk when a combo is gotten, or either if you don't have secondary aura. In some stages of the game though, Elder Battalion will be better than Breath of Milk even after selling to godzamok. If you've gotten a click frenzy in the combo and have several unclicked FtHoF GCs, you can instead of clicking them keep them onscreen in conjunction with the dragon's fortune aura instead of breath of milk as a more consistent strategy. Dragon Orbs aura can only be used if godzamok isn't slotted, and for that reason if that aura is used vomitrax tends to be used in diamond until you get a combo, in which case godzamok is swapped back. Dragon Orbs is useful for getting frenzy to save a bit of time, as well as to get smaller combos, like getting natural elder frenzy. You may want to swap auras before clicking the dragon orbs cookie to save time on execution and/or minmax. If dragonflight or dragon harvest is used, they need to be slotted at the moment of clicking the natural/dragon orbs golden cookie to have a chance to be gotten. Supreme Intellect can in some specific cases be used to be able to cast more spells during a combo, notably Diminish Ineptitude to decrease the backfire rate more than Supreme Intellect increases it.

Golden switch, loans, Sugar frenzy: Golden switch, despite being geared towards idle players, can be used in the middle of a combo after the last natural GC has spawned to earn more from the combo. It does not prevent Force the Hand of Fate casts, but you need to be able to afford it with the buffed CpS. Loans (from the bank minigame) are typically used after Golden Switch to not make Golden switch harder to afford, but only if it is the last combo of the ascension (although loan 2 could possibly be used on other combos as well since the recharge is quite short). Sugar frenzy is used after you are sure that the combo is large enough to be worth spending a sugar lump on (how much you value sugar lumps relative to cookies depends on person).

Godzamok: Recommended in diamond. Sell buildings with negligible CpS/synergy when you get a combo. A slightly advanced strategy is slotting mokalsium into diamond immediately after selling before starting to click, if you use this you don't sell temples as you need to access the minigame.

Scrying: Casting Gambler's fever dream to find out about what the next spell cast will give. If gambler's fever dream casts Force the Hand of Fate the outcome of that GC is considered "scried". Casting Force the Hand of Fate as the next spell will yield the same outcome, assuming season is not switched into or out of valentines/easter and no other spells has been cast. A backfire will remain the same outcome only if Force the Hand of Fate is still a backfire at the reduced backfire chance. This can be "confirmed" by clicking Resurrect Abomintaion outside of grandmapocalypse, as this tells you whether the spell backfired or not without casting the spell.

Dualcasting/Quadcasting/Hexacasting: Casting Force the Hand of Fate twice by casting it while having a lot of wizard towers, and selling to a point where you can cast it again as the cost is reduced as maximum magic is reduced. Buying back and refilling with a sugar lump again allows you to dualcast again, effectively quadcasting. Another dualcast can be performed by resetting sugar lump refill cooldowns with a caramelized sugar lump harvest after quadcasting, to effectively hexacast. This is not often used due to the rarity of caramelized sugar lumps.

Dragonflight: To get Dragonflight and Click Frenzy together, you need to cast Force the Hand of Fate before getting a natural GC (you can only get DF from natural GCs), and then click the natural GC followed by the FtHoF GC which hopefully results in a DF+CF. If done in the reverse order the DF has 80% chance of ending the Click Frenzy. If FtHoF is cast after getting the Dragonflight, you cannot get Click Frenzy from the FtHoF cast. FtHoF can be cast after the natural spawns but before it is clicked, but it has 15% higher chance of backfiring.

Distilled Essence of Redoubled Luck and Golden Cookie Fortune: These are too inconsistent to incorporate into combos easily, but if gotten they can be used to possibly get another building special in the combo or increase the chance of getting another buff that is integral to the combo. (Golden Cookie Fortune is the Fortune which spawns a golden cookie, that reads "Today is your lucky day!")

