M A Medusa who is using a Stone Gaze on the night she was bitten will die along with the youngest being stoned.

How Affect Other Roles

 * A bite is a Basic Attack, and will interact with everything that affects them. In particular, it will fail if:
 * The target has at least Basic Defense, whether temporary or permanent. The youngest will get a notification of the target having a higher Defense value than their Attack value.
 * The target was healed by a . There is no notification for the youngest in this case, except the number of  not increasing.Verify that this is still the case in 2.0; there are conflicting reports.

 * The cannot be converted. You will get a message saying that they have a higher Defense value than the youngest 's Attack value, and can not be converted despite the  having a Basic defense "vest".
 * The cannot be converted, will not die, and will attack the  instead.
 * If the target was a member of the or the  and lacked Basic Defense, they will die instead of being converted.
 * Visiting or being visited by a will cause you to die from being staked in the heart.
 * Visiting a when they are jailed and executed, or role blocked will not prevent the  from killing you.
 * Visiting the same target the goes to on the same night will not get the youngest  nor the target killed by the.
 * If a protects a  and that  is visited by a, the  will kill the  (and die in the process). Note that, provided either of them kept up-to-date Last Wills, this will usually make the 's identity obvious as the  and 's target HAS to be a.
 * If a revealed is converted into a, they may be easily exposed as their vote will only count as 1 instead of 3. A converted  can also receive whispers, and everyone else can see this.
 * If a eliminates all, they will turn into a  with 1 bullet. Should an  remember that they are a , the  will not turn back into a . They will also be able to be converted into a.

 * If an 's target is converted into a, the will remain as his current role with the same target.
 * If a member of the other than the, or a member of the  other than the  with the Necronomicon is bitten, they will die. This does not count as a conversion, so the Vampires can attack again the next night.
 * Strangely, if a forces a  to bite another, there is no message for either party. The  will not get a message, and the bitten  does not receive a message informing them that they were not attacked. The next night, the  may bite again.
 * If a is controlled by a, then different things will happen depending on what night it is.
 * If the youngest  is controlled by a / on a night that they cannot convert others, the youngest  can be detected by a  and die to the . If any of the other alive  are controlled, none of the  will be detected by the  or die to a  or .
 * If any of the are controlled by a  on a night that they are able to convert others, the  will instead control the youngest  to their target.

