Hero mini Pekka is bad

So I love mini Pekka and bought the hero version but I feel like it hasn’t showed much use against anything unless there’s a golem or giant going to attack my tower but even after the +5 levels he can be at least half health and die almost instantly before actually getting any use out of him, I also find his ability to be bland compared to the others like giant gets to throw troops across the board, musketeer gets a canon, knight gets every troop to lock onto him and get a shield, and mini Pekka just gets more levels. I was really hoping for the extra 5 levels to actually make him a lot better but it feels like he gained barely anything and even if he does hit on the tower which is usually never because he’s always low on health after it, it’s not that crazy it’s not exciting like the other heros and it just seems more like I payed for a skin then an insane expansion to one of my favorite cards☹️
