  +
*Unlike the {{Investigator}}, you can only directly determine whether your target is suspicious or not, and not just their possible roles. Sharing information and discussing with the {{Investigator}} will allow you to narrow the pool of suspects:
  +
** If the {{Investigator}} finds a possibly suspicious role (e.g. a {{Doctor}},{{Disguiser}}, or {{Serial Killer}}), you '''should''' interrogate that person to prove their guilt or innocence.
  +
** If the {{Investigator}} finds a certain {{Townie}} (by process of elimination), you will '''not''' need to interrogate that person, since they are confirmed and you would waste a night.
  +
** If the {{Investigator}} finds a full detection immune role list (e.g. a {{Bodyguard}}, {{Godfather}} or {{Arsonist}}), you will '''not''' need to interrogate that person either because, just like above they will all appear the same. (In the {{Coven}} expansion, it is {{Bodyguard}}, {{Godfather}}, {{Arsonist}} or {{Necromancer}})
  +
** If the {{Investigator}} finds a {{Framer}}, {{Vampire}} or {{Jester}} (with {{Hex Master}} in the Coven Expansion), you should put doubt on your interrogation results, since your target may have been framed or hexed. However, if they show up as "not suspicious", then they are either a {{Vampire}} or {{Jester}}, and a {{Jailor}} or {{Vigilante}} should kill them.
   
  +
*If you're lucky enough to find a member of the {{Mafia}}/{{Coven}} early in the game, you should almost always reveal it immediately. Some people are afraid to reveal it because they might be called an {{Executioner}}, and some people will mistakenly advise you to wait because of this; however, there are numerous reasons why revealing vital information at the first possible opportunity is virtually always the right strategy:
Tú, tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal <br />Me voy acercando y voy armando el plan <br />Solo con pensarlo se acelera el pulso (Oh yeah)
 
  +
** If you hide information, you risk being cleaned by a {{Janitor}}, forged by a {{Forger}}, stoned by a {{Medusa}}, or blackmailed forever by a {{Blackmailer}}, causing it to be lost forever.
  +
** Generally speaking, the {{Town}}'s majority decreases with every passing day. Therefore, it is going to be easier for the {{Mafia}} to convince people to ignore you on Day 4 than it would have on Day 2.
  +
** Even if you fail to convince the {{Town}} to lynch someone you found immediately, you can still gain information based on how people react - people who help you try to lynch a {{Mafia}} or {{Coven}} member are probably not members of the {{Mafia}} or {{Coven}}, while people who try to aggressively cast doubt on you or push suspicion elsewhere are themselves suspicious. This can be used to guide your investigations on later nights, gathering information that will help the {{Town}} trust you.
  +
***For example, if you find and call out {{Mafia}}/{{Coven}} D2 and some people say something along the lines of "Shut up exe", check them. They could be another evil trying to protect their ally.
  +
** You are unlikely to be attacked by the {{Mafia}} or {{Coven}} immediately after accusing one of their members, both because it would confirm your accusation and because you're likely to be protected.
  +
** Even if you fail to convince enough {{Town}} members to lynch someone, the information you revealed still helps them behave more intelligently; a {{Vigilante}} who takes a potshot, for instance, is more likely to shoot at someone you accused, while {{Escorts}} are more likely to [[role block]] them and {{Town Protectives}} are less likely to protect them.
  +
** Your accusations will not become more credible simply by waiting. {{Executioners}} accuse on Day 3 and Day 4, too. Being called an {{Executioner}} might hurt your feelings and your chances of being believed by everyone else, but in the long run the {{Town}} benefits by having that information out there as soon as possible. On top of this, if you're asked to produce your complete {{Last Will}} and reveal you've been sitting on important information for several nights, the {{Town}} is likely to treat you even more skeptically.
  +
** If you wait, there is a risk that the person you found could die to another cause. While that means they're gone, it's generally a wasted opportunity - it means you lost the chance to confirm yourself and to force their fellow {{Mafia}} or {{Coven}} members to risk going on the record failing to vote up their partner.
  +
** It is ''usually'' a good idea to reveal a {{Serial Killer}} or {{Werewolf}} as soon as you find them, but here the calculations are slightly different; they don't have allies to pressure with an accusation the way a {{Mafia}} accusation puts pressure on the {{Mafia}}, and it does slightly less to confirm you because a {{Consigliere}}, {{Potion Master}}, or anyone who hit the immunity of one of these roles could out them, too.
  +
** There may be people who can confirm aspects of your accusation; for instance, a {{Tracker}} or {{Lookout}} who saw you visit will know that you're not an {{Executioner}}. They won't know to back you up unless you speak up.
   
