Mechanics

• You can choose someone to protect each night, granting them a Powerful defense. You will deal a Basic attack to one random visitor to your target.

• The protected target will not receive a notification about being protected, unless they were attacked that night.
  • If they were attacked, they will receive a notification stating "You were attacked but someone protected you!”
  • If they were attacked, the Crusader will receive a notification stating “Your target was attacked last night!"

Strategy

• Always protect someone who asks for a Crusader on them, but not someone who asks for a Town Protective on them. You may accidentally kill a Town Protective role. Be wary that they may be a Medusa baiting people or some other evil role.
• Protecting a confirmed Townie without or very low chance of a Lookout is often a good idea as there is little reason for another player besides an evil one to visit the said Townie. However, if another Town Protective visits the confirmed Townie, you will kill them.
• Often, you should not protect early in game as there is a high chance of killing a fellow Townie. An exception would be if the majority of players are evil, such as in Coven Custom.
• If the late-game has begun and evils are nearing majority, protect every night. You need evils to be dead at this point and they have a high chance of visiting your target.
• In a VIP mode game, protect the VIP on all nights. Players are often conscious that the VIP will be protected and would rather not visit him. This way, you can prevent the VIP from dying. However, some Trappers prefer to set a trap on the VIP after the first night. Then, you can guard someone else, for example, a Psychic who revealed on Day 2.
• If there are two confirmed Crusaders in the game, make sure to never have you both protect the same target. You both have the possibility of killing each other!
• Watch out for people that might claim Crusader on Day 1 because they may be a Medusa trying to bait Town Protective roles.
