P.E.K.K.A — Clash of Clans
Troops
Updated: 18 September 2026 · By the Goblins Farm team
P.E.K.K.A hits harder and survives longer than anything else in the standard barracks, and costs a fortune in housing space to do it. She is a single point of overwhelming force, with all the fragility that implies about putting your army in one basket.
What it does
P.E.K.K.A has the highest hitpoints and damage of the elixir troops, no preferred target, and moves slowly. She destroys buildings in very few hits, including walls when she chooses to attack them, and she shrugs off single-target defences that would delete anything else.
The counter-intuitive part: splash damage is not her weakness. Splash defences exist to punish many cheap units, and P.E.K.K.A is one expensive one. What actually kills her is concentrated single-target damage and time.
How to use it
Her housing cost means an army built around her contains very few units, so every one of them has to matter.
- Give her a path. P.E.K.K.A moving through a maze of compartments spends the whole attack walking. Use Wall Breakers or a Jump Spell to open a route.
- Give her support. Fast, cheap troops behind her clear the buildings she walks past, since she is too slow to clean up.
- Protect her from single-target burst. An Inferno Tower in single-target mode is her genuine nightmare, and freeze is the standard answer.
How to beat it
Concentrated single-target damage, especially anything that ramps up over time against one target. Compartmented layouts also work well, not by killing her but by wasting her time, since a slow troop that spends ninety seconds walking has been defeated by the clock. Defending Clan Castle troops and heroes add the sustained damage needed to finish the job.

Frequently asked
What is the best counter to P.E.K.K.A?
Concentrated single-target damage rather than splash, since splash defences are designed to punish many weak troops and P.E.K.K.A is one very strong one. Highly compartmented bases also work, because they waste the time of a slow, expensive unit.
Is P.E.K.K.A good for farming?
No. Her housing cost and training expense mean an army built around her is far too expensive to run repeatedly for collector loot. She belongs in war attacks where the goal is destruction rather than profit.
