What can counter a Pekka?
Pekka is a powerful troop in clash games that can be quite challenging to deal with. However, there are several ways to counter it effectively. Here are some strategies and troop combinations that can help you counter a Pekka:
1. Kiting with Ice Golem: The Ice Golem can distract the Pekka and buy you some time to deal with it. Place the Ice Golem in front of the Pekka and lure it away from your valuable defensive structures.
2. Flying Troops (except Baby Dragon and maybe Flying Machine): Flying troops like the Minions and the Balloon can attack the Pekka without being targeted by it. Use them to chip away at the Pekka’s health from a safe distance.
3. Inferno Tower: The Inferno Tower is a great defensive structure against high-hitpoint troops like the Pekka. Its high damage output can melt the Pekka’s health away quickly.
4. Another Pekka: One effective way to counter a Pekka is to use another Pekka. Deploying a second Pekka can quickly take down the opposing Pekka, especially if it is already weakened.
5. Mega Knight (only for a weakened Pekka or for the last resort): The Mega Knight’s powerful splash damage and high hitpoints make it a suitable counter for a weakened Pekka. However, it’s important to note that the Mega Knight should be used as a last resort or when the Pekka is already weakened.
6. Rascals at a distance: The Rascals, specifically the Rascal Boy, can attack the Pekka from a distance. Use them strategically and place them at a safe distance to avoid being targeted by the Pekka.
7. X-Bow for chipping + a Tank: Using an X-Bow in combination with a tank troop, like a Giant or a Golem, can effectively chip away at the Pekka’s health while the tank soaks up the damage.
8. Three Musketeers: Deploying the Three Musketeers can overwhelm the Pekka with their combined firepower. However, this strategy requires careful placement and support from other troops or spells to protect the Musketeers.
