“A pyromaniac outlaw who weaponizes flames to control the battlefield, the Fire Bandit excels at burning enemies, cooking food instantly, and unleashing devastating area damage with rare wildfire explosives.”
The Fire Bandit is a Fire Damage / Crowd Control class in 99 Nights in the Forest, specializing in fire-based combat, area denial, and reliable food creation. Starting with an Infernal Crossbow and a Wildfire, the class immediately gains strong early-game power and sustainable food sources.
As it levels up, the Fire Bandit gains the ability to ignite enemies using any weapon, drastically improving damage output. At max level, opening chests can reward bonus Wildfires, enhancing its crowd-clearing capabilities.
While the Wildfire supply is limited, clever use of the Infernal Crossbow and burn effects make the Fire Bandit a deadly and efficient class.