Which Roles to Convert & Not to Convert

 * The most important thing is to find targets you can convert, and to avoid ones you can't. Never try to bite anyone you suspect of having permanent Defense, such as an.
 * Your highest priority are semi-confirmed that cannot visibly confirm themselves, such as the, , , , , and . They can lead remaining  to false direction. However, if your target is fully confirmed, is it not in your best interest to bite them, as they probably have  roles or  on them.
 * Around the transition to the late game, it may be helpful to convert semi-confirmed roles such as a . If someone starts to ask why nobody is role blocked or transported, may pretend one of them has been blocked or transported.
 * Consider converting and  around the middle of the game when their roles are confirmed. Converting them can also be decisive late in the game in order to prevent them from siding with the . If the  would otherwise have a majority, converting these  roles is preferable to converting.
 * roles, such as the and, are double-edged swords. They can kill  and/or  roles (which are enemies), but they also can kill . It is advisable to keep them intact until they start to suspect.
 * A or  can help at finding enemies, and the  in particular is unable to find, so it might be best to not bite them until after most of your enemies are dead.
 * Be careful converting a revealed unless you will have the majority afterwards. Their identity can be immediately re-confirmed during the day. The 's vote would be counted as 1 instead of 3, the  will be able to send and receive whispers again. Their identity can also be tested during the night phase (the  would be able to heal the previously revealed  who is now a, and the  will not be able to see  visits). If the converted player is careful, however, they can usually avoid actions which reveal them and benefit from the established trust of the town.
 * It's advisable not to convert a known, as they may be on alert and the may lose their youngest. If you do manage it, however, the  can become a valuable , as no evil wishes to visit a.
 * Try to spot and avoid the, as the youngest will be staked after visiting him.
 * Do not attack people who attract too much attention, such as "" who are acting all too obvious. They may be a baiting, watched by a, jailed by a , or killed. Try to predict who will not be attacked. Visiting completely silent people is not a very good idea either, as they are often enemies who have Basic or higher Defense.
 * If an makes their move early and it plays out badly, consider converting their target. Not only does this confirm the new  as a, and they can claim what ever is needed to get someone else lynched. However, if it looks like  may believe the , or the  might actually be whatever role they are claiming, your new  might be lynched, which both outs the fact that  exist and wastes your night biting them.
 * Remember that whoever you convert ends up on your side. Therefore, you should try to convert people who seem alert, intelligent, and serious about the game, both to get them on your side and to remove them as enemies. Unlike other roles, sometimes get to choose who their teammates are.
 * You can bite members of the to kill them. Doing so doesn't count as a successful conversion, meaning you can bite again immediately the next night. If you have a confirmed member of the, you should seriously consider biting them. Things to keep in mind:
 * If you have four, you will not be able to bite at all. Against a of four people or more, this could leave you completely helpless. Therefore, once you have three people, it is often better to focus on biting people you suspect of being members of the  rather than converting people. Killing a member of the  every night is worth more than a fourth person.
 * Sometimes, revealing one member of the can let you get others lynched: for instance, if someone is almost lynched, and you suspect that they're a member of the, you can bite them to kill them, then call for lynches on the people who wouldn't help vote them up.
 * It's also important to bite the when there's a danger of them hitting a majority or plurality. As long as your  haven't been exposed, you can always bite  later, but if the  gets a plurality or, worse, a majority, then it'll be too late for you to win, regardless of who you convert.
 * It's generally better to leave, , and unturned until the very end.  and  might only focus on the , while  are more likely to find and lock down a  role than they are to find your youngest (since they can easily see when a role block results in no  kill, while there's no indication to the  when they block your youngest). If the  consists mainly of these, it might be best to shift your focus to the.
 * On the other hand, be cautious about deliberately biting members of the if the  doesn't yet know  are present, since that will alert them and may lead  to reveal anyone who came up with a  /  /  result. Also, if there is only one, you should usually bite to convert, since you're in danger of losing to a random death.
 * If you're investigated, you might be called out or put under suspicion since there are no roles in your result. Claiming to be framed or pretending to be a  could work, but if it becomes clear there are many active, it may be too late.
 * Biting a can be useful to deny them the option of voting against you, but it's risky - if they use a vest, your night will be wasted.
 * A risky, but rewarding bite is biting a Psychic (Confirmed or Not.) as they can still pretend to be psychic while siding with the Vampires, Psychic can use fake good and evil results and trick the town, a downside to this is if both of the good results are evil or if all the evil results are good, this can easily get the Psychic lynched as if they aren't confirmed the town will think they're a Coven member or a Mafia member, or in another case, if they are confirmed and this happens the town will most likely think the confirmed psychic is a Vampire and proceed to lynch them, thinking that they turned into a Vampire if Vampires are in the game.

Identifying the

 * The is immune to bites and will kill a  if either they visit one, or is visited by one. As a result, it is a high priority to find the  before they cause any damage.
 * A good way of getting the to reveal early is to make them think there are already 2-3  in the game. Like the, the  can read anonymous messages sent by the . On Night 1, create a conversation and play both ends. Talk about how crazy it is that there are already this many  in Night 1. This will put pressure on the  and they will more often than not share any suspicions they have with the , revealing their role to you. Remember that in Ranked Practice or Ranked, only one  is possible at the beginning of the game.
 * A second method of tricking the into revealing his role is to mention a false name in the night chat. Say something like 'Get Player X' and instead, target someone different. Not only does this portray Player X as suspicious, but also reveals the  when they report to the town. If the  does not report his findings and instead finds the target to be human, they might assume that this person is immune and therefore still suspicious.
 * However, the might also assume that the  were tricking him, and not reveal himself, and also be less likely to believe the  in the future.
 * If you do choose to frame a player, do not bite them, as that player may be lynched or killed by the or.

