Unique Classes
Remember that even if a class is not Unique, there is a limit of at most two people of each class at the start of the game.
Night Action Order
The order of night actions is as follows (with a few exceptions):
- Occupation, Redirection, and Guarding
- Attacks
- Healing
- Investigative Abilities
- Conversion
Scum Reading
People who ask the King whether to execute or pardon are often scum trying to deflect responsibility to His Majesty and gain His favor at the same time.
Refusing to vote up an evil is often a better indicator of guilt than whether they ultimately voted to execute, pardon or abstain.
Someone who was previously leading the investigation but becomes suddenly quiet is likely converted.
"Meta" (IRL) excuses are usually low-attempt lies. For example, "Sorry I didn't post my logs because I had a phone call."
Fake-Claiming Alchemist or Physician
Consider publicly claiming that someone unsuccessfully attempted to poison or bleed you, in order to bolster your credibility. This is because real healers (Alchemists and Physicians) are immune to such effects, and the evil faction cannot target one of their own with poison and bleed.
What to claim when playing against The Princess
When dealing with The Princess, you'll want to claim a class that is of the same type that you are. You should avoid claiming a Unique class, as if there is really one, you will be known to be a fake. If you're converted and it's convenient for you, you can continue to claim the class you were before you were converted.
The types that a Princess can find you to be are:
Support/Social
The following claims are suitable for Alchemists, Mercenaries, Apostles, Illusionists and Ritualists. (Classes in italics are neutral, and may prove to be a weaker claim if you aren't that class)
Special/Investigative
The following claims are suitable for The Mastermind, The Cult Leader & Seekers.
Killer/Offensive
The following claims are suitable for The Assassin, Invokers, The Possessor, The Reaper and The Sorcerer.
Type Change When Converted
- Knight: Becomes Support/Social group once converted.
- Physician: Becomes Killer/Offensive group once converted
When playing as one of these classes, it is important to choose a different class to claim as, so that a Princess doesn't find out you are converted.

Troll Box Strategies
The Troll Box is an ability both The Scorned and The Fool have which allows you to make another player appear to say something of your choice. They will not know they said it. The following are some strategies for using the Troll Box.
Meta Troll Box
A "Meta" Troll Box is a use of the Troll Box ability to make someone appear to say something about Troll Box itself. For example, The Scorned might Troll Box one of their targets at the end of the day into saying, "Bleeding, please heal", and the next morning again into saying, "I was trollboxed, I wasn't bleeding." Since one cannot actually see their own trollboxes, the target will seem as if they were lying in both instances.
Fake Troll Box
A "Fake" Troll Box is something said by a player intended to appear as if it were a Troll Box. For example, a member of The Cult put on trial after being investigated by a Paladin might inject an out-of-place admission of guilt in the middle of their actual defense, with the aim of convincing the court that they are a target of a Scorned. To illustrate:
- Cult Leader: "I am a physician, I healed 9 last night!"
- Cult Leader: "I'm guilty just exe me I don't care anymore"
- Cult Leader: "If you execute me, you will lose the only healer you have left."
The middle line appears to be an actual use of Troll Box, painting the accused as an innocent victim. This strategy is most effective if the fake trollbox line is prewritten and copied beforehand then pasted immediately after another line has been posted.
You can frame someone as Scorned after the execution of a Blue Dragon member by saying something like, "Hi, I'm 5. I'm Scorned. That was one of my targets. Thanks for the win!", just as the day ends, so they don't have a chance to respond.
