If you say "Spy is useless now" then you can as well say "I am a total noob" because it means the same. Spy is still a powerful role, but (in contrast to other TI roles) you have to f***ing think and analyze results you get to find villains. Most of people is too stupid to do this and they cry "OMG i cant read mafia chat lol spy useless now how can i obtain any info". Ehhhh...

- First of all, the very basic rule. Visited by Mafia = almost certainly not mafia. So basically every Mafia visit is at the cost of confirming the target as non-Mafia. If there's a noob Framer or Disguiser then the pool of suspects can shrink very quickly. Your job is to focus on the people who were not visited and advice the Town to check them.

- You do not visit unlike other TIs so your ass is save from the Veteran, Werewolf or suspicion of Lookouts.

- You can quickly confirm or disprove people stating they were attacked. You are able of outing immune targets, especially when Mafia doesn't want to out them cause they are their allies (Witch/Exe/Surv). On the other hand, if the last Mafia killing is jailed then you can quickly disprove their claims "attacked in jail".

- All Framers are basically useless as long as you are alive.

- You can easily bust Consort claiming Escort or Consig claiming Invest if the people who they visited in their will match with the ones visited by Mafia.

- You know if somebody is truly blackmailed or only faking it.

- If people are visited, killed the next night and are Townies then there's high chance they were invested by Consig first and then targeted. If somebody is invested and not killed then they are propably a role not opposing the Mafia (e.g. a Jester).

- If someone is visited every night by Mafia and suddently he is not then there's very high chance the visitor was roleblocked or jailed and you can quickly ask Escort and the Jailor to out them.

- When a Disguiser is killed then you can obtain somebody's exact role basing on who they disguised as.

- You know if a Consig's or Consort's will is likely to be real or fake (for example when they found a neutral killing) basing on Mafia visits.

- When somebody else claims Spy then you can't confirm they are truly a Spy (as Mafia members can easily fake it) but if their visits in their will doesn't match yours in any detail then you can confirm they are not because every Spy gets exactly the same results. This is not true for Sheriff or Invest as their results may be altered by full moon, Framers, Arsos, Transporters, Witches if they check on different nights.

- You will know who is the Veteran when a Mafia member is killed by them.

- When someone is protected by a Bodyguard or even a Doctor then you will know who it is.
