Overview[]
The Elite Bandit is an upgraded version of the Bandit and Bandit Trapper. They can be located in most places in Cambris, Den Of Thieves alongside a Bandit and/or a Bandit Trapper. They can be found by themselves in a group nearby the Crypt. One is also found with the King of Thieves boss. The Elite Bandit paired with the King of Thieves have a different look than the Bandits from the other places.
Farming Strategies[]
Elite Bandits are shamefully good for farming as they have the possibility of dropping many things.
An often-used strategy for eliminating Elite Bandits quickly is to use Hellfire the very first turn via 2 shadow trades or a Burning Pledge followed by a Shadow Trade and follow up with Fireball the very next turn. This will get rid of Elite Bandits within 2-3 rounds. Since the recent update and adjustment of Core Infliction, the Core Infliction/Fireball strategy is now rendered useless
If Hellfire is not an option, 3 Fireballs will easily do the trick by following the same method; Meditation and Shadow Trade. In this strategy, you'll be able to get rid of Elite Bandits within 3-4 rounds. Also Exploding Arrow or Tremor paired with attack buffs work well (100% worth of buffs for EA, 125% for Tremor)
If fighting with a Bandit alongside it, and if you're fighting alone, of course, a good card to use is Chain Lightning as it will take out a nearby Bandit while still damaging the Elite Bandit.
One good Elite Bandit farming strategy requires: (This can work on Bandit Trappers too)
- Hellfire (x1)
- Shadow Trade (x1)
- Burning Pledge (x1)
- Fireball (x1) (optional)
Steps:
- Play Burning Pledge or Shadow Trade the first turn
- Play the other bitgain the turn after.
- When the Elites are grouped up, use Hellfire.
- To finish the fight faster, use Fireball (Optional)
- Wait until victory
An easy farming strategy that only requires 2 fireballs and 2 attack buffs is better for early players.
Steps:
- Use an attack buff on yourself
- Pass your turn until you have a fireball ready
- Use fireball. In total the attack will do 45 damage.
- Repeat again for a total of 90 damage, killing Elite Bandit
