Bandit

How to unlock: The Bandit is unlocked after you clear Stage 3. This means that you have to clear both possible levels for Stage 3, one being the Underwater Catacombs, the other being the Frozen Tundra.

The Bandit fires Blast faster if you press faster! Use smokebomb to either run away or to stun many enemies at once, followed by Dynamite Toss. Dealing a killing blow with Lights Out allows you to chain many skills together, allowing for maximum damage and safety.

Tactics

 * Pressing Blast fast will cap out at around 1.4x faster speed than holding it down. Using a turbo gamepad or 3-rd party program will not increase his firing speed past 1.4x speed.
 * When used, Smokebomb also grants a speed boost for it's invisibility duration. It's stun effect occurs when the stealth ends, and only in the area around the Bandit.
