Is Pekka really that agressive to heroes?

[HellfireJoey]

I dunno if there were any changes or updates before or if that's how Pekka really works but I've noticed that the range of Pekka to detect heroes is quite too big. Everytime Pekka detects a hero hitting an ally troop within two building blocks away, Pekka, no matter what or how many the obstacles are, will deny all structures in front of her, destroy walls and hunt down the hero, then continue destroying walls and/or buildings near her instead of destroying what's on her path before hunting for the hero.

What do you think?

all troops do that, the queen is more likely to lure your troops in, use that to your advantage.

Pekkas and heroes will chase defending heroes for miles. Completely changing entry point, TH nearly dead, anything, they make a bee-line for them.
As above post, its best to attack where your entry point lines up with either or both heroes, so at least they chase them to where you want to be.
Good def bases often wont let you do this, you can either take a path that smoothly takes infernos one at a time with high risk of hero distraction, or heroes nicely lined up with TH, but you got to take the big heat on fast.

So you just noticed this now?

I noticed it after doing several gowipes. Lately I started going for GoWiPe attacks because I was just doing fine with Hog Rider attack in clan wars before, but as we all know, the stronger your base becomes the higher rank you climb in clan war rankings and the more I will encounter tougher bases. I just want to know more about Pekka to utilize it efficiently.

Works the same as any other troop with no preferred target...I believe the aggro radius is 6 or 7 tiles so if one of your friendlies is being attacked by a hero, the Pekka will go to kill them regardless of what she was doing. As people said, you can use this to your advantage with bases that have heroes in the core...Pekka will be right where you want her after the hero is dead

When you see the "!!" above heroes, they will pull troops towards them, not just pekkas. The queen does have a larger detection radius though.

Makes sense as here attacks are ranged.

Thanks for the inputs guys!

Works same as any other troop. Its cool watching a hero and pekka fight it out
