Disguiser

A woman steps out of her office into the streets of Salem. She waves goodbye to the doorman and makes it home safely. Her mother and father come over and celebrate her twenty fifth birthday, surprising her with a cake and a card. The mother pulls her daughter aside and asks her if she's feeling okay. The daughter says she's fine, just feeling a little under the weather and the mother gives her a kiss goodbye. She steps into her room as her parents prepare to leave and hears her mother say that she is going to stay a while. Suddenly the door to the woman's room breaks open and a man steps in holding a gun. She recognizes him as a known Mafioso and screams for her mother to help, but her mother just stands in the doorway and pulls off the wig and skin-grafted mask she is wearing; revealing herself as a thin and sweaty man. The Disguiser listens to the woman's voice as she pleads for mercy, rehearsing his next great act.

Strategy

 * Killing and impersonating the person revived by Retributionist might be a good way to gain Town's trust - unless your nature as Disguiser is exposed, they will trust you completely on the account of "you" already dying and having "your" role publicly announced.


 * One strategy is very dangerous. You can play as though you were a bad jester. Say you are a Disguiser and shout random, real names, and say they are the other Mafia members. Do this to the point where everyone thinks you're just a bad jester, and hopefully nobody will want to lynch you, but if you play being a Jester too well, you might end up getting lynched by someone who wants to "help the Jester out".


 * You could also try to accuse people and try to get them lynched. Once you do get them lynched, switch into someone else's body and repeat the process again. You may also protect other Mafia members by doing this. (Note: Remember, you only have 3 disguises. Use them wisely.)


 * Never disguise on the first night unless you have a good reason to. It's usually not worth it. It is recommended only use your ability when people start to suspect you.


 * When disguised as someone distinguishable than the rest of the Town, try to impersonate that player's mannerisms and vocabulary, as someone might notice something off.

Wills Info

 * Be careful who you try to impersonate. Disguising yourself as a known Town Unique Role will almost certainly get you publicly lynched, and some people will even include their names in their wills, making your disguise a failure.


 * Players often (but not always) put their own name into their wills, which will very often lead to you getting lynched the very next day (because the victim's name and will do not match up). If you manage to avoid getting lynched, try to disguise again ASAP before more players become aware of you.

Working with Janitor

 * You are very dangerous with a Janitor, due to his ability to clean the victim's Last Will and Role, preventing the Town from making a connection between the dead body and your new identity. However, the drawback to it is the fact that if you visit a Veteran who is on alert, each of you, Janitor and Mafia Killing get shot down, dealing a huge blow to the Mafia.


 * If you want to disguise and you have a Janitor on your side, make sure you and your Janitor partner target the same person. The game will then make it so the Janitor cleaned who you used to be, and you are free to enjoy your new body!

Dealing with Disguisers
(Note that the above strategies require critical thinking, and they rely on the Mafia making a "smart move" in disguising as confirmed townies.)
 * If you, as a townie, suspect the presence of a disguiser, use the below tips to help you identify the Disguiser:
 * "Confirmed Townies" - If someone is confirmed as a townie (spy/mayor/protector) or is revived, whisper them a passcode and/or your role. If you suspect them of being disguised, the next day, ask for your role/passcode to be whispered back to you. If they fail and you are trusted enough, you can get the disguiser lynched!
 * "Revealed Mayors" - If you suspect a revealed Mayor has been disguised, call them out. Most of the time, they and their mafia friends will all vote against you quickly, thinking themselves safe from suspicion. However, if said person is a disguiser, you can point out to the Town that their vote is no longer worth three votes like a real mayor's is. If your town is competent, this can be enough to get the Disguiser lynched. (If you are wrong and not trusted, you are dead.) If you point out who voted against you immediately after as well, this can get the entire Mafia under suspicion.
 * If you are a certain Town role, you can use the below strategies to catch and kill Disguisers.
 * You as the Jailor - Always give a person-unique password to everyone you jail (and release). If you suspect an ex-prisoner of turning Disguiser, re-jail them and ask them for their password. If they cannot tell you their code, or worse, they say someone else's code, execute them. If they end up being mafia, execute the other person whose password the Disguiser used, as the Mafia will have usually spread your codes around in order to avoid suspicion.
 * If this happens, see if you can collaborate with a Spy in order to catch this exchange at night.
 * You as the Spy: If two mafia (or more) visit the same target, but another ends up dead, the person visited has become a disguiser. This is by far the most concrete tip, as proving yourself a Spy is easy. However, due to Disguiser being a "weak" role, consider whether it is worth exposing yourself to kill a disguiser.
 * As you can hear the Mafia at night, use their conversation against them. If someone is being accused of being a disguiser, they will most likely panic or give some indicator at night. The mafia may give out false info, but most of the time, this can confirm a mafia's guilt.
 * Escort/Investigative Team - If you suspect someone of being a Disguiser, call them out, get a Town Investigative to check them out, and roleblock them. Although this requires trust among townies, this strategy prevents the disguiser from switching bodies overnight, and the Investigative role will be able to pinpoint them and get them lynched.
 * Especially note if someone is cleaned the next day. If your target is suspected enough by the other townies, the mafia usually tries to relocate them as fast as possible. This is not concrete, but it can serve as an indicator. Again, Spies can be a great help, as the mafia will most likely panic at night if you are right.
