• Summary
  • The Mega Tesla is a defensive building in the Builder Base that unlocks at Builder Hall level 8.
  • It is a defense that can damage both air and ground troops.
  • The Mega Tesla attacks with chain lightning; the electricity it fires damages a first target within the range of the Tesla, and then, if possible, the bolt will arc towards a second target up to 3 tiles away from the first target and damage it as well.

---

• Defensive Strategy
  • The Mega Tesla deals high damage, but has a low fire rate. It is good to protect it using splash-damaging defenses and traps, such as the Roaster, Crusher, and Mega Mines, to prevent enemies from distracting it with lower-hitpoint troops.
  • The Mega Tesla's Chain Lightning can chain onto a Sneaky Archer under her cloak and kill her, provided that it has another nearby target to attack first.

• Offensive Strategy
  • Try to swarm your opponent's base with Barbarians after breaking into the base so your other troops, like the Battle Machine, can stay safe.
  • Drop Ships can tank several shots from the Mega Tesla and drop skeletons to distract it.

• Upgrade Differences
  • The Mega Tesla undergoes significant visual changes at levels 6, 7 and 8.
  • When initially constructed, it is composed of a pyramid-type building with a golden tip, and multiple wooden supports.
  • At level 2, the Mega Tesla gains a stone base and smaller beams in between the supports.
  • At level 3, all ropes disappear and are replaced with wooden beams.
  • At level 4, the electricity storages turn blue, and a diagonal beam replaces the other ones on the right side and gains a stone base.
  • At level 5, a metal ring is put on top of the original stone supports and the stone supports change into stairs.
  • At level 6, there are metal crosses replacing the wooden beams.
  • At level 7, the Mega Tesla gains blue supports at the bottom of the golden tip.
  • At level 8, the blue supports turn golden, and the golden tip is encased by a glowing Tesla coil.

• Trivia
  • The Tesla coil on top of the Mega Tesla at level 8 resembles the Tesla coil on the Sparky from Clash Royale, another game created by Supercell.
    • The coil is also based on the level 7 Laboratory and level 7 Hidden Tesla.
  • The description of the Mega Tesla has a grammatical error, saying "It's powerful jolts..." instead of "Its powerful jolts...".
