PEKKA Trivia ◾The letters in P.E.K.K.A dont officially stand for anything in particular. Supercell had a Facebook contest on 22 August 2012 to see who could come up with the best written-out name for P.E.K.K.A as judged by the number of likes the comment received. The name Perfect Enraged Knight Killer of Assassins was the winner. ◾There have been huge debates both here and on the official forums over whether P.E.K.K.A is a female, male or a something else entirely (robot/samurai/knight). However, on one of the Fun Facts shown while the game is loading, it implies that P.E.K.K.A is in fact a female. ◾The level 10 Barracks, which is the level required to unlock P.E.K.K.A, has a P.E.K.K.A head on its roof. ◾Level 5 P.E.K.K.As combined with a level 5 Rage Spell do amazing damage, up to 2,565 damage per attack. ◾You can have a maximum of 9 P.E.K.K.As at one time in a complete set of fully upgraded Army Camps. This number increases to 10 if you include the 1 that can fit into a level 4 or higher Clan Castle. ◾The P.E.K.K.A is the only troop that cant fill four max-level Army Camps by themselves (if Healers arent counted as theyre not expected to be filling the Army Camps). ◾The image used for P.E.K.K.A on the Barracks info screen changed during the 17 June 2013 update (the same update that added the level 4 P.E.K.K.A). Her new look is much more intimidating, and she now stands ready to strike with her sword. This new look is often debated among fellow players to which one looks the best, along with the Dragon. ◾A new image was added for the Barracks info screen during the 5 December 2013 update. P.E.K.K.As new look now shows her pointing her sword, making the sword stick out of the info screen. ◾P.E.K.K.A requires the most elixir to upgrade her to maximum level (24,000,000). ◾P.E.K.K.A is one of only two troops to have different appearances at every level (along with the Dragon). ◾P.E.K.K.As 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 Supercells 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. ◾The level 5 P.E.K.K.A has exactly the same health as the level 1 Golem. ◾If a P.E.K.K.A is level 3 or higher, she has a bigger skeleton image than usual at death. ◾ The P.E.K.K.A appears to glide along the ground instead of walking.
