Bandit

Description
Passive - Backstab:
Bandit's attacks critically strike when hitting foes from behind, dealing double damage.

Effect - Hemorrhaging:
Utilt, Fair, and Dash Attack all inflict hemorrhaging upon critically striking, dealing damage over time. Inflicting it while it's still active will reset the duration and increase the damage dealt.

Jab & Nair - Burst:
Fires a projectile that damages 5 times per hit, decreasing in damage depending on how long the projectile's been out and how frequently it's been fired. Can only be shot 4 times before needing to reload, which Bandit will do automatically when not doing anything.

Uspecial - Smokebomb:
Bandit gains a short vertical boost and becomes faster and invulnerable for 3 seconds, ending early if he uses an attack. Once it ends, he gains another vertical boost. Has a 9 second cooldown, but can still be used on cooldown to get only the first vertical boost.

Fspecial - Desperado:
Bandit fires his pistol, releasing a fast projectile that deals increased damage the higher the hit opponent's percent. If Bandit kills with this move, it permanently increases in damage for the rest of the match. 4 second cooldown.

Dspecial - Flashbang:
Bandit throws a flashbang which, upon hitting the floor, explodes into a bright cloud of smoke. Opponents inside this area will be unable to use any of their attacks, and Bandit will deal additional damage to them. 15 second cooldown.

Nspecial - Dynamite Toss:
Bandit tosses a stick of dynamite that knocks foes into the air. 3 second cooldown.


Alternate Skills
Select a different version of a move on the character select screen.

Alt Jab & Nair - Blast:
Deals a fixed amount of damage that never decreases, and the projectile travels faster. Gains a random fire angle which increases the more frequently it's been fired.

Alt Fspecial - Lights Out:
Killing with this move instead resets Bandit's cooldowns. Landing a critical strike with this move will also reset cooldowns.

Alt Uspecial - Smoke Bomb:
Grants invisibility rather than invincibility. 6 second cooldown.

Bandit's low damage is intentional. He has several oppressive tools designed to trivialize neutral. His advantage state is worse than most, but he has an easier time getting advantage.

Bro, this is sick! I love how he works! I just wish he dealt a little more damage on most of his attacks. Feels like unless you always crit, every other character can deal more damage then Bandit can with little effort-

yo thanks for the feedback
currently working on a balance patch for him right now
I did an oopsie when making the if else statement for alt uspecial so it makes you invincible during playtest.
You're right about flash bang being dumb. I knew it would be annoying the second I thought of giving him it.
Making it so all flash bang aoes get destroyed upon being parried at any time, since you can still parry while blinded.

Hey mate your character is good but hes like a bit too good. His kit is nice but the Flash bang is waaay too strong since it nullifies all of the attacks for the opponents and its radius is pretty big. I think if anything making its affect time to be less than 15 would help it more. Also for some reason sometimes when Smoke Bomb is used it does give him invincibility
