Overview

Survivors, much like Citizens, are extremely malleable strategic wise even if the role doesn't boast many night options. The role has bulletproof vests to survive attacks at night and must simply survive to the end of the game in order to win.

Strategies

  • A distinct advantage over Citizens is that the Survivor can choose which faction it would rather support and change at any time. Simply supporting the faction that is currently winning is a viable strategy to winning the game.
  • When threatened it is usually a good idea to simply claim to be a Survivor. Neither the Town or Mafia has any reason to see a Survivor as a significant threat and both can utilize the role to their advantage.
  • Unless dealing with a Neutral killing role such as an Arsonist or Serial Killer who has some momentum its usually better to use bulletproof vests sooner rather than later as a Survivor. Mafia kills tend to be more random towards the beginning of the game and once everyone knows who the Survivor is they are far less likely to target them.


Options

  • Number of bulletproof vests [1-4] - (Default: 2)
