“This burly villain has been spotted around the world as far back as 10 years ago. He's a master of stealth and theft, despite his giant stature. He's always got his sights set on the bigger picture, and he's constantly striking deals with shady crowds.”

Overview

The Bandit King is the first mini-boss the player will encounter. He is located in the Hidden Woods where his secret lair resides.

The Bandit King is a giant humanoid who is the leader of the Bandits and Burglars, signified by his similar aesthetics complete with crown.

Under normal circumstances, he is accompanied by Hidden Woods enemies (Bandits and Burglars) with quantity depending on leader's level.

Defeating The Bandit King is required to complete the Main Mission The Bandit King Showdown.

Skills

• Giant Crowbar (3) - Deals 5 damage to all targets. Has a chance to inflict Broken Bones to players. Dodgeable, but can be "Faked!".
  Dodging frame for this is as soon as the swinging animation starts.
  • The Bandit King has a different animation to tell if he will perform a "Faked!" hit, with the crowbar angled horizontally rather than diagonally.
  • (1) - Damage increased to 7.
  • (2) - Damage increased to 9.
  • (3) - Damage increased to 11.
• Item Stomp (1) - Deals 1 Damage to all targets. Has a chance to remove a random item from each hit player. Dodgeable.
  Before stomping, he will make a grunt-like noise, indicating he has charged the attack.
  • Item removal can also be prevented by having enough Defense to prevent being Damaged.
  • (1) - Damage increased to 3.
  • (2) - Damage increased to 5.
  • (3) - Damage increased to 7.
• Savage Steal (2) - Deals 7 Damage to a single target. Steals 25-30 Cents and has a chance to inflict Broken Bones against a player. Undodgeable.
  • Blocking will reduce the amount of Cents stolen.
  • (1) - Damage increased to 9.
  • (2) - Damage increased to 11.
  • (3) - Damage increased to 13.

Items

As a Giant enemy, The Bandit King is capable of using items.

• Cheeseburger - Restores 10 HP to itself or an ally.
  • The Bandit King carries two of these.
• Milk - Grants Charging-1 for five turns.
• Hot Sauce - Grants Power Up-2 for three turns.
• BBQ Sauce - Grants Defense Up-2 for three turns.

Strategy

Note: Unless stated, these strategies assume that none of the enemies are Corrupted.

Fighting The Bandit King is a relatively straight-forward task after the Bandits and Burglars are eliminated. From there, it's just a matter of dodging or blocking his attacks in order to stay alive.

As with all battles, the most effective way to defeat The Bandit King is with a team of four players. In the first turn, two players use Fiery Explosion (both must be 'Critical!') to clear out the Bandits and Burglars while dealing damage to The Bandit King. The other two can use Dull Rapier to whittle down The Bandit King. On the second turn, every player can use Dull Rapier to end the battle.

Alternatively, Giant Crowbar and Evil Impact can substitute for Fiery Explosion and Dull Rapier in this strategy respectively.

For an even faster strategy, the leader player can use Tough Stone Arm to reduce The Bandit King's Defense, two players use Barrage on The Bandit King, and one uses Stunning Giant Crowbar to wipe out the Bandits and Burglars. This allows the fight to be completed on the first turn.

Alternatively, using three Stunning Evil Impacts can substitute for Stone Arm and Barrage, though it is less SP efficient.

Against the Corrupted Bandit King, the Stone Arm does not reduce his Defense enough to be vulnerable to Barrage. Following the first strategy listed would be advised.

If any of the Bandits and Burglars are Corrupted, Fiery Explosion or Giant Crowbar can be used by one more player or to use Dull Rapier on them before The Bandit King.

Tips

• The Corrupted Bandit King Cloak is highly valued by many players, so it is typical to see them occupying The Bandit King's room in nearly every server. This may prove beneficial to newer players looking to just defeat The Bandit King once for the Main Mission by being aided by them.

Trivia

• The Bandit King is the first mini-boss the player encounters as part of the Main Missions.
• The Bandit King is currently the only enemy who is a Giant type.
• The Bandit King is the only enemy that holds a dialogue conversation towards the player.
  • The only other enemy that might qualify would be Bedrock, whom only speaks when triggering its Boss Cheat.
• The Bandit King does not have a flinch animation from damage over time statuses.
  • This is likely due to his size, making him prone to fall over otherwise.