F + CF
The simplest of good combos. Can be gotten earlygame naturally or from FtHoF.
Nat GC: F, maybe CF
FtHoF GC: CF

BS + CF
A nice alternative to F+CF if you've got more than 60 buildings of the chosen type.
Nat GC: BS
FtHoF GC: CF

F + DF
Can be used in midgame while the game is very fast or while you can't cast Force the Hand of Fate.
Nat GC: F and DF

EF + CF
Speed is required, as Elder Frenzy lasts for a very short time. You should be prepared when clicking wraths cookies. Dualcasting is difficult to perform fast enough in EF related combos.
Nat GC: EF
FtHoF GC: CF

F + EF + CF
Can be gotten by going in and out of grandmapocalypse, which is done by buying Elder Pledge to get out of grandmapocalypse and then returning by buying Elder Covenant and Revoke Elder Covenant (to cancel the pledge). While outside of grandmapocalypse you get a Frenzy, and go back in to hopefully get an Elder Frenzy during it.
Nat GC: F and EF
FtHoF GC: CF

F + BS + CF
A quite basic combo, but solid in many parts of the game, either as a strong combo or a "setup combo" to afford golden switch and planting midcombo in more advanced combos.
Nat GC: F and BS, possibly CF
FtHoF GC: CF

F + DH + CF
An alternative to the previous combo.
Nat GC: F and DH, possibly CF
FtHoF GC: CF

F + 2BS + CF
A solid combo when you get lucky to get BS from FtHoF. Generally you only want to quadcast for this if you get a BS on the dualcast but no CF.
Nat GC: F and BS
FtHoF GC: BS and CF

F + DH + BS + CF
Often used as a very strong 100% consistency combo. Generally gotten with golden clovers, and usually quadcasted for 4 golden cookies onscreen for dragon's fortune (as you get a fourth nat during the BS, which isn't clicked for a consistently better combo)
Nat GC: F, DH, and BS
FtHoF GC: (scried) CF

F + DH + 2BS + CF
Usually gotten when you don't have scried CF or you have a scried BS, dualcasting/quadcasting on a F+DH+BS. scried BS is worse than a scried EF, but much more common, so this combo can be done when you don't want to wait for a scried EF or get lucky with casts while nothing is scried.
Nat GC: F, DH, and BS
FtHoF GC: (scried) BS, CF

F + DH + BS + EF + CF
A good combo you can get if you fail to get a Dragonflight when you try for F+DH+BS+EF+CF+DF (as described later) with a scried EF. You need to get lucky to get a CF from the quadcast, so it is slightly inconsistent, but there is a reasonable chance to get it.
Nat GC: F, DH, and BS
FtHoF GC: (scried) EF, CF

F + DH + BS + EF + DF
Another good combo you can get if you fail to get F+DH+BS+EF+CF+DF (as described later) with a scried EF. In this case no CF was gotten but the Dragonflight was.
Nat GC: F, DH, BS, and DF
FtHoF GC: (scried) EF

F + DH + BS + CF + DF
The 100% consistency combo, except with dragonflight. As CF cannot be gotten from FtHoF while DF is active, you must make the casts before clicking the fourth nat. You must however click the FtHoF GCs after clicking the fourth nat as otherwise the dragonflight may end the click frenzy early. This will result in normally having 3 golden cookies onscreen instead of 4, if using dragon's fortune.
Nat GC: F, DH, BS, and DF
FtHoF GC: (scried) CF

F + DH + 2BS + CF + DF
The same as the F+DH+2BS+CF combos except with dragonflight, instead of leaving the fourth nat onscreen for dragon's fortune you click it in hopes for dragonflight. Slightly more common and consistent than the F+DH+BS+EF+CF+DF combo as you can click the BS immediately upon cast, making the other FtHoF GCs have a bit higher chance of success. It is however weaker than that combo.
Nat GC: F, DH, BS, and DF
FtHoF GC: (scried) BS, CF

F + DH + BS + EF + CF + DF
The holy grail of noscum. This is usually what you go for with an EF scry, although you rarely get the DF but hopefully gets the CF for a F+DH+BS+EF+CF. At worst you only get F+DH+BS+EF, making it a bit too risky to go for if more consistent combos would give a reasonable amount of cookies. As this combo is incredibly strong and still moderately reasonable to achieve, it tends to be the strongest combo you go for without savescumming or add-ons. It (among two other combos) is more thoroughly described here: https://pastebin.com/bMHEJ3R9
Nat GC: F, DH, BS, and DF
FtHoF GC: (scried) EF, CF
