Strategy
Fighting Burglars may prove difficult for newer players due to them being the first enemies introduced with 
Defense, leaving them with miscalculations in 
Damage. In addition, their Shoplift skill is extremely difficult to avoid, almost always resulting in the loss of an Item, and they aren't afraid to use Cheeseburgers and BBQ Sauce to stay alive longer. Burglars are always fought in groups of one or more alongside Bandits.
The ideal skill would be to use Fiery Explosion to severely injure the Burglars and eliminate all Bandits. Alternatively, Barrage can eliminate a single Burglar at a time. With a partner, an additional skill can be used to finish off the Burglars in a single turn. A 'Critical!' Stunning Giant Crowbar is an excellent way to one-shot non-corrupted Burglars. Alternatively, the threat of Shoplift can be lifted entirely with Ice Armor and 
Power Up gained from it will allow you to finish the burglars with a single Fiery Explosion.
Against 
Corruption 1 and 2 Burglars, they will have even higher Defense, making the Dull Rapier a better choice for its piercing after disposing of the accompanying enemies. Against Corruption 3 Burglars, they gain Barrage, which is a serious problem even if the first hit isn't dodged. Thanks to their high and Defense, players will need a diverse array of skills to take them out before the worst happens.
Trivia
- Burglars are the first enemies encountered to have Defense.
- Burglars are similar to a Corruption 1 Bandit due to having the same attack/power and defense.
- Burglars used to have Milk when Corruption 1 or lower but got nerfed in a newer version.
- Shoplift is unblockable unless you have enough defense with skills like Ice Armor and/or with items like BBQ Sauce.
