P.E.K.K.A.

Introduction :

P.E.K.K.A is the last troop to be unlocked in the standard barracks. 

She has the strongest armor of any of the elixir based troops, and the highest damage of the normal troops. She is the most expensive elixir troop and has the longest training time. 

P.E.K.K.A receives double damage from the hidden tesla due to the conductivity of her armor.

Lightening spells do not do double damage to P.E.K.K.A. 

Level 5 P.E.K.K.As combined with a level 5 rage spell do amazing damage, up to 2,565 damage per attack.

P.E.K.K.A requires the most elixir to upgrade her to maximum level (24,000,000). 

P.E.K.K.A's name may originate from Pekka Clark, who shaped the framework in his masters Thesis for Robot Framework and is the lead developer there. Robot Framework is near Supercell's headquarters in Helsinki, Finland which seems more than a coincidence, since he is a software professional named Pekka that built a Robot framework near Supercell Headquarters and has the same name as the robot character in-game. 

 

Offensive Strategy :

 Because this troop has the highest attack of all normal units in the game along with very high health, it is good to deploy them in pairs on each corner of the opponent's village and near a bunch of enemy defenses.

 Very few buildings will not survive two attacks of this very powerful unit (600-950 damage per hit depending on level), A good technique is to deploy two P.E.K.K.As, which will be able to destroy most buildings in a single hit.

 Deploying in pairs, mortars won't be as effective either, as they can only damage one pair at a time as opposed to an entire group of P.E.K.K.As deployed together.

 Depending on your usage, especially in breaking though a high level wall, a good technique is to deploy larger groups of P.E.K.K.As. The group will be able to break through the walls with one hit thereby using minimul time..ie...less dps too.. 

Hidden Teslas do twice as much damage to P.E.K.K.As as they do to other troops.

Defensive Strategy: 

Hidden Teslas deal enough damage to kill a P.E.K.K.A quickly. 

Several P.E.K.K.As together are still quite powerful damage wise and will easily explote weak secondary defenses, so guard against weak defense designs as you progress into the higher level base layouts.
