Kingdom Rush Battles continues to challenge players with evolving enemies and mechanics. Bandits’ Lair features Arenas 7, 8, and 9 — a fast-paced terrain where Bandit units rush past defenses, break chokepoints, and punish slow reactions.

In this guide, we’ll cover the best heroes, towers, spells, and tactics to overcome the sneaky Bandits and take down their bosses.


About Bandits’ Lair

Bandits’ Lair focuses on enemies that can bypass structures and pressure long lanes. You’ll need fast responses and strong crowd control to survive.

✅ Best Boosters:

  • Ambusher: Great vs. dragon strategies

  • Smoke Bomb: Helps overwhelm when pushing lanes


Best Heroes for Bandits’ Lair

  • Diedre: Healing and support help sustain against continuous pressure

  • Elora: Consistent DPS with useful crowd control

  • Dragon Heroes (Beresad, Ashbite, Eiskalt): Hard to obtain but extremely strong finishers



 Best Towers

  • DWAARP: Powerful stuns and AoE for clustered Bandits — ideal for chokepoints

  • Archery Scouts: Excellent long-range DPS and lane control

  • Arcane Wizards: Burst damage and teleport for enemy control

  • Hunters Outpost: High damage sniper-style support, creates strong offense and defense

Best Spells

  • Polymorph: Use on high-value targets, then combo with AoE like Rain of Fire

  • Rain of Fire: Destroys Bandit swarms before they slip by

  • Thunderbolt: Finishes off tanky Bandits and slows stressful pushes




Defeating Arena Bosses

  • Einar the Beastkeeper: High magic resistance — rely on physical and artillery damage. Block with tank units and interrupt his spin with stun spells to prevent massive damage and eagle spam.

  • The Kingpin: Cannot be stalled — focus on fast and heavy damage. Separate him from other enemies to avoid his healing aura. Stunning him during All Out! prevents reinforcements from spawning.

Recommended Deck Strategy

Bandits excel at slipping through weak setups — you’ll need strong crowd control and lane dominance:

  • DWAARP for stun and AoE

  • Archery Scouts + Hunters Outpost for ranged damage

  • Polymorph + Rain of Fire for emergency burst

  • Diedre or Elora depending on whether you need sustain or DPS
