The Trebuchet is a long-range sniping weapon that can hit targets from a long-range (1,100 meters). Works for picking off [[Light Robot|light robots]] or chipping away at the health of [[Medium Robot|medium]] or [[Heavy Robot|heavy robots]] as well as taking down robots with built-in [[Ancile]]s.

It should be noted that both the [[Nashorn]] and [[Kang Dae]] have a higher DPM (damage per minute) compared to the Trebuchet; however, due to [[Ancile|energy]] shields, the Trebuchet has become useful on large and open maps, like [[Yamantau]], [[Canyon]], and [[Springfield]]. Therefore, if using a jump bot, do not jump too often on open maps due to your robot being extremely vulnerable to the Trebuchet.

Introduction

The Trebuchet is a long-range (up to 1,100 meters) heavy energy weapon. It has a light and medium counterpart (Arbalest and Ballista respectively) and can be viewed as the energy counterpart to the Gauss.

Strategy

This sniper weapon can be charged up to deal more damage (eventually dealing the most energy damage possible from a single shot). However, it can be fired at any time during the charge for reduced damage. A full charge takes 15 seconds, and after firing the weapon cannot be fired for 3 seconds.

The Trebuchet is a long-range sniping weapon that can hit targets from up to 1,100 meters. Works for picking off light robots or chipping away at the health of medium or heavy robots as well as taking down robots with built-in energy shields.

It should be noted that both the Nashorn and Kang Dae have a higher DPM (damage per minute) compared to the Trebuchet. However, due to energy shields, the Trebuchet has become useful against targets running Ancile shields.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Energy attribute allows it to pierce energy shields
  • Fast projectile speed makes it hard to miss
  • 1,100-meter range allows it to fire freely without fear of retaliation
  • Tremendous damage when fully charged
  • High accuracy-if aimed right, will not miss
  • Single shot attribute allows robot to minimize exposure time

Cons

  • Single projectile means shields will soak up excess damage when destroyed
  • Ineffective against physical shields
  • Extremely long reload
  • Horrible at sustained fighting
  • Ineffective at close range against specialized brawling weapons

Trivia

  • In real life, a Trebuchet is a type of catapult that uses a heavy counterweight to throw projectiles weighing up to 350 lbs.
  • When the Trebuchet's three second reload time is over, the “barrel” of the weapon opens up into two pieces, indicating that it is ready to be fired. The longer one waits to fire, the greater the intensity of the light coming from the barrel, indicating the higher damage of the plasma bolt that will be fired.
  • Four menacing yellow glowing barrels could be seen very far in almost any map, and are very distinctive from any other long-range weaponry, serving as a warning for enemy pilots. Usually, if the light is dim, it is relatively safe to cross the opening on the map or to attack the enemy, due to low damage of a not charged Trebuchet.
  • The Trebuchet start charging at the moment player drops the bot, so it is possible to drop a bot early, allowing it to charge before the actual battle begins, allowing the pilot to fire instantly when the game starts dealing almost max damage if the bolt manages to hit the target when fired. This strategy could also be used for the Arbalest and Ballista.
  • The Trebuchet's design is reminiscent of a railgun, although the weapon itself does not fire kinetic projectiles as a railgun would in reality. However, it is actually a plasma railgun.
  • Out of all of the heavy weapons in the game the Trebuchet has the fastest projectile in War Robots
