Bomber Witch (ボンバーウィッチ, bonbā uitchi)[1] is a recurring playable character.

Bomberman World

Bomber Witch is a playable character in the Battle Game. As an AI-controlled opponent, she behaves in a fickle manner. She will often intentionally take Skull items for herself.[2]

Bomberman Wars

Bomber Witch is one of four units led by Bomber Hero to defeat the Lizard Man. She is a default unit who is unlocked from the onset of the game. Although she has low mobility, she has the highest bomb placement range of any ordinary unit, which makes her capable of dropping bombs in places deeper into the opponent's territory, even beyond numerous obstacles.[3] This makes her an attack-oriented unit.[1]
