Powerful/Basic, Detection Immunity, RB Immunity, Control Immunity

...Okay

Choose someone to plunder during the day. They are roleblocked that night (they don't know it's a pirate duel, just thinks regular rb)

...Except RB's don't occur until the end of the night, so either they get RB'd like normal or they get "jail" RB'd like the normal Pirate.

That night, pick a weapon based on what role you think they are:

Scimitar: TI, MD

That just seems like a random pairing to me

Rapier: TP, NK

That's better...

Pistol: TK, MK, NE

Invest: He's Vig/Vet/Maf bois!

(Pirate ecstacy)

Hook: TS, MS

MD probably deserves to be here more tbh

'''Wait a sec, wheres Coven? NC? Vamps for classic?'''

If you guess correctly, you deal a Powerful attack to them.

If not, welp whatever.

mhm

After two correct guesses you get Powerful defense.

After another two, you get Unstoppable attack.

O.o​​​​​​​

Escort Invest results. I guess that's fine...

tell me if it's good ehe

Well It's not bad? It's just really really weird.

A) Juggarnaught. Someone had to say it.

B) This kinda hardcounters Veterans, since it can find them rather easily and defend themselves from them if they alert (after a kill or two of course)

C) Notice how no NK (or ANY killer) in the game has Powerful attacks N1. The reason for that is so people with defence can feel safe N1 (Excluding the Ambusher, Veteran, Bodyguard and Crusader, all of whom rely on people visiting the right target)

So why can the normal Pirate do it, selecting a target no less?

It's NC! The entire point of NC is to shake up the status quo!

D) This rather takes out the fun "RNG" element of the NC version, turning it into a killer who has to guess its target's faction. That just doesn't seem that fun to play... Not being able to win with other factions hurts it too.

E) This counters TI of all things. Who do you think is going to get attacked by Pirate first?
