Mini P.E.K.K.A

Mini P.E.K.K.A. is a 4-elixir Rare troop built to punish single targets — a lone, fast-moving melee attacker that hits far harder than its cost suggests, but can only fight ground units and has no splash damage. It's been part of Clash Royale since the game's earliest days. In December 2025 it also gained a Hero version with the same combat stats plus a one-time ability called Breakfast Boost: a self-heal that also instantly bumps its level up, growing stronger the longer its "pancake meter" has been charging before you use it.

• Mini P.E.K.K.A. is a 4-elixir Rare troop: a single, fast-moving melee attacker with short range that can only target ground units, unlockable from Training Camp — the game's very first arena.

• Its first swing lands unusually fast — just 0.5 seconds after it reaches a target — before settling into its normal 1.6-second hit rhythm, letting it land an early hit most other troops can't match.

• At level 11, Mini P.E.K.K.A. has 1,390 hitpoints and hits for 755 damage per swing (about 471 damage per second) — its hitpoints were cut down from 1,433 in a January 2026 balance update, part of a wider effort to cool the card down after its new Hero form made it too strong.

• Mini P.E.K.K.A. dates back to the very beginning of Clash Royale — it appeared in the game's limited regional soft-launch on 4 January 2016 (iOS only, in a handful of countries) roughly two months before the worldwide release on 2 March 2016.

• Mini P.E.K.K.A. excels at punishing lone tanks and medium-cost pushes with its burst damage, but it has no splash damage and can't hit air troops — cheap swarms like Skeletons or Goblin Gang, and flying units like Minions or Bats, counter it hard, and opponents often kite it away from the tower with a single cheap unit.

• HeroLaunched on 1 December 2025 as one of the first cards in Clash Royale's new Hero card tier (alongside Hero Knight, Hero Musketeer, and Hero Giant), carrying the same combat stats as the regular troop plus a usable in-battle ability.

• HeroIts Breakfast Boost ability costs 1 extra elixir and can be triggered once per life — it heals for 30% of max health and instantly grants 1 to 5 bonus levels depending on how charged its "pancake meter" is, which fills passively over time and by landing hits.

• HeroBreakfast Boost has already been nerfed twice since launch — the self-heal was cut from 40% to 30% in January 2026, and the pancake meter's charge time was slowed from 20 to 22 seconds in February 2026, both meant to stop the card from snowballing out of control.
