Bandit battle strategy
At 3 elixir, Bandit plays as a Legendary troop that targets ground. Released in 2017, it remains a reliable option for balancing offense and defense.
Opening plays and tempo
Lead with Bandit when you can float 3 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.
Support combinations
Pair Bandit with spells or support troops that amplify a troop's pressure. Knockback, rage, or splash damage keep it on the board longer.
Defensive flip
Hold Bandit for ground pushes when you need a fast trade. Survive the defense, then stack it behind surviving units for a counterattack.
Synergies and deck ideas
Cheap cycle cards help you get back to Bandit whenever you need its toolkit in rotation.
Mix Bandit with win conditions that benefit from its support or let it pressure the opposite lane as a secondary win condition.
Playing around counters
Identify hard counters early
Watch for buildings, splash damage, or swarms that shut Bandit down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.
Spell safety
Avoid stacking Bandit near your tower. High-damage spells punish clumped units, so stagger deployments to reduce risk.
Upgrade priorities
Track the damage and hit point breakpoints that matter at your ladder tier. Leveling Bandit so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
