Overview
The Investigator is one of the Town's more powerful roles and necessary to the long-term survival of the Town. The role can investigate a player at night, revealing a clue pertaining to their role or their role itself depending on the settings.
Strategies
- As an Investigator a player acts as one of the main advisers to the town with regards to lynching players. The Investigator must provide reports to the town on whether or not players are suspicious.
- When dealing with a player that owns knives it is often best to avoid speaking out about them directly unless you are certain that they are not a Doctor as it could be revealing one of the Town's more crucial roles to the Mafia. It is advised instead to Personally Message (PM) a confirmed Sheriff and have them determine if they are a Doctor or Serial Killer. For a more in depth discussion please follow the link Doctor lynch discussion.
- When being lynched early from an Executioner or Jester bandwagon or being framed with a Sheriff calling the Investigator out, the Investigator should avoid pointing out anyone they discovered as Doctor. It is better to first state that they found someone that is probably Doctor and that they don't want them to get killed.
- Great diligence is required of an Investigator if the Mafia has a Consort or if a Witch is in play, as revealing their clues too early may result in being role-blocked or fed useless information for the rest of the game. This is especially dangerous if the settings make it so the Investigator don't know they are being controlled by the Witch.
- Always leave a last will as an Investigator with important clues that have not yet been revealed to the town. This information is invaluable. Leave a last will by typing -last will message into the chat bar
