Mechanics

 * The has the ability to protect another player at night. The Crusader will kill one person who visits their protected target, no matter which role they may be.
 * Unlike the, the will not die protecting a target and, as a result, may continue protecting at night.
 * The protected target will not receive a notification about being protected, unless they were attacked that night.
 * If they were attacked, they will receive a notification stating "You were attacked but someone protected you!”
 * If they were attacked, the will receive a notification stating “Your target was attacked last night!"

Strategy

 * Always protect someone who asks for a Crusader on them, but not someone who asks for a on them. You may accidentally kill a  role.
 * Protecting a confirmed without or very low chance of a  is often a good idea as there is little reason for another player besides an evil one to visit the said . However, if another  visits the confirmed, you will kill them.
 * Often, you should not protect early in game as there is a high chance of killing a fellow.
 * If the late-game has begun and evils are nearing majority, protect every night. You need evils to be dead at this point and they have a high chance of visiting your target.
 * In a VIP mode game, protect the VIP on all nights. Players are often conscious that the VIP will be protected and would rather not visit him. This way, you can prevent the VIP from dying. However, some prefer to set a trap on the VIP after the first night. Then, you can guard someone else, for example, a  who revealed on day two.


 * If there are 2 or more crusaders in the game, they may kill each other visiting the VIP on the first night. Because of that you may want to say in chat on the first day that you will be protecting the VIP so no one else protects them. Though in this case it is possible that the Coven Leader will control you to a that is stone gazing. Only another Crusader can protect you from this. Furthermore, other  roles might not protect you because they think you are Medusa.
 * Watch out for people that claim Crusader on day 1 because they may be the trying to bait  roles.
