Additional Home Village Content:
You can now upgrade a single Mortar in your Home Village to a Multi-mortar defensive building, starting at TH10.

Let me catch my breath while you take that all in for a moment. Ok, we're good.

Mega Tesla
Let's start with the Mega Tesla, a new defensive building for your Builder Base. So what sets the Mega Tesla apart from its not-so-Mega cousins? Take a look!

Build Time: 24hrs
Range: 7 tiles
Targets: Ground and Air
Favorite Target: Any
Damage Type: Chain Lightning

So what is Chain Lightning? The Mega Tesla's damage will hit the first target up to 7 tiles away, and then will arc to the next closest target up to 3 tiles away and deal damage to it as well. Shocking!

We'll share the damage it deals per level in the full patch notes on release day!

Super P.E.K.K.A.
She's big, bad, beautiful, and goes BOOM! The new Super P.E.K.K.A. troop differs from her Home Village counterpart in one distinct way. So let's take a look at her base level stats when you unlock Builder Base 8.

Units per Army Camp: 1
Spring Weight: 25
Movement Speed: 16
Favorite Target: Any
Damage Type: Single Target
Special Ability: Overcharge

When the Super P.E.K.K.A. receives fatal damage, she does one final explosive attack called "Overcharge". At level 1, her Overcharge deals 400 damage. And her Overcharge ability gets stronger as her level increases. That's a lot of boom.

Again, full stats will be shared in the patch notes.
