Pekka improvement

Since it seems lots of people complain about Pekka, I figured I would try my hand at making it better. The changes are nothing major, just an AI improvement and some minor stat increases and a decrease in cost at some levels and a nerf to the Tesla Damage.


AI improvement: ignores walls while deciding what buildings to attack. After deciding attack target, if it is behind walls, it will attack the wall that the most troops are targeting that is adjacent to the target. They will also try to prioritize T junctions and X junctions.


Stat improvement:
Preferred Target: none
Attack type: Melee (Ground only)
Housing Space: 25
Training Time: 45 minutes
Movement Speed: 16
Attack Speed: 2.5
Barracks Level: 10
Range: 1.0 tiles


Lv. DPS DPA HP Cost
1 250 625 2,800 30,000
2 280 700 3,100 35,000
3 300 750 3,500 40,000
4 350 875 4,000 45,000


Tesla damage modifier: x1.5 instead of the previous x2


Tell me what you guys think? Too much or not enough to make it better?

I agree with the wall/targeting improvements, but a 1.5 times multiplier for teslas doesn't seem large enough. Maybe a 1.75 or a 1.8.

Hidden teslas already do a lot of damage even without the modifier. In fact, Air Defenses and Inferno Towers aside, they have the highest DPS of any defense in the game. With a 1.5 modifier, level 7 teslas will do 112.5 Ds and level 8 will do 130.5. I suppose an argument can be made to make the multiplier 1.75 though.

Bump. I'd like some more opinions on this

I still dont have pekkas so id ont know.
But base on what i have been watching, i think the pekka in the video of sc( the butterfly) is fast. But slow in the game.

It was apparently as slow as a giant at one time before being buffed to the speed of a barbarian.

The speed isn't the problem though. What people complain about with the Pekka is its terrible AI and the fact that between its cost, housing space, and training time it doesn't perform as well as it ought to. Supercell has tried to fix this by increasing the Pekka's stats and giving them a new level, but it hasn't worked.

Added a poll

I've never heard any complaints myself about the Pekka. I don't see a big problem with them honestly.
