Overview
Serial Killers are one of the most deadly roles in the game and essentially work as an independent Mafia. The Serial Killer must be the last player remaining in the game in order to win. The role has the ability to kill one player each night.
Strategies
- One of the most crucial elements to a Serial Killer's play is balancing the Town and Mafia until the end of the game. If either faction becomes too strong, the Serial Killer has no chance to win the game as once one of the factions is destroyed they will almost surely find the Serial Killer immediately. As a Serial Killer a player must keep the Mafia and Town in a relatively equal balance until the end of the game when they can strike and win the game.
- Investigators and Sheriffs are common enemies of both the Mafia and Serial Killers, whilst actual coordination between these two factions is impossible targeting one of these players even when they are being protected by a Doctor may take them out if the Mafia chooses to attack them as well. A player will not survive multiple night attacks unless protected by an equal or greater number of Doctors to the number of attackers.
- Feigning a Doctor when threatened by an Investigator will almost surely save a Serial Killers life as members of the Town are unlikely to lynch a player if there is a chance of them being the people protecting them. However a Sheriff will be able to see through this facade and thus should either be eliminated already, or eliminated the following night.
Options
- Invulnerable at night - (Default: Off)
- Kills Role-blockers - (Default: Off)
Notes
- Seen by a Sheriff as a Serial Killer unless the Sheriff is unable to detect Serial Killers in which case is seen as "not suspicious"
- Seen by an Investigator as owning knives like a Doctor
- If blocked by an Escort or Consort whilst the option Kills Role-Blockers is enabled, the Escort or Consort will die but the Serial Killer will still miss their target
