With the A Tale of Thieves season in full swing, Clash Royale has dropped its second weekly event for April called Boss Bandit Blitz. As the name hints, this one’s all about the new Champion card that recently joined the ever-growing roster. If you haven’t unlocked her yet, this event is your shot to test her supernatural powers, along with two Evolution cards on your deck.
Boss Bandit is a six-elixir card. While a bit pricey to cycle, she hits hard and can stick around longer, thanks to her HP recharge ability. Pairing her with the right mix of Evolution and regular cards is the real game-changer if you want to come out on top in the Boss Bandit Blitz event. This guide will walk you through some of the best Boss Bandit Blitz decks to help you stack up wins in Clash Royale.

Best Boss Bandit Blitz Event Decks In Clash Royale
Boss Bandit Blitz is the latest weekly event in Clash Royale, running from April 14 to April 21. During this event, players can only use one Champion card — and that’s the Boss Bandit, which is locked into every deck by default. Alongside her, you’ll choose two Evolution cards and five regular cards to round out your lineup.
Since the Season Shop is no longer around, earning crowns in this event will help you unlock event rewards through the Free Pass. And for a little extra flair, the Boss Bandit Blitz Challenge will also run from April 18 to April 21 — clearing it will score you an exclusive banner. Here are three of the best decks you can use to rack up wins in both the Boss Bandit Blitz event and the challenge in Clash Royale.

Boss Bandit works great as a tank, so start your push by placing her first. Then back her up with a solid support card (preferably a ranged one like Princess or Electro Wizard) to help chip away at enemy towers faster. If Goblin Barrel is in your hand, launch it toward the weakest tower for some quick and heavy damage. The main goal here is to destroy at least one enemy tower so that you can jump straight onto their side.
If a heavy unit like P.E.K.K.A or Giant shows up on your side, Elixir Golem or Mega Knight can hold the line, and you can even use Tornado to push them back. Once Boss Bandit goes down, send out Electro Wizard, Spear Goblins, and Elixir Golem to keep the pressure on their towers while saving your other cards for defense.
Deck 2

Cards |
Cost |
|---|---|

Boss Bandit |
Six Elixir |

Evo Executioner |
Five Elixir |

Evo P.E.K.K.A |

Skeleton Dragons |

Cannon |
Three Elixir |

Inferno Dragon |
Four Elixir |

Magic Archer |
Four Elixir |
This deck is a reliable option if you’re aiming to take the lead early and kick off the fight. Start by pairing either P.E.K.K.A or Boss Bandit with an air unit like Skeleton Dragons or Inferno Dragon. If the dragons aren’t in your hand, Executioner can step in just fine for splash damage. Just make sure to cycle your Evolution cards whenever possible — their evolved forms can flip the fight in both defense and offense. The Magic Archer and Valkyrie also shine as support; the Magic Archer can handle both air and ground threats, while Valkyrie clears out ground swarms with ease.
When you’re up against an enemy Boss Bandit, drop the Cannon right in the middle of your side — this will pull her away from your towers. Once she’s locked on to the Cannon, summon your own Boss Bandit to finish her off.
Deck 3

Although this deck leans toward the high-cost side, your strategy makes all the difference. Since this event lets you use Boss Bandit (who can handle just about any card with ease), it’s smarter to go for an offensive setup rather than play defensively. Like the aforementioned decks, your aim with this one should be to summon Boss Bandit first. But if she doesn’t show up early, start with a heavy hitter like P.E.K.K.A or Dark Prince, and back them up with Princess, Wizard, or Sparky for extra support. Once Boss Bandit cycles into your hand, send her straight into the fight. X-Bow and Goblin Barrel are also great for constantly targeting your opponent’s towers.
