Boss Bandit
The 2025 Q1 update brings a brand new card to Clash Royale!
Boss Bandit is the 8th Champion to join the game, and the first to introduce an interesting mix between HP triggers and the Champion Ability.
At 6 elixir, this is the most expensive Champion we have seen so far. Her card description says the following:
The boss of the Forest Gang finally shows her face...kind of.
Boss Bandit dashes to her targets and is invulnerable while dashing. When things get tough, her pair of grenades are at the ready.
Card Stats
Boss Bandit has fairly high HP (2,803), which isn’t surprising given her 6 elixir cost. This puts her in a quite unusual slot that sits between medium melee units and the heavy ones.
| Card | Hit Points | Cost | HP/Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bandit | 906 | 3 | 302 |
| Knight | 1,766 | 3 | 589 |
| Golden Knight | 1,799 | 4 | 450 |
| Prince | 1,920 | 5 | 384 |
| Monk | 2,150 | 5 | 430 |
| Boss Bandit | 2,803 | 6 | 467 |
| Giant Skeleton | 3,617 | 6 | 603 |
| Pekka | 3,760 | 7 | 537 |
| Mega Knight | 3,993 | 7 | 570 |
The HP/cost ratio also sits between these 2 categories, so it’s not specially appealing.
If we take a look at the Damage Per Second (DPS), we find similar results:
| Card | Damage | Hit Time | DPS | DPS / Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Knight | 268 | 1.7 | 158 | 23 |
| Knight | 202 | 1.2 | 168 | 56 |
| Monk | 140 | 0.8 | 175 | 35 |
| Golden Knight | 161 | 0.9 | 179 | 45 |
| Giant Skeleton | 266 | 1.4 | 190 | 32 |
| Bandit | 194 | 1.0 | 194 | 65 |
| Boss Bandit | 268 | 1.2 | 223 | 37 |
| Prince | 391 | 1.4 | 279 | 56 |
| Pekka | 816 | 1.8 | 453 | 65 |
The DPS places her with good damage, but when we consider the cost, it becomes a below-average option.
However, as with the normal Bandit, these basic stats aren’t everything. When Boss Bandit dashes, she also deals double damage. The mechanics of this dash are also the same: it activates when the target is between 3.5 and 6 tiles away.
But this double damage isn’t as useful as with normal Bandit. The main reason is that there aren’t many troops that can be one-shot due to this boost, Magic Archer and Mother With are some of the few exceptions.
| Card | Damage | HP |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Knight | 161 | |
| Bandit | 194 | |
| Boss Bandit | 268 | |
| Firecracker | 304 | |
| Bomber | 332 | |
| Golden Knight Dash | 335 | |
| Bandit Dash | 389 | |
| Prince | 391 | |
| Magic Archer | 529 | |
| Mother Witch | 529 | |
| Boss Bandit Dash | 537 | |
| Ice Wizard | 688 | |
| Musketeer | 721 | |
| Prince Charge | 783 |
This means that despite having double the cost and damage, in many interactions with troops she behaves similarly:
- not enough basic damage to one-shot all small units
- not enough dash damage to one-shot all glass cannons
But wait, this isn’t it! Boss Bandit still has 2 more tricks up her... sleeve?
Champion Ability: Getaway Grenade
This ability has a 1 elixir cost, and the description says:
Briefly becomes invisible and teleports backwards!
When the ability is used, Boss Bandit moves backwards 6 tiles. This can be useful to avoid damage, and also to trigger another double-damage dash.
This ability doesn’t have a cooldown, so it doesn’t recharge over time like other Champion Abilities.
Champion Ability Recharge
Similar to cards like Goblin Demolisher and Evolved Goblin Giant, Boss Bandit has an HP trigger that activates when her HP gets below 50%.
This trigger instantly recharges her Champion Ability, which can be used for 1 elixir again.

Boss Bandit will be released with 2 mastery task sets.
