"The Bandit is capable of acquiring special items called "Relics" from enemies and using them in battle.
Having both movement and attack Relics is key to the Bandit's playstyle. He must keep an eye on his stock and grow his luck to keep up a steady flow of Relics.
The Bandit can equip both small-swords and throwing weapons, enabling him to choose an appropriate attack style for each enemy.
The Bandit's luck stat increases easily, protecting him from status effects and making it easier for him to acquire Relics."
The Bandit (盗賊 Tōzoku, Thief) is the 6th of the 6 playable characters in Dragon Marked For Death. He was introduced in Version 3.0.0.
The Bandit is a lucky character who zips around with magical Relics created from stolen life force. Thanks to his Relics, he can perform complex combos and many mobility tricks. Except for the Megaton Bomb, his abilities derive from each of the playable characters, giving him lots of choices for growth. When opening treasure chests, his LUC rolls twice, making him the best for finding rare items.
To unlock Bandit, you must complete the final DLC scenario Quest with any character.
Story
History
The Bandit is a Dragonblood boy who bears the Dragon Scar on his palm. By making a contract with the ancient dragon Atruum, he possesses a dragon in his Dragon Claw and steals life force from all living creatures. The stolen life force becomes a magical tool known as a "Relic."[1] Once just as ruthless as Rivalis, Bandit joins the Dragonblood Clan survivors in their quest for vengeance due to sympathizing with them over the destruction of their home.

