Template:Story Coven Leader
Mechanics
- The Coven Leader selects two people per night. The first target is controlled and uses their night ability on the second target. You will also see the role of the player you control.
- Like the Witch, the Coven Leader only visits their first target, not their second.
- You will see anything that happens to the person you control (for instance, if they are intercepted by a Bodyguard, Ambusher, or Crusader; you will also be told the role that intercepted them).
- The Coven Leader is immune to role blocks, like the Witch.
- With the Necronomicon, you deal a Basic Attack to your first target only.
- Hence you can be killed by a Bodyguard, and if you trigger a trap placed by a Trapper, you will die.
- If you do not have the Necronomicon, you cannot be killed by a Bodyguard, and if you trigger a trap, you will not die.
- If the Coven Leader with the Necronomicon controls a Bodyguard to protect themselves, the Bodyguard and Coven Leader will kill each other.
- If an Amnesiac remembers the role of Coven Leader, they will not automatically gain the Necronomicon if another Coven member possesses it.
- The Coven Leader is very similar to a Godfather, except you control people's actions, and only with the Necronomicon will you deal a Basic Attack and gain Basic Defense. Therefore, some Godfather strategies may work well with this role.
Controlling a target - Effects on different roles
If Visit is yes, then a Lookout can see the Coven Leader's first target visit the second target, even if the visit does nothing.
If Veteran is yes, then the first target can be controlled and can be attacked by visiting a Veteran who is on alert or Medusa who is gazing as the second target.
If Werewolf is yes, then the first target can be controlled and can be attacked by a Werewolf who is the second target during a Full Moon night.

1 Note: The Godfather will not be detected by a Lookout or forced to visit a Veteran or Werewolf, but his Mafioso can be, assuming the Mafioso is not role blocked. If the Mafioso is role blocked, the Godfather can be detected by a Lookout and die to a Veteran or Werewolf.
2 Note: If the Godfather is not role blocked, the Mafioso will not visit the Coven Leader's second target. If the Godfather is role blocked, the Coven Leader will be able to control the Mafioso. The Mafioso can be detected by a Lookout and die to a Veteran or Werewolf.
3 Note: If the youngest Vampire is controlled, the youngest Vampire can be detected by a Lookout and die to the Werewolf. If any of the other alive Vampires are controlled, none of the Vampires will be detected by the Lookout or die to a Veteran or Werewolf.
4 Note: The Werewolf will stay home and attack himself, but he will not die. He will see that he has attacked at least two people which would be the Coven Leader and the Werewolf himself.
Strategy
- Claim to be an Investigator to the Town and look up possible results as you know the true role of your first target. Be careful as smart townies may be able to piece together the fact that they were controlled when you investigated them.
- Controlling a Doctor and make them heal other Coven members or yourself could benefit your team. That isn't to say your Necronomicon could kill the Doctor or a Medusa may accidentally use their stone gaze to kill him.
- You may control a target to visit Medusa. Not only you will learn the victim's role, but stone the target on purpose. Controlling a confirmed visiting role will be nice. This tactic is more effective against the Town Protective and Town Investigative roles. Their Last Wills will be useless and they prevent the Retributionist to revive the victims. It is also much better if the role isn't revealed yet to the Town, in order to have more claim space for other roles. Be careful if you control Vigilantes as it would be harmful to Coven.
- A Coven Leader works the same way as the Witch, so think like you are the Witch from Classic when it comes to writing wills, making claims, etc. However, keep in mind that unlike the Witch, you kill those who you control when taking the Necronomicon and you house permanent Basic Defense. You are also allied with teammates, therefore you should be wary about what judgment to make, no longer being alone.
- Unlike the Witch, you generally want to control enemy killers whenever you find them in order to keep them from killing other Coven.
- If you find a Doctor before you get the Necronomicon, use him to protect a fellow Coven member if you think they are going to die.
Trivia
- The Coven Leader is the only Coven role to have Basic Defense, similar to the Godfather.
- The Coven Leader is the only guaranteed Coven role other than the Medusa in Ranked.
- The Coven Leader is the only Coven role that does not have an entirely new ability.
- The Coven Leader shares controlling players with a Witch, and draining others of their life force is a new ability.
- There was a bug where the Coven Leader was unable to control a Vigilante to shoot someone on Night 1.
