Imporve the pekka

[AlanMoe]

the attacker was clearly stupid and has no idea how to use pekkas. pekkas have the exact same AI as the BK and barbs, just u don't have 20 barbs to spam, only a couple pekkas. so if 2 barbs be stupid, no big problem, but those 2 barbs could be 2 pekkas and go around. he placed his spells terribly, and it was just a fail u cant defend urself, the attacker was dumb

I know he was so dumb but even inside there where 3 xbows and 2 inferno towers 2 teslas ( the other 2 where being upgraded ) so pekkas would of died even faster than being outside clearing trash and did you see those balloons they were level 3 and look how fast they killed the pekkas do you imagine they were level 6 they would of blown all those pekkas in only 20 seconds and pekkas almost didn't get hit by the teslas because when teslas were killing them the pekkas got away and the other one in the army camps was obviously gonna die because there was a level 6 tesla a level 9 archer tower a level 2 inferno and a level 7 wizard so even being super smart the pekkas would of died even if the heal spells where used correctly

AlanMoe: The only reason you made is thread is because you are pretty much complaining about how you can't use PEKKAS right. All you are doing is trying to find a reason why they need to be buffed. There is a reason why they don't have a lot of HP. In fact, it is very balanced.

1: You complained about housing space and training time.
Since PEKKAS are the last unlocked troops, they obviously won't take 15 minutes. If Dragons take 30m, it wouldn't make sense that the most powerful troop takes 15m. For housing space, there isn't a problem with it. The strongest troop in the Barracks can't take up 10 spaces. This will never change.

2: You complain how they always go around buildings.
Like the 20 people that you ignore, you don't use them right. Just listen to the people, they are right. In fact, their tactics work. Just use other troops to clear the way, and a few to clean up the sides, then drop in a PEKKA(S). If you do this CORRECTLY, you'll more than likely 3-Star. And even though I'm TH7, I know lots about the troops. I got attacked by PEKKAS plenty of times, and they used people's strategies on this forum.

3: You complain about Teslas doing double damage.
This one by far is the worst complaint. Think of how Air Defences purpose is to do much damage to Air Troops. Now a Level 4 AD does 160. Fair enough. Now take a Tesla. 34 DPS with high rate of fire. Obviously, pretty powerful, but each defense has a purpose. Cannons for standard troops, AT for picking off, AD for Air, Mortars for Tier 1, Wizards for Tier 1. Now, PEKKAS balance comes here. If PEKKAS didn't have a 2x weakness, they'd be by far Overpowered. In fact, that'd make it superior to any defense. As far as Inferno Towers go, they do more damage over time.
Someone close this thread, as it has gone on too long with many consequences.

Its not that I don't know how to use them it's that pekkas are terrible and people just keeps saying clean the outside buildings and you will win if so easy then bring me a replay with pekkas on a TH 10 with inferno towers and you will see that they are terrible

I know they are the last troop but look at witches golem costs more and takes more housing space and witch is unlocked after golem and housing is smaller and cost is less so that is just an excuse to prove me wrong but I'm right pekkas are terrible they are totally useless

yes I do hear them they just say clear the outside buildings I do that but even inside they get killed by clan castle troops or teslas or inferno tower and anyways why wasting 30 troops to make path for a useless troop when instead can put a troop that can guide itself without clearing you are a townhall 7 of course pekkas will wreck your village but won't win on a TH 10

I like that teslas do double damage because that is logic because of its metal armor electricity pierces armor and pekkas wouldn't be overpowered even with no double damage if defense is going to increase then offense should be increased leave the teslas alone IMPROVE THE PEKKAS teslas will be the balance for the pekkas improvement maybe the level 8 tesla that will do 200 damage will do the balance maybe with a new trap

why close the thread? It's not against the forum rules and just because saying to improve the pekka they should close the thread?

Well I hope pekka gets improved if you want to take a look on the pekka fail I just posted a video here in this thread if you want to see how terrible pekkas are

Even with this amount of people telling you that you are wrong for various reasons you still persist? Man, you must really hate PEKKAs and how they behave. Points for stubbornness, this thread can potentially break 100 pages one day.