Weapons
Small-swords
"When equipped with a sword [sic], the Bandit's attacks are fast but short range. With precise timing, the Bandit's attacks can be cancelled into relic or Dragon Claw activations.
The Quick Dragon Claw is usable in mid-air.
Attacks restore a large amount of DP, suitable for making relics the Bandit's primary damage source."
| Skill | Input(s) | Canceled by |
|---|---|---|
| Slash (Small-sword Only)
|
Attack (Ground or Aerial) | Almost everything |
Small-swords are available starting from Level 1. With Small-swords, Bandit can do Slash attacks, which do 2 hits per Slash. He can continuously slash multiple times in the ground or in midair. The basic Slash gives 1.2 DP per hit, so combined with its rapid attack speed, it's an effective Weapon for building up DP.
After slashing at least 2x, you can cancel into Quick Dragon Claw. Also, the sword hitbox is bigger than it looks and the rate of damage is comparable to Empress's and Warrior's.
Ground vs. Aerial Slashes
On the ground, you can step forward one by one while slashing by pressing your movement inputs. Alternatively, if you want move fast while attacking, you can keep running and jumping to do repeated aerial slashes without stopping.
Shuriken
"When equipped with a shuriken, the Bandit's [sic] can attack at long range in various directions. Due to the radial throwing pattern, close range attacks will do more damage.
Shuriken attacks cannot be canceled into relic activations. Relics are best used to maintain a close range with enemies to connect with more shuriken and maximize damage."
| Skill | Input(s) | Canceled by |
|---|---|---|
| Throw (Shuriken Only)
|
Attack (Ground x3 or Aerial) | ‒ |
| Upward Throw (Shuriken Only)
|
↑ + Attack (Ground or Aerial) | ‒ |
| Downward Throw (Shuriken Only)
|
↓ + Attack (Aerial) | ‒ |
Shuriken are available starting from Level 1.[a] Shuriken can be thrown 3 times on the ground to do a 3-hit combo. During the 3-hit combo, Bandit will first throw his 3 Shuriken forward, followed by 3 more Shuriken that are thrown slightly upward, before finishing off with 8 Shuriken thrown in front of him. Shuriken can also be thrown in the air, but they do not form a combo.
The main drawback of Shuriken is that they give 0 DP and you can't cancel into Quick Dragon Claw, but they are effective in damaging enemies in a "shotgun" fashion. By the endgame, Shuriken are especially powerful.
Upward, Downward, and Aerial Shuriken Throws
By tilting the joystick up either on the ground or in midair, Bandit can do an Upward Throw, which shoots out 3 Shuriken diagonally upward while on the ground or in midair. By tilting the joystick down while in midair only, Bandit can also do a Downward Throw, which shoots out 3 Shuriken diagonally downward.
Aerial Shuriken fire significantly faster than grounded Shuriken. While using Ice Relic, you can throw aerial Shuriken with barely any cooldown while suspended in midair.
Swapping Weapons
You can bring both Weapon types because the Small-sword Slash is effective at gaining DP, while the Shuriken Throw is effective with "shotgun"-type damage. Past Level 50, Shuriken's damage tends to be stronger than Small-sword's, but Small-sword still has more DP gain and has more opportunities for combos with the Quick Dragon Claw.
Hit!! Count Calculation
The following table shows the minimum amount of AGI over the enemy's AGI that you need for a higher Hit!! count and the damage multiplier for that Hit!! count.[2]
| Weapon | Hit!! Count | AGI over Enemy AGI | Damage Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small-sword
|
2 Hit!! | 5 AGI | 1.5 |
| 3 Hit!! | 10 AGI | 1.8 | |
| 4 Hit!! | 15 AGI | 2.03 | |
| 5 Hit!! | 20 AGI | 2.25 | |
| 6 Hit!! | 25 AGI | 2.47 | |
| 7 Hit!! | 30 AGI | 2.7 | |
| 8 Hit!! | 35 AGI | 2.94 | |
| Shuriken
|
1 Hit!! | Restricted to 1 Hit!! | 1 |
Attack Values & Dragon Power (DP) Gain
The following table shows various attacks and their Motion Values and how much Dragon Power (DP) you can gain from them depending on the Weapon. 10 points = 1 segment. Relics do not generate DP.[2]
| Attack | Motion Value | DP Gain (Points) |
|---|---|---|
| Small-sword Slash | 2.8 | 1.2 |
| Shuriken | 5.5 | ‒ |
Dragon Skills
"The Bandit's Dragon Skills consist of the Dragon Claw and Dragon Relic.
However, under a
water [sic] or
wind contract, the Dragon Relic will not have any direct attack power."
Overview
For Dragon Relics, please see the Dragon Contracts section.
Dragon Claw and Dragon Reload are the Dragon Skills that allow Bandit to extract Relics. Both abilities will extract at least 1 Relic that corresponds to the Bandit's current Dragon Contract. For example, 
Thunder Contract will extract at least 1 Thunder Relic every time Dragon Claw or Dragon Reload is performed.
General Relic Extraction
LUC increases the number of Relics pulled from Dragon Claw and Dragon Reload and also increases the likelihood of Dragon Relics:[2]
- 60 LUC = 4 pulls
- 100 LUC = 5 pulls
In general, you should use:
- Dragon Claw if you want more of your Dragon Contract's matching Relic or a Relic that "wins" against an enemy's Element.
- Dragon Reload if you want missing Relics.
Dragon Relic Probability
The probability of extracting a Dragon Relic (with no cap) is:[2]
Probability = LUC / 5
Even if you draw 2 Relics of the same type, the probability of pulling a Dragon Relic is unaffected.
Dragon Claw
| Skill | Input(s) | Canceled by |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Claw | Dragon Claw | ‒ |
| Dragon Claw Combo | Hold Dragon Claw | ‒ |
| Quick Dragon Claw (Small-sword Only)
|
Dragon Claw after Slash | ‒ |
| Air Dragon Claw | Dragon Claw in midair | ‒ |
Dragon Claw is a Dragon Skill with multiple alternatives that allows Bandit to extract Relics from enemies and deals Holy damage. Ground Dragon Claw consumes 2 DP, while Air and Quick Dragon Claw consume 1 DP.
When performing Dragon Claw on the ground, Bandit winds up before he leaps forward and extends his attack.[b] Upon landing a hit on an enemy, Bandit extracts Relics and inflicts his Dragon Contract's corresponding Status Ailment.
Dragon Claw changes depending on if you decide to hold the input or release it early. It also changes depending on whether you are using a Small-sword or a Shuriken.
Dragon Claw Combo
If you hold down the Dragon Claw input after landing the attack on an enemy, Bandit will perform a Dragon Claw Combo. This attack latches onto enemies, dealing a maximum of 16 hits and extracting extra Relics at intervals of ~0.7 seconds (4 extra Relics total) before Bandit rebounds into the air.
During the Dragon Claw Combo, Bandit is stationary and vulnerable to attacks. After he extracts 4 Relics, he will rebound. Alternatively, releasing the input early will also cause an early rebound. The leaping animation has I-frames.
Quick Dragon Claw (Small-sword Only)
Exclusive to Bandit's Small-sword, a Quick Dragon Claw can be performed by pressing the Dragon Claw input after 1 or more Slashes, thus removing the start-up frames. Like the other versions of Dragon Claw, you will rebound into the air.
You can combo Quick Dragon Claw into an Air Dragon Claw after the rebound is completed.
Air Dragon Claw
Bandit can perform Dragon Claw in midair to do an Air Dragon Claw. It has a wind-up period that is slightly faster than the grounded version, and you can perform it to cancel aerial Slashes. After the wind-up period, Bandit will launch himself diagonally downward until he touches the ground or hits an enemy. Again, after hitting an enemy, Bandit will rebound.
You can perform an Air Dragon Claw up to 2 times in a row.
Dragon Claw Relic Extraction
When extracting Relics from an enemy using Dragon Claw, you are guaranteed up to 2 different Relics:[2]
- 1 that matches with your Dragon Contract (ex. Thunder Contract extracts 1 Thunder Relic)
- 1 with an Element that "wins" against the enemy's Element (ex. You will get 1 Fire Relic from a Thunder enemy)
If you use Dragon Claw against an enemy that does not have an Element, then a "winning Element Relic" won't be guaranteed, so there's a higher probability of pulling a Dragon Relic instead.
Dragon Reload
| Skill | Input(s) | Canceled by |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Reload | ↓ + Dragon Claw | ‒ |
Dragon Reload can be used on the ground to extract Relics at the cost of 2 DP. When performing Dragon Reload, Bandit will extract Relics after a short animation, and the number of Relics pulled depends on LUC. He's vulnerable to attacks while extracting but gets I-frames afterwards. Dragon Claw automatically activates if you are short on DP or you try to do it after a Slash.
Dragon Reload Relic Extraction
Out of your total number of pulls[c], 2 pulls prioritize missing Relics. The rest of the pulls are random, meaning you can also pull Dragon Relics.[2]
Limitations with Dragon Sphere
After activating the Dragon Sphere, Dragon Reload will always extract 1 of every normal Relic, but will no longer extract Dragon Relics. However, you'll still be able to extract Dragon Relics when using Dragon Claw on enemies.
Relic Abilities
Overview
Relic Stock
Full stocks are in yellow while depleted stocks are in red.
A speech bubble of a depleted
Thunder Relic.
Bandit carries his Relics in a Relic Stock. By default, Bandit starts with 1 of each Relic. Using a Relic will consume 1 Relic from the number stored. For example, using a Thunder Relic will deduct 1 Thunder Relic from his stock. Each Relic has its own stock and different maximum stocks. If Bandit runs out of a certain type of Relic, he will not be able to perform that Relic's move, and a speech bubble showing the depleted Relic will appear above his head.
Cancelling Attacks
Most of Bandit's Relics can cancel into each other, allowing you to create a variety of combos for him. Each Relic can cancel into a specific other set of Relics or attacks and vise-versa. In the following sections, these cancel routes are listed in the input charts for each of the Relics.
Fire Relic
| Skill | Input(s) | Canceled by |
|---|---|---|

