Bandit
Forest
Bandit is an Epic, Forest-trait troop at 4 Elixir. She dashes into range the instant combat starts and is briefly untargetable for the length of that dash, letting her reach a backline target before most troops have landed a single attack — an aggression tool more than a defensive pick.

Bandit exists in the main Clash Royale deck-building game too, where it's a legendary card costing 3 Elixir per deployment in a deck. Merge Tactics fields it differently — bought from the shop for 4 Elixir and merged for star upgrades, rather than cycled through a deck.