General Tips

 * It is important to focus on removing anything you can't convert as quickly as you can; if the has four people, for instance, you could attempt cooperating with the town to eliminate them or try to kill them by yourself. You will need the numbers of the  or  to lynch the  if he does not get killed. Likewise, the  should be eliminated at all costs as soon as possible.
 * If you spot a, all should try to lure  into eliminating him without revealing his true identity. For methods to do so, see tips for.
 * Extra caution must be taken, however, since he can simultaneously test and kill you if he suspects you're going after him. Reporting to a in chat or discussion with the  is the best way to throw him into suspicion.
 * If you do manage to get a killed, immediately claim  by thanking the  for giving you a win. This will make them less likely to conclude that you're a . Remember,  are not unique, so if there's a second one, they're likely to go after anyone who seemed too aggressive about killing the first.
 * Remember, in tight role lists such as Ranked, only one of you can claim . If the gets lynched, smart  could realize that all of you are, causing your team to get lynched.
 * Since can hear  talking to each other at night, it's recommended to keep night discussions to a minimum and, if you absolutely have to, alter your writing style (that includes spelling, usage of emoticons, word capitalization etc).
 * Advanced players may attempt to trick the into wasting their visits on non-. However, this tends to be less valuable than tricking a  is to the .  don't have to reveal to follow up on leads because you can't kill them even if they do, and a successful trick usually isn't going to make them kill an enemy for you.
 * If your target was immune to biting, always write it down in your Last Will. As soon as you die, the suspicion may raise about the person you mentioned as immune-to-biting. This will allow you to help the town lynch criminals without revealing yourself, which in turn helps the . The only downside is that the immune person you hit might be a, who can win with.
 * They may also be an . However, unlike the, it's sometimes dangerous for to side with an  since his target may be someone who was converted to a.
 * If you need to accuse your target immediately during the day, you can pretend to be a who couldn't shoot a person at night and found they were immune. However, this can be dangerous if an existing  or  have missed a kill, since the  might assume you're an evil killer; additionally, if you accidentally accuse a  in this manner, you'll immediately be outed as a . Regardless of the outcome, this is likely to attract hostile attention from the . If your target was a, it is recommended to ask for protection since you are a "confirmed  role".
 * If are not explicitly guaranteed in the role list and you end up as one as a result of an Any entry, try to hide as long as possible (in Ranked the possibility of a  being in the game is 4%, meaning most players will assume there is none until they are revealed). The only way  can learn about presence of  is through a  or  dying or by you biting a member of the . If none of these things happen, the  will generally be unsuspecting until it's too late to resist. An added advantage to this is that  claims are more likely to be lynched if the  doesn't believe  are present.
 * If a player has Basic or higher Defense, say it in the night chat. The will hear this, and you can cooperate with the, getting rid of the  or  who threaten both of you. Additionally, the  will probably say this out loud, revealing him so you can avoid him.
 * If there is no alive, it may be in your best interests to form a truce with the remaining  to vote off  and . Being honest with proven  and whispering them your role and the name of other  can earn their trust, and most players will gladly take the secondary win as a  over losing as . Do NOT let this turn into gamethrowing, though.  lynching other  to get converted is against the rules.
 * Keeping a fake Last Will of your converting visits may help if there are inexperienced players in the game. This can lead to lynches against players who could be a nuisance to your team. However, if someone's Defense value is higher than the younger 's Attack value, it's best to tell the truth about them having a higher Defense value than the younger 's Attack value.
 * have much more leeway to lie in their Last Will than most other roles. Remember, your goal should be to help the win even after you die. Spreading confusion or getting the  to focus on hanging non- helps with this.
 * You can claim to have been any role you like prior to being turned into a . Use this to try and get a non- lynched by putting together a false Last Will with a list of visits. Claim to be a and list random non- as . Claim to be a  and say you saw a non- visit someone the night they were murdered. Claim to be an  and accuse someone of a suspicious role list, like //. You can even claim to have been a.
 * In fact, simply claiming to be whatever role you were before you were converted (Such as or ) is almost always the best way to claim. Continue writing your Last Will you wrote before you were converted and then adding in fake information might work, especially if they lynch an evil written in the top of your Last Will. This works especially well in ranked, due to the rarity of  in the game.
 * You can accuse anyone you like of being immune to conversion. This has two benefits, since it both throws them under suspicion and makes everyone think that there are fewer than there really are.
 * Even very transparent ruses are often surprisingly effective, since if your Last Will implies that a non- is guilty of something, both the and the  will use it as an excuse to hang them, and will probably only have to convince one or two.
