Mechanics

  • On non-Full Moon nights, you will get three names, at least one of which is evil. On Full Moon nights, you will get two names, at least one of which is good.
    • Therefore, the Full Moon results don't allow you to find evils, but it helps to confirm a Townie.
    • For clarification, "good" refers to Town and Neutral Benign, while "evil" refers to anyone else.
  • If you are jailed or role blocked, you will not receive a vision.
  • If you are controlled, you will still receive a vision. Depending on where you are taken, you may be killed by a Werewolf or simply killed by the Coven Leader due to them having the Necronomicon.

Strategy

  • Reveal early on and ask for a Crusader on you. Often a Crusader will do as asked if they are smart, and you can easily start helping the town rat out suspicious people.
  • Generally, the Psychic relies on the whole Town to be useful. Having fellow Town Investigative roles can help the Psychic even further by gaining information about the roles that are potentially evil.
  • Writing confirmed Townies in your Last Will may seem like a good idea, but remember that when your Last Will is revealed, it potentially makes them a target for killers.
  • Calling someone out as evil early on is generally not a good idea. One, you could end up guessing wrong and getting an innocent Townie lynched. Two, people could think you are an Executioner and ignore you. Three, a Psychic is a high-priority target for the Mafia so you will likely be dead within a few nights.
    • However, if it is Night 3, a person has appeared twice, and one or two other people on those two visions have died, it is likely they are evil. Call them out, or whisper it to a confirmed Townie.
    • If there is a Medusa, the town will often not believe a late Psychic claim, so you may want to claim day 1 or 2, especially if there are other Psychic claims.
  • Narrow down your pool of suspects. Two of the given potential evil roles may be good, and their death may confirm their innocence.
  • If you receive an evil vision and find one of the players to be evil, the remaining two players are still more likely than average to be evil. This is because the player that was found to be evil could have been evil by coincidence, and was not the player referred to as the evil one out of the three. The same thing applies with good visions.
    • When receiving a vision on the first night, there is a 27% chance of only one of the players being evil, a 54% chance of two of the players being evil, and a 19% chance of all of them being evil.
  • If the town has no information that confirms a player as an evil role, consider voting those that appear on the odd night vision. You are not compelled to lynch them, but forcing them to claim is a very effective strategy.  
  • A Jester will appear as evil in your vision. This means that you should be warier when deciding which people in your odd night vision should be hanged.

Playing against Psychics

  • Since a Psychic claim is easy to fake, claiming Lookout or Tracker and saying that the Psychic visited them is a potential way to get rid of a trustworthy Town member.
  • Disguisers can make players look like false Psychics by having three people die in the Psychic's evil visions appear as all good roles.


Trivia

  • If you are the among the last 3 players in a game alive on an odd night, you will receive a message saying "The Town is too small to accurately find an evildoer!"
  • If no other Townies or Neutral Benigns are alive, you will receive a message, "The town is too evil to find anyone good!" on a Full Moon night.
