Strategic Analysis

Tactical Identity

Mobile siege trebuchet

Tactical Playbook

No Pack Time

Unlike regular trebuchets, Mounted Trebuchets can fire immediately after moving. This is game-changing for siege.

Hit and Run Siege

Fire at buildings, move away when counter-attacked, reposition, fire again. Enemies can't pin you down.

Counter Trebuchets

Use mobility to outmaneuver enemy trebuchets. You can relocate while they're stuck packing.

Critical Point

150 HP is fragile for such an expensive unit. Cavalry and siege rams destroy it. Never leave unprotected.

Understanding The Stats

Mounted Trebuchets revolutionize siege warfare with their mobility. The Mongol signature unit for late-game dominance.

Slow Speed

Slower than cavalry but mobile for siege

Coach's Tip

200 attack with +450 vs buildings = 650 damage per shot to buildings. Castles (4800 HP) fall in 8 shots.