|
↑ + Dragon Claw (2x is spike attack) | (Spike landing)IceWindThunderPoison
|
Fire Relic is a 2-part attack with great maneuverability. Upon doing the first input, Bandit performs an uppercut high into the air. Then, at the peak of the uppercut and with no stock cost, you can press the Fire Relic command again to crash down in a spike attack, descending until you impact the ground. As the spike attack descends, enemies are knocked down with it. This attack deals Magical Damage, can give 
Burn to susceptible enemies, and consumes 1 Fire Relic to use.
Both the Fire Relic's rising duration and falling duration have I-frames throughout their animations. If an enemy is moving downward while performing the Fire Relic, you can land multiple extra hits until the enemy touches the ground.
Relic Stock
By default, Bandit can carry 3 Fire Relics and perform 1 in the air. 
Fire Bandit can carry 6 Fire Relics and perform 2 in the air. Fire Contract also increases the number of hits during Fire Relic's uppercut, and increases the damage of the falling spike.
Combo Opportunities
You can choose to use the Fire Relic with only the uppercut to reach high heights, especially when chaining with Wind Relic.

With an Ice Relic (AKA Water Relic), Bandit fires a stream of water at the ground, allowing him to suspend himself in the air for a limited time. The jetstream hits enemies below him multiple times before deactivating. This move deals Magical Damage, can give 
Frostbite to susceptible enemies, and consumes 1 Ice Relic to use.
Bandit can move left and right while the jetstream is active, but cannot change the direction he is facing. For example, if Bandit was facing to the left when the Ice Relic was activated, then he will remain facing the left direction, and he cannot turn to the right.
Relic Stock
By default, Bandit can carry 3 Ice Relics and perform 1 Ice Relic in the air. Ice Bandit can carry up to 6 Ice Relics and perform 2 Ice Relics in the air. Ice Contract also doubles the active duration of Ice Relic.
Combo Opportunities
Advantages for Shuriken
Ice Relic suspends Bandit in the air at the height the Relic was activated, making it easier to aim aerial Shuriken throws. Aerial Shuriken fire much faster than grounded Shuriken, so using them in tandem with Ice Relic results in almost no cooldown between shots.
Wind Relic

Wind Relic is an attack and movement utility that blasts Bandit upward in a floaty jump, hitting all enemies near him. This move deals Magic Damage, can give 
Confusion to susceptible enemies, and consumes 1 Wind Relic to use.
Relic Stock
By default, Bandit can carry 4 Wind Relics and perform 2 in the air. Wind Bandit can carry up to 6 Wind Relics and perform 3 in the air.
Combo Opportunities
When Bandit launches himself upward with Wind Relic, he will briefly float in the air before regaining his fall speed. The floating phase can be canceled with Ice Relic.
Thunder Relic

Thunder Relic is an attack and movement utility in which Bandit dashes far forward and, if he hits an enemy, rebounds into the air. This move deals Magical Damage, can inflict 
Paralysis on susceptible enemies, and consumes 1 Thunder Relic to use.
Activating the Relic has some start-up frames, which leaves Bandit vulnerable to attacks before he can actually launch forward. Throughout the dashing animation of Thunder Relic, Bandit has I-frames.
Relic Stock
By default, Bandit can carry 4 Thunder Relics and perform 2 in the air. Thunder Bandit can carry up to 5 Thunder Relics and perform 3 in the air. Thunder Contract also increases Thunder Relic's damage.
Combo Opportunities
Thunder Relic can be used as a quick starting attack to catch enemies off-guard and travel long distances.
You can chain the somersault into Air Dragon Claw to dive back into the enemy.
Poison Relic

↓ + Relic on the ground | ‒ |
Poison Relic temporarily increases the damage of all of Bandit's attacks by 1.75x (2x with 
Poison Contract). It consumes 1 Poison Relic to use.
Upon activating the Relic, Bandit cannot move for a short time. You should use this Relic when in a safe distance away from enemies or when the enemy is incapacitated.
Relic Stock
By default, Bandit can carry up to 3 Poison Relics. Poison Bandit can carry up to 5 Poison Relics
Combo Opportunities
You can't chain Poison Relic into anything, but you can use it at the start of any combo to raise your damage.

