Board Thread:Role Ideas (Neutral)/@comment-37174991-20181206115640/@comment-28112409-20181206122516

This role is very weak, and there's no point implementing it when Arsonist is a thing.

The Unstoppable attack means nothing in all honesty, all it does is overpower Doctor. Something Arsonist can already do.

The Powerful defense doesn't mean much. It defends you from a Werewolf maul compared to Arsonist but that's about it, and it's not like you'd ever encounter another NK in Ranked to begin with. Town would eventually end up lynching you anyway so the extra defense on this NK is pretty much useless, and lynching also happens to be a main reason for Arsonist's death. Whaddaya know?

This role's killing is honestly pathetic. It takes you a night to build a bomb, a night to place it, and it triggers the night after. It takes you 3 nights to kill your first person and then 2 nights for every person after that. Mines are not that better honestly, they also take 3 nights to kill at least 1 person and then 2 nights for every possible visitor after that. Y'know, WW used to have his full moon nights on night 2, 5, 8, 11 and so on. They buffed it to be every even night, you can guess why.

The astral visits mean nothing, because the KPN (Kills Per Night) for the role is so damn slow, you're basically giving the investigatives, the mafia and the rest of the town a field day to kill you. How can you win anything with this role? Astral visits protect you from BG, Lookout and Veteran but that's about it. There's still many other ways and roles that can annihilate the Demolitionist.

The Arsonist does this job way better because it adds a person to the guaranteed death pile every night, and can kill all of them simultaneously in one night while also having a nice property with the douses that changes invest results, allowing the role to make a play and toy around with whatever claims it finds fit.

The role is far too weak to compete with anything, and is pretty much a sign that you have no chance of winning your game. It's a boring waste of time.