Not much else to add, but oh man you're a fighter

And having been owned in masters by GoWiPe I think they're performing quite nicely when used right. Granted I'm only TH9 for another few days, but still - a golem won't perform much better than a PEKKA against sITs - I know the golem splits into golemites, but all DE troops have their own perks, after all. And the golem does negligible damage.

[Nmills]

There is nothing wrong with the Pekka, they are an efective troop if you know how to use them(normaly a gowipe). The only problem is they dont see much use anymore as people who once used them have started to ignore pekka out and add in witches(gowiwi). Or set the gowipe completely aside for hogs. the pekka isnt a weak troop, it's just most people dont realy care about them any more.

[Tonedidit]

I'm sure if pekkas flew and couldnt be attacked some ppl would probably still complain, IMHO i think they are fine

[rjdofu]

They should tweak the attack stas. She's too damn slow. How about turning her into a troop with crazy attack speed (she has 2 swords for goodness sake) with lower damage per hit (to maintain the DPS)?

In gowipe the pekka doesnt really works in champion they fill those 25 housing with wizards instead of that useless troop lets just say that the HP of the pekka does not count ( can be taken out easily ) but damage better fill it with wizards that does like 800 damage per second and with a higher rate
Pekkas are useless even if used correctly they might get targeted by a tesla or inferno by accident and bye bye while with a smaller troop the troop gets shot by accident but no need to worry it was just 1 housing space while pekka if gets shot 25 troops lost
I'm sure they can improve them and balance them like the hog riders

If pekkas could fly it would be like no more outside buildings because it would get inside walls instead of wasting more troops to prevent of going around the base if pekkas could fly it would be like a stronger dragon so flying would make them a bit op because if pekka a are ground and they could target defenses they would need jump spells to keep them fighting that would be the new strategy with the pekkas with his new AI of targeting defenses and could be balanced and also even targeting defenses wouldn't be OP the teslas would be like the air defenses for them and it would be like using dragons with rage spells ( damage ) and heal spells ( HP ) because pekkas can't fly so using jump spells ( fly ) and that would be like using dragons with heal and rage spells if this gets too overpowered then supercell could add level 8 teslas and a new deadly trap called mine so that would balance the troop
seriously also stop just saying " no no no no no no pekkas are already overpowered if used correctly just clear the outside buildings and pekka will win " if so easy give me a replay on a TH 10 with inferno towers and bring it here and let's see the pekkas getting melted by the inferno tower

[ElCrabbo]

AlanMoe, listen to the people, how many people have replied to this thread, about 50. And about 90% of these people find nothing wrong with the PEKKA, this suggests that you are using them wrong. Now stop being stubborn and listen to what the majority have to say.

[InvaderGir]

I'm with stupid.

The situation you're all claiming is ideal for deploying PEKKA--sides cleared, walls broken--does NOT require a PEKKA. That's why they're a waste of housing space and elixir.

So your archers and wizards have taken out the ring of barracks around the walls, shot out the defenses just behind the first ring, wallbreakers have broken a path, and giants/hogs are keeping the inner defenses busy. At this point you've nearly won already. At this point there are plenty of ways to spend 25 troops to finish the enemy off.

-5 Hog Riders, from the other side. They'd pick off the last few defenses and meet your force in the middle for looting.
-25 Archers. This depends on whether or not there are wizard towers left on the board
-6 wizards. We've established a path, and this is actually MORE firepower than the PEKKA's smash. (1,020DPS!)
-5 Balloons, if air defenses are gone. Deploy correctly.
-1 Dragon: Cheaper, quicker to make, and laughs in Tesla's face.

Think about it: The exact situation EVERYONE HERE says is the best time to use a PEKKA doesn't actually require a PEKKA because there are a multitude of other options that (might) use less housing space, are quicker to make, and cost less elixir.

Now all of you go watch 12 Angry Men.