Dragon Contracts
Bandit's Dragon Contracts change his Dragon Relic and increases the maximum stock of their matching Relics.
Thunder Contract
"Thunder relic focus. Dragon Relic is area attack." ― Atruum's Den
"
They can store more thunder relics as well as use thunder relics more times consecutively in mid-air.
Their Dragon Relic allows them to throw a large bomb that causes multiple hits when it explodes."
Thunder Contract is Bandit's default Contract. His Thunder Relic stock increases to 5 and aerial uses to 3.
Thunder Dragon Relic
| Skill | Input(s) | Canceled by |
|---|---|---|
| Thunder Dragon Relic ( Megaton Bomb)
|
Dragon Relic (Ground or Aerial) | ‒ |
Thunder Dragon Relic can be used in midair or on the ground. When performing Dragon Relic, Bandit will launch himself backwards and diagonally upward, then throw a Megaton Bomb that will explode upon hitting an enemy, wall, or solid object, dealing multiple hits. The bomb deals Holy damage and consumes 1 Dragon Relic to use. You will rise diagonally backwards into the air each time you throw.
You can carry a maximum of 4 Thunder Dragon Relics and throw bombs one after the other.
If you are hit during the rebound animation, it will consume 1 Dragon Relic but won't throw the bomb, so be careful not to get hit while throwing.
Also, if you press the Jump button on the right frame (immediately after the throw animation), you can make an air hop (AKA a "Neon Jump"[d]), to reach unintended heights (see the video above).
Poison Contract
"Poison relic focus. Dragon Relic allows lock-on." ― Atruum's Den
"
They can store more poison relics and poison relics will have an increased effect.
Using a Dragon Relic will cause the Bandit to dash forward and lock onto any enemy on contact for a period of time."
Poison Contract is one of Bandit's Contracts. His Poison Relic stock increases to 5 and damage boost to 2x.
Poison Dragon Relic
| Skill | Input(s) | Canceled by |
|---|---|---|
| Poison Dragon Relic ( Dragon Dash)
|
Dragon Relic (Ground or Aerial) | ‒ |
Dragon Relic can be used on the ground or in mid-air. Upon pressing the Dragon Relic input, Bandit performs Shinobi's Dragon Dash, in which he dashes forward and, if the attack hits an enemy, it will deal Holy Damage and lock onto that enemy for a period of time. Depending on the Weapon, attacks will deal either Physical or Holy Damage. This move consumes 1 Dragon Relic to use. You can carry a maximum of 3 Poison Dragon Relics.
Throughout the Dragon Dash animation, Bandit has I-frames. The duration of the lock-on can be increased with PIE.
Poison Dragon Relic Small-swords
Small-swords deal Physical Damage. When locked onto an enemy, Bandit's Slash will automatically hit the target that he is locked onto. Slash still retains its hitbox, which means it still damages the locked-on enemy as well as other enemies that come in contact with the sword.
Poison Dragon Relic Shuriken
Shuriken deal Holy Damage. While locked onto an enemy, Bandit's Shuriken will now hit only the target that he is locked onto.
Fire Contract
"Fire relic focus. Dragon Relic is a fire attack." ― Atruum's Den
"
They can store more fire relics as well as use fire relics more times consecutively in mid-air.
Their Dragon Relic fires powerful, forward-facing shots for a set period of time."
Fire Contract is one of Bandit's Contracts. His Fire Relic stock increases to 6 and aerial uses to 2. For the Fire Relic, it also increases the number of hits of the uppercut and increases the damage of its spike attack.
Along with Ice Contract, Fire Contract has the strongest Dragon Claw and Quick Dragon Claw.
Fire Dragon Relic

