Boss Bandit
Forest
Boss Bandit is a Legendary, Forest-trait troop at 5 Elixir. She opens combat by dashing several hexes toward a target and striking for double damage, then retreats back to a safer position — a hit-and-run attacker that deals heavy damage without staying exposed on the frontline afterward.

Boss Bandit exists in the main Clash Royale deck-building game too, where it's a champion card costing 6 Elixir per deployment in a deck. Merge Tactics fields it differently — bought from the shop for 5 Elixir and merged for star upgrades, rather than cycled through a deck.
