Boss Bandit

What it looks like

The Boss Bandit is a Champion card that is unlocked from the Royal Crypt (Arena 17). It spawns a single-target, ground-targeting, melee, ground troop with high hitpoints and high damage. If there are ground units between 3.5 and 6 tiles of her, she will stop moving and begin charging a dash attack which takes 0.8 seconds to execute, and will deal double damage. The Boss Bandit's ability allows her to get invisible for one second, then teleport 6 tiles behind her current spot. She appears as a woman who has teal eyes, light red hair in a ponytail and eyebrows, wields a wooden bat with three large golden bands, carries grenades, and wears a teal suit and a mask which covers her lower face, a dark brown cape with brass-colored linings, a golden headpiece, a team-colored waistcloth, brown gloves with team-colored handles and sandals, and long black socks. A Boss Bandit card costs 6 Elixir to deploy.