|---|---|---|
| Fire Dragon Relic ( Dragon Cannon)
|
Press and hold Dragon Relic (Ground Only) | ‒ |
Dragon Relic can only be used on the ground. To use it, you need to hold down the Dragon Relic button. Bandit performs Empress's Dragon Cannon, in which he charges up his Dragon Claw before firing a barrage of projectiles in the direction he is facing. This move deals Holy damage and consumes 1 Dragon Relic to use. You can carry a maximum of 2 Fire Dragon Relics.
Bandit will be stationary throughout the entire attack, making him vulnerable to attacks. Bandit will stop firing Dragon Cannon when he gets hit or you let go of the Dragon Relic button. When ending the Dragon Cannon, there will be recovery frames in which Bandit cannot move nor attack before he can do any action again.
Ice Contract
"Ice relic focus. Dragon Relic is a guard skill." ― Atruum's Den
"
They can store more ice relics as well as use ice relics more times consecutively in mid-air.
Their Dragon Relic deploys a protective barrier, but only for a limited period of time."
Ice Contract is one of Bandit's Contracts. His Ice Relic stock increases to 6 and aerial uses to 2. The duration in which the Ice Relic is active is also doubled.
Along with Fire Contract, Ice Contract has the strongest Dragon Claw and Quick Dragon Claw.
Ice Dragon Relic
| Skill | Input(s) | Canceled by |
|---|---|---|
| Ice Dragon Relic ( Dragon Shield)
|
Press and hold Dragon Relic (Ground Only) | ‒ |
Dragon Relic can only be used on the ground. To perform, you need to tap or hold down the Dragon Relic button. Bandit will perform Warrior's Dragon Guard, in which he deploys a shield that will block all attacks. You can keep holding the Dragon Relic button to heal an amount of HP per tick for a limited time. However, if you hold the Dragon Guard for too long, Bandit will get stunned for a few seconds. This move consumes 1 Dragon Relic to use. You can carry a maximum of 2 Ice Dragon Relics.
The duration and HP heal per tick for Dragon Relic can be increased with PIE.
Wind Contract

|---|---|---|
| Wind Dragon Relic ( Dragon Surge)
|
Dragon Relic (Ground Only) | ‒ |
Dragon Relic can only be used on the ground. To perform, you need to tap the Dragon Relic button. Bandit will unleash Witch's Dragon Surge, which will:

Builds in General
More than the other playable characters, Bandit has a wide variety of builds you can make. Even if you try to specialize in 1 attack type, most if not all of Bandit's moveset is still viable, making him a versatile character. The following builds are just baseline suggestions for building him.
Magical - INT, LUC, & PIE
A Magical build focuses on dealing damage with Relic combos. The M.ATK stat from your Weapons matters the most to determine how much damage your normal Relics will do.
| Contract | Info |
|---|---|
| Wind
|
Dragon Surge provides infinite Relics and more options for Relic combos |
Holy - PIE & LUC
If you want to go for a Holy build, you can select a Dragon Contract with a Dragon Relic that deals high Holy damage. You'll need LUC to have a higher chance of pulling Dragon Relics.
If you have Small-swords from a higher-level Empress in your save file, you can potentially equip high-level PIE weapons like Heavy Schiavona prematurely, although your basic attacks will be poor.
| Contract | Info |
|---|---|
| Thunder
|
Megaton Bomb's total damage formula is PIE * 12 * 12 hits * 4 bombs (ex. 100 PIE * 12 * 12 hits * 4 bombs = 57600) |
| Fire
|
Dragon Cannon's total damage formula (with 1 successful Dragon Relic) is PIE * 5.5 * 60 hits (ex. 100 PIE * 5.5 * 60 = 33000) |
Physical - STR
[Description]
If you're using only Shuriken, you don't need AGI because Shuriken are restricted to 1 Hit!! count.
| Contract | Info |
|---|---|
| Ice
|
Ice Relic's active duration is 2x longer, making it more effective for aerial Shuriken positioning; aerial Shuriken have almost no cooldown between throws
|
| Poison
|
(help explain pls -G.R) |
| Fire
|
Burn increases your Physical damage against enemies by 1.5x
|

Chest Reroll
When opening chests, Bandit gets 2 rolls to pick up a rare item. Basically, upon opening a chest, the game rolls a drop, but if the drop is not rare, it will roll again. The formula is:[2]
Chest Reroll = 1 - binomdist(0, 2, rare frame rate, false)[e]

- ↑ 60 LUC = 4 pulls. 100 LUC = 5 pulls.
- ↑ A community term that is a reference to Mega Man X2 and X3's "Neon Jump" exploit.
