Hidden Teslas

This is a page about one of the smallest but most vicious defence, the Hidden Tesla.

What is it?
The Hidden Tesla was the smallest Defence that wasn't a Trap until the Inferno Tower came in an update. In measures 2x2 Tiles and does a great amount of damage. Like Traps, it is hidden until a Troop comes into a certain amount of tiles away. Like Traps, only yourself and members of your Clan can see them when visiting your village.

Defensive Strategy
The Hidden Tesla is similar to a Trap as it stays hidden until a Troop comes in its range. But unlike a Trap, the Hidden Tesla doesn't have to be bought again when activated. You unlock the Hidden Tesla at Town Hall Level Seven, and it costs 1,000,000 Gold making it incredibly expensive. A Hidden Tesla will only reveal itself if a Troop is in it's range. The only exception to this rule is if a base has had over 50% damage done o it, as it must be destroyed to achieve 100%. The main advantage of a Hidden Tesla is that it is, or should be, a surprise. A well-placed Hidden Tesla can wreak havoc and completely ruin an opponent's chances to achieve Stars. Many people put many 2x2 spaces, so that the attacker knows where the Hidden Teslas are located. Try to make more spaces then Hidden Teslas so that the opponent is fooled. Be careful when upgrading or building a Hidden Tesla, as you can still see where they will be built/upgarded, so place them somewhere else when you are doing so, or future opponents will know where to attack. It is names after Nikola Tesla, the inventor of the Tesla Coil.

Offensive Strategy
When attacking, try to predict where Hidden Teslas are located. Be aware that they have very low range, but they can target both Air and Ground targets with mass damage. Hidden Teslas attack single targets, so deploying a Giant and some Archers will easily destroy it as it has relatively low health. Remember that you unlock Hidden Teslas at Town Hall Level Seven, so people with 2x2 gaps below Town Hall level Seven will not have Hidden Teslas there, so don't be fooled or put off. Lightning Spells will not damage the Hidden Tesla if it hasn't been revealed. Do not place P.E.K.K.A's near the Hidden Tesla, as it will do 2x damage.

Upgrade Differences
The Hidden Tesla aquires a metal coil on its top at Level Four. At Level Six the coil turns gold and at Level Seven a more 'stretched' golden coil is put on top. As well as this, the coil at the top on the Level Seven Tesla is the same as the one on the Level Seven Labratory. It is the only tower that is made of wood at max level, witht he exception of the Air Defence.
