User blog:HAWAIIANpikachu/The mafia team: Ranked

​Introduction
The ambusher was a new mafia killing role released in the coven update. The idea is to visit a target and randomly attack a visitor that visits your target. While on paper this sounds balanced, but on paper this is really underpowered the way it is.

​Easily removed
This role is EASILY the weakest mafia role in the game due to how fast this role can be found out. Besides the obvious ways (TIs), there's plenty of OTHER ways for it to be found out due to it's ability
 * 1) 2 or more people visit your target, getting alerted that You killed player X
 * 2) You attacking a role with defense.
 * 3) A medium.
 * 4) A retributionist.

​How it "helps" the mafia.
It, under most areas, can help mafia by killing 1 town role (Maybe a second IF it gets lucky). If it attacks the transporter or the TP, I guess you could say it did it's job. But because you're losing one mafia member (going down from 4 to 3) compared to 1/2 townies (going from 9 to 8/7), it's really not worth it.
