Combat overview
Raid Bandit is the event-only variant of Bandit that spawns during the Boat Raid — a scripted encounter tied to island Ships events. 60 HP (50% tougher than a normal Bandit), same 8 damage per hit, faster 13 walk speed, and a slightly longer 10-stud attack range. Does not respawn once killed — the raid ends when all raiders are down or time runs out.
Strategy
Raid Bandits are the raid's cannon fodder — kill order is Bandits first, Pirates last. A Machete two-shots each Raid Bandit (15 dmg × 4 = 60 HP). Focus on grouping them together with a chokepoint if the plot layout allows.
Hits to kill by tool
60 HP divided by the tool damage, rounded up. Lower is better — the fewer hits, the less time the enemy has to hit back.
| Tool | Damage/swing | Hits to kill |
