S tier (if you get these roles than you are VERY well off): Godfather(duh), Blackmailer (can delay important information by at least one day), consiglere (the all knowing role, like seriously any time i play consig i end up figuring out who the last 6 are, granted that includes my self), and janitor(prevents info from getting out from a dead role ever, and prevents them from being revived)

'''Blackmailer is an incredibly versatile role, but it isn't a "game-changer" by any means, its ability to delay important information forces it to make a choice between revealing itself or not. As such, I wouldn't give it an S Tier position. As for Consig, the problem with Consig is it doesn't actually disrupt the Town. Two Consigs are great for finding info for the mafia, but it does nothing to cause deception within the Town. Consig is, as such, reliant on a role that can apply its information effectively, such as Janitor, to be useful. This would make it A Tier or lower by default. Janitor is a great role, but does have a few checks. It is one of the few roles that gives Medium a purpose. It does hurt the Town significantly, but a smart Town is vocal, and a vocal Town will generally be more likely to reveal information that can apply clues to what roles they are.'''

A tier (nice to have, but not the best): consort(ive been saved i jail by this role so many times i just have to count it) and hypnotist (they can do a decent job at fooling town for a while, and can force the doctors to make a 50/50 choice where they picked either the real poisoned guy or the hypnotized one)

'''Hypnotist relies heavily from information from others. I would put it in B Tier simply due to the fact that it is so reliant on information about various Townies. '''

C tier (no one from this point deserves B, and also is meh. potentially nice): Disguiser(it rarely fools them but when it does, IT DOES HARD) and ambusher(god and jesus please let not more than one person visit this person)

D tier (if this is actually helpful then you need to turn in your lottery tickets): framer (Hex master: anything You can do I can do better, I can do anything  better than you)

'''Framer is F Tier. '''

F tier (anything besides these would have been ten times as helpful): mafioso (a worse godfather, and if godfather exists is a wasted slot) and forger (Janitor: I can do anything better than you)

'''Forger being outclassed does NOT necessarily make it useless. Janitor is much, much, better than Forger, but Forger is not necessarily bad simply because it's worse than Janitor. Now, granted, I do believe that Forger is pretty awful due to its lack of utility, but I would not consider it worse than Framer. '''

'''Mafioso offers a kind of backup in case the Godfather cannot kill, which, really, is its only purpose. However, this purpose is quite powerful in many situations. If the Mafioso did not exist, Town of Salem would be as simple as simply killing the Godfather, as none of the Mafia can kill either than GF, Mafioso, and Ambusher (and Ambusher is unreliable at best). Mafioso also serves as a backup incase the Godfather is jailed/rbed, which allows the kill to be carried out. As such, Mafioso does have a large role to play in the Mafia. '''
