Strategy
The bodyguard serves as a protective role in Town of Salem. Unlike most other roles, the bodyguard can break night immunity when someone attacks the person you guard at night. With this in mind, a bodyguard can be critical in taking down a serial killer, godfather or arsonist.

Many times, the bodyguard will die early-game, usually taking down a mafia member or serial killer with it. To use the bodyguard most effectively, you should wait a turn to see who else plays a key good role, and guard them. Most likely, a mafia member or serial killer will try to attack that member during the night. While you will die in the process, you will eliminate a key mafia member or serial killer from play.