  +
* When you need to convince the {{Town}} that you're a {{Sheriff}} and not an {{Executioner}}, remember to report your visits every night - after your role has been revealed, there's no reason not to share all information immediately, and even naming people as not suspicious will earn you a bit more trust.
Ya, ya me está gustando más de lo normal <br />Todos mis sentidos van pidiendo más <br />Esto hay que tomarlo sin ningún apuro
 
  +
* If you suspect a player of being the {{Werewolf}}, remember to check them on a [[Full Moon]] night. Otherwise, they will appear as "not suspicious".
  +
* A little-used strategy is to coordinate with the {{Spy}}, as they can provide confirmed non-members of the {{Mafia}} by who the {{Mafia}} visits (as the {{Mafia}} cannot visit their own members unless transed or witched) and therefore, you might want to ignore interrogating these people since they could have [[Detection Immunity]]. One example is the {{Arsonist}}.
   
  +
*'''Careful''', multiple evil roles have [[Detection Immunity]], such as the {{Arsonist}}, and will appear as "not suspicious". Beware of whom you trust!
Despacito <br />Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito <br />Deja que te diga cosas al oído <br />Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
 
  +
** At any given time, there can only be one {{Godfather}}. Therefore, when a {{Godfather}} dies, anyone you investigated up until (and including) that night who came up not suspicious cannot be a member of the {{Mafia}}. Note that they could still be an {{Arsonist}}, {{Witch}}, or {{Vampire}}; and people you investigate ''after'' the {{Godfather}}'s death could be a {{Mafioso}} who has been promoted to {{Godfather}}. They could also be a {{Coven}} member with the [[Necronomicon]].
   
  +
*'''Careful''', [[Framer|framed]] players will appear to be a member of the {{Mafia}}, so never be too quick to judge who is evil or not. If you aren't sure, check the same person the next night (although this might not be worth it, it is usually better to gain new information that night instead of doing a re-check, unless there is a confirmed {{Framer}}). If the {{Framer}} does not frame the same target again, your results will change. There are some {{Framers}} that will frame the same target for a few nights in a row, so it's very hard to know if your information is true or not. However, in [[Ranked]], if the {{Random Mafia}} slot is dead or known to not be a {{Framer}}, it is safe to accuse anyone that shows up as a member of the {{Mafia}}. Keep in mind that it may be a good idea to ask a confirmed {{Spy}} who the {{Mafia}} visited, as they will usually be able to see who the {{Mafia}} might have [[Framer|framed]].
Despacito <br />Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito <br />Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto <br />Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito (sube, sube, sube)<br />(Sube, sube)
 
   
  +
*If a {{Witch}} controls you, you will be forced to check a '''different''' target without knowing who it is. Hopefully, the {{Witch}} will reveal their actions in their {{Last Will}}, so then you can find out who you were forced to interrogate the night you were controlled.
Quiero ver bailar tu pelo <br />Quiero ser tu ritmo <br />Que le enseñes a mi boca <br />Tus lugares favoritos (favoritos, favoritos baby)
 
  +
** In most of the cases, if you find a member of the {{Mafia}} or {{Serial Killer}} as a {{Witch}} is controlling you, it is ''not'' a good idea to reveal what you have found if you did not already publicly claim your role, as this will probably inform the {{Witch}} about who could be a possible ally for them, while {{Town}} remains ignorant about who you interrogated.
   
  +
*If a {{Transporter}} transports your target, you will interrogate someone else entirely without you knowing! If the {{Transporter}} reveals their {{Last Will}}, you will know who you interrogated that night! However, if you see that you were controlled or if your target says they were transported the next day, then don't trust the information that you have been given as it is most likely false.
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro <br />Hasta provocar tus gritos <br />Y que olvides tu apellido (Diridiri, dirididi Daddy)
 
  +
*Careful, many evil roles tend to claim to be a {{Sheriff}}, so if you are pressed to claim a role, you could get lynched regardless of what you say by an aggressive {{Town}}. Be sure to have a well-written {{Last Will}} to improve your odds, but it is no guarantee.
  +
*If you are certain the only roles left are [[Detection Immunity|Detection Immune]] roles, such as the {{Godfather}} and {{Arsonist}}, don't give up! If people trust you, you can direct the {{Town}}. It is safe to not visit anyone though (unless there's a {{Bodyguard}} or a {{Doctor}} protecting you) because you might run into a {{Veteran}} who's on alert (if there's any). Alternatively, you could try and bait them into attacking you so that they waste a night going for someone useless. Even if all of the above do not happen, you still count as a vote and possibly save the {{Town}} from being the minority.

