Figures below use Level 11, Clash Royale's tournament standard, regardless of the level selected above.

Tesla is a 4-elixir Common Building (released 4 Jan 2016) that attacks both Air & Ground with a fast, single-target, non-melee hit (1.1s cycle, 0.5s fast first hit, 5.5 range, no splash). Its signature, dataset-invisible mechanic is a hidden/underground "pop-up" state: Tesla starts submerged after its 1s deploy window and is fully untargetable by troops and nearly all spells (Earthquake excepted) until an enemy enters its ~5.5-tile trigger radius, at which point it surfaces to attack, then re-submerges once no enemies remain in range. As a Building it has a hard 25-second lifetime (most recently cut from 30s in the June 2026 patch) and never moves or is transported. Its Evolution (added March 2024, Season 57, 2-cycle charge cost) keeps identical base stats and adds an Electro Pulse — a 6-tile, 0.5s AoE stun that fires on each surface/re-surface event rather than on the normal attack cycle; its pulse damage was nerfed 174→148 in a May 2026 patch that the local dataset/override table has not yet caught up to. At level 11, current live stats are 1182 HP / 220 damage / 199 DPS per Crownstats' own override correction of the raw local dataset value (1152 HP).
