Template:Story Ambusher
Mechanics
- You can choose to lie in wait at someone's house each night. You will deal a Basic attack to a random visitor.
- All visitors of your target will know your name, including the player you attacked.
- When all other Mafia Killing roles die, you will be promoted to a Mafioso.
Strategy
- Ambush important confirmed Townies. The Town would likely protect them allowing you to be able to kill them. This will always help with big hindrances such as Lookouts and Town Protective roles.
- Take note that if you choose a target protected by a Bodyguard, both of you will die.
- You only kill one visitor to your target and you are revealed to all other visitors, so be careful who you ambush. Randomly choosing a target early on is not a good idea, as it reveals your presence and likely won't have a huge impact on the Town.
- If you know that the Doctor is healing a Town role, visit the person that they are healing. You will kill the Doctor and leave the Townie vulnerable.
- Try visiting a person who has been accused of "being suspicious". This will most likely guarantee a hit against a Town Investigative role but still be careful of those being extremely suspicious as they, most likely, will be visited by more than one person, giving away your role. Beware, because Werewolves also use this tactic.
- Consider visiting the same person over and over again. You are more likely to hit someone if you stick to one player, as at some point, someone will probably decide to visit that player. Alternatively, this can be a bad idea, as you are more likely to be tagged by a Bodyguard if you continuously visit the target. This can also be a bad strategy if you think more than one person will be visiting your target.
- Do not fall for bait! It may be tempting to want to go on someone who seems to be acting strange, but even if they aren't a Veteran or a Medusa, they are more likely to be visited by multiple people, and thus your identity may be revealed.
