P.E.K.K.A Unleashed: Mastering the Powerhouse Unit

PEKKA: Discover the might of the P.E.K.K.A, an unstoppable force in Clash of Clans. Unlocked at Barracks level 10 and requiring Town Hall level 8, this slow but formidable Elixir Troop brings high damage and hitpoints to the battlefield.

Key Attributes

• Slow, single-target melee attacker.
• No preferred target initially, but shifts focus to enemy Clan Castle troops, Heroes, or Skeleton Trap skeletons when aware.
• Engages nearest structure once surrounding enemy troops are eliminated.

P.E.K.K.A Strategies

Offensive Strategy

Deploying P.E.K.K.As strategically can decimate opponents:

• Pair Deployments: Deploying them in pairs on each corner disrupts defensive structures effectively.
• Rage Spell Synergy: Enhance damage output with a Rage Spell, enabling them to obliterate structures in one hit.
• Anti-Hero Tactics: Capable of one-shotting opposing heroes, especially when paired with Rage Spells.

Defensive Strategy

Utilize P.E.K.K.A defensively with caution:

• Clan Castle Gambit: A surprise choice in Clan Castle can catch attackers off guard, especially against ground-based high-health troops.
• Vulnerabilities: Ineffective against swarms and low-hitpoint troops; susceptible to attacks by Witches or aerial units.

P.E.K.K.A Tips and Tricks

Offensive Tips for PEKKA

• Avoid Complete P.E.K.K.A Armies: Ineffective against flying Clan Castle troops; supplement with splash-damage troops or Poison Spells.
• Trap Manipulation: PEKKAs can trigger and absorb trap damage; use Wall Breakers or siege machines for effective base entry.

Defensive Tips for PEKKA

• Spring Trap Immunity: Takes over 20 housing space, making her immune to Spring Traps, protecting troops behind her.
• Anti-Swarm Measures: Deploy Skeleton Traps in Ground Mode to distract P.E.K.K.A from high-damage defenses.
• Inferno Tower Defense: Single-target Inferno Towers pose a threat; use Giant Bombs strategically to stall and eliminate support troops.

Upgrade Evolution

Witness the visual evolution of the P.E.K.K.A as she levels up:

• Level 1: Metal robot-like troop with pink horns and spikes.
• Level 5: Swords glow pink, eyes have a faint pink glow, and armor color changes to dark navy.
• Level 10: Swords become white, presenting the pinnacle of P.E.K.K.A’s power.

Explore the dynamic strategies and visual transformations as you unleash the full potential of the P.E.K.K.A in Clash of Clans. Dominate the battlefield with this unstoppable force!

PEKKA Trivia

• A complete set of fully upgraded Army Camps can accommodate a maximum of 12 P.E.K.K.As. Including the 2 that can fit into a fully upgraded Clan Castle, the total increases to 14.
• On the battlefield, you can clone an additional 4 P.E.K.K.As using four level 3 or higher Clone Spells (three from the regular spell inventory and one from a level 10 or higher Clan Castle). Additionally, you can summon an extra P.E.K.K.A through a Siege Barracks, bringing the total to 19 P.E.K.K.As.
• The name “P.E.K.K.A” is derived from the Finnish name for “Peter,” which, in turn, comes from the Greek name “Petros,” meaning stone.
• Initially, the acronym for P.E.K.K.A didn’t stand for anything. However, a Facebook contest in 2012 resulted in the name “Perfectly Enraged Knight Killer of Assassins” winning.
• P.E.K.K.A has been confirmed as female through Loading Screen Hints and official YouTube videos. In Clash Royale, the P.E.K.K.A. Protector Decoration’s description emphasizes her femininity.
• The level 10 Barracks, required to unlock P.E.K.K.A, features a P.E.K.K.A helmet on its roof.
• P.E.K.K.A’s appearance on the Barracks info screen changed during the June 17, 2013, update. The old image became the card icon of the P.E.K.K.A in Clash Royale.
• Despite being a robot, P.E.K.K.A shares the same death animation as other troops. At level 3 or higher, her death skeleton image is larger.
• P.E.K.K.A appears to float rather than walk and, despite her fearsome appearance, is depicted as tender in some commercials.
• The P.E.K.K.A is likely a reference to D.A.V.E. from Backyard Monsters, as both are robotic, lack specific acronym meanings, and were considered the strongest regular troop in their respective games.
• According to Pocket Gamer, Clash of Clans drew inspiration from Backyard Monsters.
• P.E.K.K.A is featured as a skin for the Barbarian King in Clash of Clans.
• When deployed, P.E.K.K.A says “Destroy!” in a robotic voice. A faint, low-pitched laugh is audible when she hits a building, and electrical fizzles can be heard upon her destruction.
• The original description before the 12/10/16 update highlighted P.E.K.K.A‘s vulnerability to electricity. This was changed due to P.E.K.K.A receiving double damage from Hidden Teslas.
• A max level unsupported P.E.K.K.A can defeat all max level heroes except for the Barbarian King and the Grand Warden (if set to air mode).
• In Inferno Town Challenge, M.E.G.A.P.E.K.K.A. is a stronger variant with extreme range, health, and splash damage, hitting both ground and air targets. M.O.M.M.A follows a similar idea in the Single Player Campaign.
• P.E.K.K.A has a passion for butterflies, as evidenced by in-game interactions, commercials, and Clash Royale quotes.
• A Single Player Map called P.E.K.K.A’s Playhouse and a Clash Royale Arena share the P.E.K.K.A name.
• The Clash Royale P.E.K.K.A’s Star Level 2 skin grants her a second sword, resembling the Level 4 P.E.K.K.A in Clash of Clans, although she never attacks with both swords.
