The Bandit Blade is a Sword in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.
Availability[]
Obtained from Lindsay as a reward for completing the Quest "Avenge the death of Richter!" (kill 1 Revenant).
Characteristics[]
The Bandit Blade is a high-powered, non-elemental, one-handed sword with a base ATK of 53, dealing Slash damage. The only swords with fixed ATK that are more powerful are the Valkyrie Sword, Blue Rose, and Ridill if all three strikes connect.
The Bandit Blade is also one of the three weapons that have a special, exclusive Technique, as it has no Mastery bar, called "Back Steal". By performing the command: forward, back, forward, Miriam will teleport some distance forward, perform a single backward stab (i.e., in the opposite direction), and then return to her original position, giving a chance for the enemy to drop an extra item when struck (similarly to equipping the Pickpocket shard).
Trivia[]
- The "Back Steal" technique unique to this sword is very similar to the special attack of the Alucard Sword in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (co-directed by Koji Igarashi), and is likely a reference to it.
