Boss Bandit in Clash Royale Gameplay Explained
Key Stats & Mechanics
At level 11, Boss Bandit hits hard with 4,073 hit points and a normal damage of 390. This brings 325 DPS in total. Her ground attacks are targeted at only ground troops. Additionally, they are accompanied by a quick hit speed of 1.2 seconds.
Similar to her predecessor, she dashes to close the gap; however, when she unleashes her dash attack, her damage comes very close to doubling. This ends up delivering a staggering 781 dash damage within a distance of 3.6 to 6 tiles.
Getaway Grenade Ability
Her signature move is of course the Getaway Grenade. This takes only 1 elixir and can be used at any time. Once you activate it, Boss Bandit turns invisible for 1 second and teleports back six tiles. Not only does this allow her to duck out of harm’s way, but it also resets her position. This helps positioning herself for the possibility of another dash attack.
Unique among all the Champion abilities, this one isn’t on a timer. It can be used a maximum of two times per deployment. And it recharges only when her hitpoints drop below 50%.
Additional Insights
Based on recent reports from community sources and the official Supercell blog, Boss Bandit is meant for aggressive, high-damage plays. Her capacity to avoid damage and quickly reposition her makes her an ideal card for Bridge Spam and control decks. Although her high elixir cost requires careful elixir management, experienced players can use her double-dash capability to catch off guard and land critical tower damage.

Initial gameplay impressions point her as both a formidable offensive weapon and a strategic asset. As compared to the base Bandit, Boss Bandit’s higher health and damage output add a new level of strategy, but she is still susceptible to swarm units and well-positioned defensive structures.
