Mafia is more powerful in many ways.

First:The Coven lacks a good attack role, poisoner can be easily countered, potion master needs a cool down, Hex Master has to hex everyone, and Medusa can only hit visitors, not to mention the coven’s biggest buff in killing can only apply to 1 person at a time.

Another thing that makes the mafia powerful is their unpredictability. A random Coven can easily confirmed by the kill message, and for the mafia? Only mafioso/godfather, ambusher and janitor can be found easily.

Many of these were mentioned by Karp, but I would like to add one more fact that makes the Mafia stand out:

Their protections abilities, a lot of people don’t know this, but the Mafia can actually confuse the town faster then the Coven. Sure the Necromancer can certainly cause some chaos with the corpses, but the mafia?They can disguise and use a fake will, change the invest results, stop a important member from being executed, or even claiming something you really aren’t.
