Pekka is in need for a buff

What community thinks? Does Pekka need a buff or not?

I for myself think Pekka is one of the weakest troops per troop space. Why? Teslas.

Pekka is not worth to be put inside a base if you are aiming for three stars.

She's a good troop for two starring, but it ends here, she sucks at everything else.

I don't want Pekka to become overpowered, so, what I suggest:
- Pekka attack inverval reduced by half(?).
- Pekka movement speed buffs.

That way she may be worth for more things rather than a Town Hall destroyer.

Before building HP buffs level 3 PEKKA could OHK level 11 Gold Mine/Elixir Extractors, now even level 5 PEKKA can't OHK level 12 mines/extractors. Level 3 PEKKA could OHK level 10 cannons and archer towers, not anymore.

What's the point of having so much damage per hit if SC keeps bumping HP just a bit higher than PEKKA can OHK?

Thanks for the great post Yoyobuae.

every troop has strength and weaknesses. the pekka is fine the way it is

gowipe is honestly too easy of an attack to really be a three-star strategy, if it was wars would be nothing but gowipe, gowipe, and more gowipe. pekkas are fine

I believe that pekka is good as it is right now with high hitpoints which make her tanky and offensively is a beast. Ok shes move slow and attacks even slower but anything more than that would make her overpowered.

She needs some training to stay in the house(base) rather roam around the hood

i think she is fine as is, maybe the one suggestion would be to make level 4 available at TH9. Any reason why she isn't?

She doesn't roam if you give her a proper funnel. Spam drop all your wiz and destroy everything in front, be late on deploy of her, or late on deploy of wallbreakers- and yeah, she will go grocery shopping.

Thats a good point about the damage per hit - I see her hit a number of buildings now and get them down to being almost destroyed, but not quite. That's a rather substantial waste when her windup for the next swing is so protracted and she's doing so much spill over damage on the second hit.

Overall though, I would say that my experience as a TH10 is that maxed PEKKAs are truly devastating against newer TH10's, but they lose their luster against maxed bases. The hit points just don't quite hold up to the damage scaling that mature defenses are putting out these days.

Basically, the worse the base the more likely I am to bring PEKKAs in my GOWI, but against a fully maxed base with multis I generally only really bring Golems and Wizards for a pure hammer and anvil effect (not counting the flotsam of breakers, stray archers to snipe outbuildings and so on).

But, its an iconic unit with a lot of style, so I hope it always remains relevant as the updates continue.

Exactly:

• Level 4 PEKKA does 850 damage per hit:
  
  • Gold Mine level 11 raised to 860 HP
  
  
• Level 5 PEKKA does 950 damage per hit:
  
  • Gold Mine level 12 raised to 960 HP
  • Archer tower level 12 raised to 970 HP
  • Canon level 10 raised to 960 HP
  
  

:rolleyes:

What's next, level 13 cannon raised to 1297 HP?
