Defenses with 'favourite targets'?

So it came up in my clan that all defenses have the same layout when it comes to clicking the 'info' icon. I don't know about other players, but i personally never look at this other than to check the DPS of a tower, for example. However, a new player to the game joined our clan and pointed out a fact that we, as 'experienced' clashers, quickly disclaimed.

He asked if tesla towers target pekkas more often than other troops, or not.

He painted a scenario where if there was a group of say 20 barbarians, with 1 pekka, would the tesla tower single out the pekka since its it's 'favourite target'.
The scenario doesn't seem that far fetched (through the eyes of a new player). I mean you start a new game and you read pretty much everything but, as a veteran clasher, we pretty much assume we know most; if not everything.

This obviously started a discussion as to whether or not other defenses should have 'favourite targets'. Looking at it - but never taking much notice - all defenses have a 'favourite target' slot on their info but all say 'any'. Apart from the giant bomb, which does bonus damage to hogs, poor guys..

This would change the game entirely, which i don't think it needs, but others seem to think this game could do with something game changing again. Yes war was fun..was, now it's just the same thing over..and over. Maybe tournaments will be introduced but, either way, war will still be the same.

I personally don't think defenses should have a favourite target, ignoring other troops to focus on another if it's in radius, but mayyybeee picking a defense to favour heroes as a target wouldn't be such a bad idea?

Thoughts fellow clashers? And thanks in advance :)

Yes, the PEKKA will be priorized and will be shot at first.

• Although the Hidden Tesla prioritizes P.E.K.K.As, if it is attacking another troop and a P.E.K.K.A enters its range, it will not attack the P.E.K.K.A until the troop it is attacking is destroyed.

Nope...teslas attack nearest troop until it is dead....they just do double damage to pekka...

No defense targeting heroes is bad.

Noooooo!

My AQ has enough problems as it is. She genuinely believes that the Air Defense could do some serious damage to her. Why else would she chose to ignore the inferno frying her and take out the AD instead?

What defense do you think should target the heroes?

If i had to pick i think it'd have to be a point defense? I'd go with cannon since an xbow/inferno would be too OP, splash doesn't do much damage to heroes anyway and archer towers, being able to attack air, would become quite powerful as a result.

Wrong, In addition to doing double damage, they will attack a pekka in range even if its not the closest attacker

Haha not a defense that targets heroes exclusively. Just in the same way that a tesla targets a pekka; its prefered target. It would still hit all other troops the same, just when a hero enters its radius would it favour attacking the hero instead. :)
