“The Bandit dashes to her target and delivers an extra big hit! While dashing, she can't be touched. The mask keeps her identity safe... and gives her bonus cool points!”
You can force the Bandit to target weak units such as Skeletons by placing said weak units in order to prevent her from unleashing her dash attack on your stronger units.
The Bandit cannot dash towards targets that are within 4 tiles of her. Take advantage of this and place melee troops to prevent her from using her dash.
Without the dash, she has low attack and can be killed with any mini-swarm like Guards or Goblin Gang.
The Bandit's invulnerability while dashing should not be overestimated. She can still take damage while charging up for a dash.
The Bandit is very effective against units that are spread out as her dash attack can easily catch up towards the spread out units and deals double damage.
The Bandit can dash through boulders and The Log without getting knocked back.
Goblins are a positive Elixir trade for the Bandit.
