IMO Werewolf is harder. Serial Killer has a lot of problems but he is able to kill every night and therefore reduce his opposition faster and more strategically, depending on the situation. For example when an Arsonist doused someone but this person is later killed by other means then he wasted a night.

Getting jailed and lynched as a result is just bad luck - like a Witch visiting an alerted Vet N1, a Jester/Survivor killed N1 etc. There IS some randomness and you cannot prevent everything.

You can however do your best to discourage Jailors from jailing you - if you act like a helpful Townie or claim a role publicly early then the Jailor is less likely to jail you since they usually do it to get your role.

You can always try to convince the Town that the Jailor was just targeted from the outside, not by his jailee. In several games I managed to avoid lynching even when I was jailed N1 and outed in the last will, for example once I claimed Investigator and the Town believed me cause it is unusual claim for Serial Killers.

Sometimes the fact you automatically attack role blockers may help you - if you attack a Jailor/Escort/Consort/Pirate while they visited someone else then the person they visited will fall under suspicion and they are likely to be lynched instead of you. If the Jailor didn't write your name then you are safe and you also got rid of the risk of being executed by him.
