The Mega Knight has a massive spawn stomp

It's a huge area with a 1 tile knockback on medium-sized units

this deals twice as much as his regular attack

his second attack knocks out all of these "fireballie" units

Night Witch and Bandit are NOT fireballies

They have more health and require a second swing

His jump activates between 4 and 5 tiles,

and it deals twice as much as his regular attack

his jump has the same knockback, but the radius is a bit smaller

The stomp and jump will NOT target air units

he'll crush the skarmy, but that minion horde

this is the same as the mini P.E.K.K.A or Dark Prince

Just like a PEKKA, this guy is someone you do NOT want

He has the ability to take it out, and then some

He's got the same hit speed as the mini PEKKA as well

so if a Hog is running away while it's finishing its attack

it will still land that attack. As a result, the Hog

Even with a pig push, the Mega Knight will be able to

This is 7 for 4, but the counter-push potential is REAL

Even an Ice Golem-Hog combo only gets 1 shot off the tower

and now your opponent has to deal with a counter-push of a full-health Mega Knight

This is a very precise timing that can actually stop

because it's nearly impossible to pull this off consistently

His attack has a splash radius of 1.3 tiles

To put that into perspective, the Dark Prince

Guards are a bit thicker so most of the time, he'll still hit 2 of them

You can surround him with guards on occasion

but it's very difficult and not practical to pull off.

Here's another example of his massive splash radius

you can surround him with Barbarians to counter him

will still get splashed on a certain side

That being said, you can easily surround him with a thinner skeletons

but of course, you can't expect 1 elixir to
defend against 7

That's why you need to pair it with Minions,

Musketeer, Bats, or something with high damage output

Unlike the Bandit's dash, he is NOT invincible when he jumps

he'll continue taking damage while airborne

Here's an interesting interaction against the Bandit

his jump is already initiated, he will not falter

once he's already charged up, he's gonna jump

Although you can pull him with a tornado while mid-air,

you have to wait until he lands before that Tornado can suck him in

The Mega Knight can be substituted with a PEKKA in certain decks

PEKKA is THE best counter. Here's the difference though:

it's relatively easier to distract with smaller swarm units

Here's the difference: if you defend with Mega Knight and counter-attack

if you don't have the proper counter in rotation

it's gonna cost A LOT to prevent him from locking on to your tower

not to mention this scenario does not include him having support units

If you're facing a beatdown deck with PEKKA or Golem

it's highly unlikely you opponent has a 3-elixir hard counter

That being said, it's not the end of the world.

let's flip this scenario around. If you planted a PEKKA in the back,

you'll want to use his jump mechanic to your advantage

something ranged, but cheap like an Ice Wizard

It increases his total damage output while exisisting

against an Inferno Tower, your Zap isn't going to help

the unsupported Golem, because it waddles so slowly towards the tower

and Zap against the Inferno Tower, he'll jump

on to the Inferno immediately, and right before dying,

he'll jump on to the tower. Don't worry though

the Inferno is still a hard counter. But if they have Zap,

just put down and Ice Spirit or something

With spirits, they're an excellent way to

manipulate his pathing and bait out his jump

the spirits won't actually die from his jump and they'll survive long enough

then proceed to jump on to the next target
