As a PEKKA player for almost 10 years now, I look closely at every change made to the card.

This troop has hardly changed in its mechanics or stats since ever

If she has a weakness, it's obviously her attack speed, which significantly hinders it and sometimes prevents her from being truly effective.

PEKKA is countered by all the small troops in the game, ranged troops, all air cards, and most buildings.

Therefore, it absolutely must be efficient in its interactions and take advantage of its high damage to easily eliminate tanks and "medium" troops.

That's why increasing her damages is perhaps the best possible change to make her viable.

Obviously, the goal isn't to make the card too broken.

This small buff will also allows it to be more effective overall and deal more damages to towers when it connects.

However, I'm still a bit frustrated by certain interactions that make some games almost impossible.

The most frustrating is Hog Rider, which can very easily hit our tower while we're defending with a 7-elixir PEKKA. But this interaction needs to change through a nerf to the Hog's HP.

Games against Royal Giant decks will also remain very difficult to manage. The PEKKA is still hard countered by the Fisherman, the Evo Hunter, and Skeletons...

What do you think of this buff?
