It can also be used to destroy buildings and objects in your way. This can help create easier access routes to lanes from a team's base, or to provide additional routes to flank the opposing team. It is not possible to destroy the enemy's trebuchet with your own trebuchet as it is out of range, but it can be destroyed by enemy players. When this happens, supply can be used to repair it or it will be repair automatically after a time period.
