(Didn't read most of these so some points may be repeated)

Team Coven

Alrighty. Well let's see. Mafia is better at staying hidden but can only get 2 kills at most in one night (1 in Classic). Coven isn't that good at staying hidden but has more kill potential. Hypotheticaly, Coven could wipe out half of the town on night 1 with an alerted Medusa. How can somebody claim you're evil if they're already dead. (Yes. I know Medium exists)

The Coven has 2 roles with more then basic attack. Medusa and Hex Master. Mafia only has Basic attack at most.

Coven Leader

The Coven Leader can be used in a variety of ways. Let me list some

-Controlling people into Medusa

-Controlling Vigilante into shooting a town member. 2 birds with one stone.

-Learning someone's role

-Actually just killing them

-Using said person's role to the Coven's advantage. Controlling a TP into a coven member, Forcing a killing role to kill someone of your choosing, Roleblock people, Etc. And if you're lucky, Make a Jailor execute their target

After N2, They get the Necronomicon for sure, and can kill every night from then on.

Potion Master

This role is also quite versatile. Know that your fellow Coven member is going to get attacked? Chuck a healing potion at them. Wish to know someone's role? Hand them a reveal potion. Need to silence a loud townie? Make them chug a bottle of that sweet kill potion. Once they get the Necro, They cooldowns are no longer so you can heal/kill/reveal every night.

Medusa

When a Mommy Janitor and Daddy Veteran love each other very much, This role pops out.

The Medusa can kill every role (besides Pest) that visits them (While on alert), and can kill alot of people in a single night. The Medusa usually alerts n1 and n2 to help the CL but can Alert when they know they're going to have a couple of visitors, both killing them AND cleaning them.

With the Necronomicon this role can now visit people, Killing them and stoning them. Although they only have basic attack if they visit someone the More dead bodies, the better.

People usually don't find the Medusa very quickly (unless there's a medium) since if you visit them while they're on alert, You die and have everything erased.

Hex Master

This role is an improved Framer and more.

This role frames people. But not just for one night, no. They stay framed PERMANENTLY.

Not only that but once every non coven (or atleast every town) is hex'd, They all get dealt an unstoppable attack, Wiping them all out. Let's say It's n7. 9 people are dead 3 people are hex'd. That leaves 3 people unhex'd. On n8 Coven kills one and HM hex's the other. Boom. Everybody but the Coven Member and HM are dead.

Poisoner

The Poisoner is a delayed killer. But that's a good thing. The poisoned target gets alerted that they're poisoned. If there's a doctor, The posioned target will normally ask for a Doctor to heal them. This distracts the doctor and let's Coven get someone killed who could have been healed by the Doc. This role also screws over Revealed Mayors once they're poisoned.

In conclusion, Coven has more kill potential and can screw town up more then Mafia.
