Assault 	Attacks the opponent repeatedly and flourishes them away with a kick. 	◯ 	◯ 	(★☆☆)
Critical	[Battleaxe & Mace] Raises weapon above their head before firmly slamming it down into the ground, breaking the victim's guard.
[Messer & Iron Sword] Performs a windup before thrusting the blade forward into the enemy's chest, breaking their guard. 
[Gilded Knife] Winds up before unleashing a quick flurry of three slashes.	◯ 	✗ 	(★★☆)
Feint 	Attacks, but stops during the windup in an attempt to catch the opponent off-guard.	N/A 	N/A 	(★★☆)
== Finisher ==
A Bandit Leader executes their opponent after knocking them:

[Battleaxe & Mace] User pins down opponent while raising their weapon before firmly bashing the opponent's face in.
==Tips==
*Parry trade them until their posture breaks.
*Alternatively, parry then use your critical.
*Try pinning them against a wall and then feinting your next attack before performing a critical.
*Feinting and using Mantras can prove quite effective.
==Trivia==
*The Bandit Leaders, especially if they wield the Silver Dagger, are infamous for being extremely difficult (at lower levels) on higher ping servers due to the AI's immediate input paired with the speed of daggers, as well as sometimes being able to shred through a player's Blood bar and indirectly kill them that way.
*Their "Iron Sword" is not seen anywhere else in the game, and cannot be obtained by players.
*They used to be called "Bandit Captains."
