Trebuchet
Key Takeaways
  • ● Component — strongest when purchased with a plan, not as a blind buy.
  • ● High board cost: 3 slots means this affects your positioning for multiple rounds.
  • ● Low placement risk: trigger is global, so disruption is less punishing.
ⓘ Data & Methodology (How scores are calculated) Season 10

Efficiency: Efficiency Score is a normalized "space ROI" metric: (estimated effect value ÷ size slots). It is NOT raw DPS.

ROI: ROI estimates assume standard round pacing and compare this item against same-tier peers by cost and slot usage.

Percentile: Percentiles are computed within the same category/tier bucket (e.g., Tech items at similar cost).

Meta Strategic Position

The Trebuchet is best classified as Component. At 6g and 3 slot(s), it’s a placement-safe (global) item where timing matters.

Low-to-mid cost means it can be used as a tempo stabilizer if it fits your board plan. Large footprint means you must plan around board compression and sequencing.

Quick Conclusions

Verdict: Situational — based on efficiency 5 and cost 6g.
Trigger: global — placement-safe (won’t usually break).
Best synergy: Arbalest (score 3 • shared tags: Weapon, Damage, HasteReference).


### Efficiency & ROI Analysis
Your efficiency score (5) is a *space ROI* signal, not raw DPS. This usually means it needs support pieces and correct timing to justify the slots. If you’re behind on board stability, delay the purchase until you can immediately benefit from it.

Opportunity Cost

Because it is Large, you’re paying in board space. Plan your next 2–3 rounds so you don’t choke your sequencing or block key triggers.

Market Competition

Within the 6g price bracket, Trebuchet competes directly with Basilisk Fang and Blowgun .

Compared to its closest rival, Trebuchet has a score gap of -15.0 . As a Component, it provides niche efficiency for Weapon builds.

Market Analysis

Cost: 6g • Price percentile: 58% (Weapon pool) • Season 10
ⓘ Method

Compared to similar Weapon items, this sits around the 58th cost percentile. Use efficiency (5) and role (Component) to decide if it matches your build plan.

Efficiency: 5 Role: Component Slots: 3

Investment ROI

Estimated break-even: ~1 rounds
ⓘ Method

This is a heuristic estimate (not raw DPS). If you want it to matter, buy early enough to get multiple trigger windows before the board locks.

Timing hint: strongest when purchased before ~round 7 (due to 3 slot footprint).
Cost: 6g Est. Rounds: ~1 Model: cost ÷ (eff×2)

Positioning Guide

Trigger: global • Risk: None • Check: No

Optimal Layout

No positioning requirement (global effect).
Trebuchet

Placement does not change whether the effect triggers.

Why Placement Matters

Placement errors won’t nullify Trebuchet. Focus on board space and upgrade timing instead of slot order.

Strategic Q&A

Is Trebuchet worth buying early game?

"With a cost of 6g, this is typically a priority pickup. In early rounds, focus on board stability before committing to this Large item."

Does positioning matter for Trebuchet?

"No — this is a global item. Placement won’t affect whether it triggers. Optimize for slot efficiency and keep your grid open for higher-impact pieces."
