Hidden Tesla

The Hidden Tesla is a defensive building which stays hidden and appears when a ground or air unit gets close, or when 51% of the base is destroyed. The Hidden Tesla is unlocked at Town Hall level 7. The Hidden Tesla will not appear unless the enemy units come within its 6-tile trigger range. The only exception to this rule is that Hidden Teslas will reveal themselves once a base has incurred at least 51% damage, as they must be destroyed (along with all other buildings) in order to achieve 3 stars. Once the Hidden Tesla is revealed, it will stay visible and attack units out to its maximum range of 7 tiles until it is destroyed. The Tesla deals double damage to P.E.K.K.As and prioritizes them over other troops.

Defensive Strategy

• It is a good strategy to create "dummy" 2x2 open spaces to make the enemy think they know where your Hidden Teslas are. For example, you unlock 2 Hidden Teslas at Town Hall 7. You could create two empty 2x2 spaces in your base which are actually empty, while deploying your Hidden Teslas elsewhere, increasing the chances of surprising your opponent.

Offensive Strategy

• Before attacking, look for obvious places where a Hidden Tesla might be located, and avoid them. If you see a 2x2 empty square space surrounded by Walls, it is very likely that a Hidden Tesla has been placed there.
• One Giant and a few Archers can quite easily destroy a Hidden Tesla, as it has relatively low health.
• If you have the opportunity to observe a village prior to attacking, such as when planning a revenge, then watch the Villagers. They can reveal the location of Hidden Teslas by walking up to the "empty" spot where the Tesla is hidden and clapping.
