Well unfortunately this role has its flaws, just like every role.

Frst of all, this is a Mafia Protective role. Mafia Protectives generally don't fit with Mafia's aggressive playstyle. Note that this is pretty dorect protection as the killer might die.

This role can kill and its alignment would jave to be MK. I have explained this before and I will continue to edplain it. Mafia needs not more killing roles. Having Ambusher aleady is pushing the KPN to a swingy 2kpn for Mafia. That paired with a 1kpn from NK (it depends, but either way it increases the kpn) would almost guarantee a town loss.

Above all, however, this is a very major threat to NKs (and Jailor). Since NKs will be most likely to kill your target, chances are you'll lower the NK winrates... NKs need buffs, not nerfs. This also hardcounters Jailor's execution for Mafia, since you can rely on Avenging your Mafia who is in jail andaybe killing the jailor.

Welp have fun!
