*Often, claiming [[Survivor]] after a few days/nights into the game can benefit you, espesically if there is an [[Arsonist]] in play. Claiming [[Survivor]] can benefit you in this situation primarily due to the fact you win with EVERYONE, as long as you survive to the end. This means if you inform the [[Arsonist]] or [[Serial Killer]] that you can win with them if they survive to the end, you can simply "bribe" them passively that they have an ally among the [[Town]], which is more than appealing to these two considering they are generally without an ally throughout the whole game, and can help them in a tie-situation and even forces them to help keep you alive in certain situations. Just be sure to use caution when saying this, and do not directly say up front that you will support the victory of a [[Serial Killer]]/[[Arsonist]]/[[Mafia]], or the [[Town]] will surely lynch you if they lack any leads.

Overview

The Survivor has bulletproof vests that allow him to survive attacks at night. The Survivor must live to the end of the game in order to win - it does not matter who else he wins with.

Strategies

  • A distinct advantage over Citizens is that the Survivor can choose which faction he will support and change at any time. Simply biding your time and siding with the strongest faction near the end is a good way to win.
  • It can be a good idea to publicly claim Survivor ASAP. No one has any reason to see the Survivor as a significant threat. However, the Town sometimes chooses to lynch the Survivor if no other leads are available, for fear the Survivor may betray them later on.
  • It's usually better to use bulletproof vests sooner rather than later as a Survivor. Player deaths tend to be more random towards the beginning of the game and once everyone knows who the Survivor is killing roles are far less likely to target them.

Options

  • Number of bulletproof vests 1 - (Default: Off)
  • Number of bulletproof vests 2 - (Default: Off)
  • Number of bulletproof vests 3 - (Default: On)
  • Number of bulletproof vests 4 - (Default: Off)

If all the Number of bulletproof vests options are unchecked, the Survivor will have no vests.

Notes

  • Survivor wins with all roles at the end of the game, be it a Serial Killer, or Arsonist. As long as you survive to the end of the game, you win; no matter who is left standing with you.
  • A bulletproof vest will block multiple kills (except if Arsonist's ability to pierce night immunity is on).
  • Receives bonus points at the end of the game.
