In recent months, there have been 2 clear content release patterns:
- 2 evolutions
- 1 evolution and 1 new card
Pekka will be the first of 2 evolutions to be released next season. We'll share details of the other one very soon.
Pekka will be the featured evolution of the season, meaning that it's the one you can unlock with Pass Royale.
The evolution card description says the following:
Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee. Evolved P.E.K.K.A has a giant soul-sucking sword that restores health after slaying her enemies.
Evolution Stats
The general direction for new evolutions is to avoid basic stat buffs, and Pekka follows this rule. The main stats of the normal Pekka are the same as the evolution.
Evolution Ability: Healing Blade!
Evolved Pekka will heal after killing enemy troops. Each kill heals the same amount, regardless of the size of the enemy: always 12.5% of the core HP (12.5% is 1/8).
Similar to Evolved Bats, this healing ability can create overheal and extend the HP over the initial cap, but this is capped at 50%. This means that if you deploy Pekka on defence, she'll have to kill at least 4 troops to reach the HP limit.
This healing ability will make Pekka stronger against small swarms. Other weaknesses like big swarms, kiting and air troops will remain effective against this evolution.
Ability Stats
At tournament standard (level 11), Pekka has 3760 HP when deployed, so she heals 470 HP per kill. Given the Hit Time of 1.8 seconds, this gives a maximum Heal Per Second (HPS) of 261.
For reference, the DPS of tower troops is 136 for Tower Princess and 167 for Cannoneer. This means that distracting the Evolved Pekka with small troops to allow your tower to attack for longer can actually make her stronger; you'll need to combine the Tower Troop damage will additional damage sources.
We can also look at the relevance of the HP bonus. Defending with Pekka to reach the HP limit will turn her into the biggest troop in Clash Royale.
Troop | HP |
---|---|
Lava Hound | 3,581 |
Normal Pekka | 3,760 |
Electro Giant | 3,856 |
Mega Knight | 3,993 |
Giant | 4,091 |
Golem | 5,120 |
Evolved Pekka Max | 5,640 |
Evolution Cycles
Pekka needs 1 Cycle to activate the evolution, so 1 in every 2 deploys will be evolved.
Evolution Release
The Pekka Evolution will be released on September 2nd, with the start of the new season.
Usually, card evolutions are released slightly before the end of the season, which is the first Monday of the month. As soon as this happens, you can unlock it with Wild Shards. After the new season begins, players who buy the Diamond Pass Royale get 6 Pekka shards to unlock it.
Other ways to find Pekka shards are:
- Level Up chests
- Season Shop (in a future seasons)
- Shop Offers (in a future seasons)
- Legendary Lucky Drops
