Yes it really can. Check the stats. Perhaps they wouldn't get that close but it is an illustration of exactly how strong they are. So since you think it is such a dumb idea, what do you use in your CC?

uhh, it wouldnt be the best option. She does have high hp, but with her slow attack speed, she wont really be as effective as say, a drag or loons. But a max pekka could probably take down a golem in a few hits, so its up to u
It will only work well for super queen. In a golem base raid, the pekka would go after the golems in front and draw focus fire from the wiz behind, pretty much one shot kill. Pekka would be useless against laloon, but could be very useful in helping to kill royals if they drop royals for th (ie th10 raid).
It would certainly be interesting to see though I'm skeptical of their usefulness as a defensive CC unit.
Hound/Loon or Drag/Loons is still infinitely better and in general useful in any scenario whereas the Pekka would not be (i.e. any air attack).
And for war in the event it works the first time, it's easily dealt with on second attack once they know it's there and the surprise factor is over.
Still, on a cup base might be interesting to try out and gain a few surprises on your attacker as everyone pretty much expects a Hound or Drag/Loon variations.
I prefer Valkyries, can have more and can do splash damage
I prefer Hounds or Dragons, Hounds especially because they can last forever and seriously slow down enemy attacks with distractions. Not to mention the explosion upon death does a significant amount of damage and spawns a bunch of small distractions. Pekka to me seems like it would be pointless unless you make your CC absolutely unlureable. It would be really easy to isolate and kill. Yes it could 1 shot a queen, but what stupid attacker would drop his queen right in front of a pekka?
i tottaly agreee. but now as poison hass entered we need troops with high hp
Sure, it can take out a level 15 Queen, but is it EVER going to get to her? The answer is no. The queen stays back from all the action, and the pekka would end up targeting one golem and a bunch of wizards would take it out in 2 seconds. If you want a more tanky unit, use a lava hound or golem, or if you only have 25 space, use a drag and a balloon, but not a P.E.K.K.A. It's too slow and doesn't have enough time to distract troops or cause any damage.
