15% of the damage dealt by the unit will be added to its life points.
Life Stealer is the unique passive for the Bandits, restoring a percentage of the damage the unit inflicts by attacking as health.
As it is a percentile, abilities and spells that increase damage dealt will boost the amount of healing the unit receives through lifesteal.Tips & Strategies
Bandit Spearmen depend heavily upon their massive damage output and lifesteal to secure them victory. Therefore, pairing them with spells like
Unholy Power will enable much greater survivability.
Campaign PvE

Patch History
This card has not been changed yet, compared to its original appearence in BattleForge.
Basic Info
A second tier soldier of the Wasteland Bandits is built for striking massive creatures. Not particularly capable of vanquishing an extra-large on their own, but by attacking in groups or leaving the mighty beasts crippled, they make it much easier to kill them.
Abilities
Unit is immune to knockback.
The Bandit Spearmen are totally unaffected by knockback, making knockback oriented counters ineffective.
Melee strikes force units to move at walk speed for 10 seconds.
Like the 
Scavenger, the Bandit Spearmen cripple movement upon striking. This makes it incredibly difficult to elude them once it lands a blow.
Tips & Strategies
Bandit Spearmen are notorious troop among the bandits for their slowing strikes and immunity to knockback. They are often more dangerous to smaller units than extra large units.
Use of Crowd Control is heavily recommended to vanquish them, since knockback does not work.
Trivia
- Bandit Spearmen are a Reskin of the
Spearmen.
- The Bandit card Bandit Spearmen is based on the Bandit Spearmen; but has more unique abilities.
