Vigilante
From Epicmafia
- A dirty cop who kills one person every night.
- Sided with the village.
[edit] Abilities
- Can shoot someone every night.
[edit] Strategies and Tactics
- Vigilante shots are more accurate in the late game, when the field of suspects has been narrowed down and there has been a lot of interaction from every player. Try to stay alive until the late game, pay attention to everything that has been said, and think before you shoot.
- Remember that your claim is a safe claim. Anyone countering your claim can be killed by your own, so don't be afraid to claim it
- Try not to shoot on N1, you might hit an important power role.
- Shoot ONLY if you're certain, or if town can afford it (ie. there are 8 people, out of them 2 mafias).
- However, some setups favor a shoot at Night 1, most are not. Study the setup and work out the probability of a possible scum hit. e.g.:
- In setup936, there are 2 mafia (hooker, vanilla), 1 fool, 1 granny, 1 cop, and 1 watcher. If the vigilante shoots at night 1, chance of hitting an anti-town role is 1/2 - with a 1/6 risk of death-by-granny and a 1/3 risk of shooting cop/watcher.
- In setup853, there are 2 silencers, 1 fool, 1 cult, 1 shrink, 1 tracker, and 1 watcher. If vigilante shoots at night 1, chance of hitting an anti-town is 4/7 - slightly better than the previous setup's 1/2, and without the risk of death-by-granny.
- Because of the risk of visiting granny (and thus dying) and having lower odds, 936 does not favour a N1 shooting, but 853 does.
- If the vigilante is shot by the mafia, the vigilante's own shot will not succeed.
- If the vigilante is converted by the yakuza, the vigilante's shot will still succeed.
- If the vigilante is shot by the killer, the vigilante's shot will still succeed.