{{Sheriff}} is very easy to claim, and as such is a suspicious claim unless confirmed. They may seem like an {{Executioner}} when outing your results, and many evils, such as the {{Werewolf}}, claim this role. It has a very easy will to set up, and you can usually tell when someone is most likely fake when they are asked for their role, they claim {{Sheriff}}, and then show a [[Last Will]] with only Not Suspicious results. Usually, if someone out loud says "4 is {{Mafia}}" or something of the sort in a blunt fashion with no evidence, and then a bunch of people start agreeing for no reason, they're all most likely evil. If someone hasn't found an evil by D5 they are probably evil. 
   
  +
Another way to identify fake results by a {{Sheriff}}, or any {{Town Investigative}} by any means is to look at their {{Last Will}}, and see if any results are unknown. If that {{Town Investigative}} role provided new information, it's usually a good chance that they are not evil. However, if their results are all dependent on things that the {{Town}} already knew, such as a revealed {{Mayor}} or if someone is on the stand and their Will consists entirely of dead people (who have had their roles revealed). Such useless information is usually a sign of an evil.

  • Unlike the Investigator, you can only directly determine whether your target is suspicious or not, and not just their possible roles. Sharing information and discussing with the Investigator will allow you to narrow the pool of suspects:
  • If you're lucky enough to find a member of the Mafia/Coven early in the game, you should almost always reveal it immediately. Some people are afraid to reveal it because they might be called an Executioner, and some people will mistakenly advise you to wait because of this; however, there are numerous reasons why revealing vital information at the first possible opportunity is virtually always the right strategy:

      • For example, if you find and call out Mafia/Coven D2 and some people say something along the lines of "Shut up exe", check them. They could be another evil trying to protect their ally.
    • You are unlikely to be attacked by the Mafia or Coven immediately after accusing one of their members, both because it would confirm your accusation and because you're likely to be protected.
    • Even if you fail to convince enough Town members to lynch someone, the information you revealed still helps them behave more intelligently; a Vigilante who takes a potshot, for instance, is more likely to shoot at someone you accused, while Escorts are more likely to role block them and Town Protectives are less likely to protect them.
    • Your accusations will not become more credible simply by waiting. Executioners accuse on Day 3 and Day 4, too. Being called an Executioner might hurt your feelings and your chances of being believed by everyone else, but in the long run the Town benefits by having that information out there as soon as possible. On top of this, if you're asked to produce your complete Last Will and reveal you've been sitting on important information for several nights, the Town is likely to treat you even more skeptically.
    • If you wait, there is a risk that the person you found could die to another cause. While that means they're gone, it's generally a wasted opportunity - it means you lost the chance to confirm yourself and to force their fellow Mafia or Coven members to risk going on the record failing to vote up their partner.
    • It is usually a good idea to reveal a Serial Killer or Werewolf as soon as you find them, but here the calculations are slightly different; they don't have allies to pressure with an accusation the way a Mafia accusation puts pressure on the Mafia, and it does slightly less to confirm you because a Consigliere, Potion Master, or anyone who hit the immunity of one of these roles could out them, too.
    • There may be people who can confirm aspects of your accusation; for instance, a Tracker or Lookout who saw you visit will know that you're not an Executioner. They won't know to back you up unless you speak up.
  • When you need to convince the Town that you're a Sheriff and not an Executioner, remember to report your visits every night - after your role has been revealed, there's no reason not to share all information immediately, and even naming people as not suspicious will earn you a bit more trust.
  • If you suspect a player of being the Werewolf, remember to check them on a Full Moon night. Otherwise, they will appear as "not suspicious".
  • A little-used strategy is to coordinate with the Spy, as they can provide confirmed non-members of the Mafia by who the Mafia visits (as the Mafia cannot visit their own members unless transed or witched) and therefore, you might want to ignore interrogating these people since they could have Detection Immunity. One example is the Arsonist.
  • Careful, multiple evil roles have Detection Immunity, such as the Arsonist, and will appear as "not suspicious". Beware of whom you trust!
    • At any given time, there can only be one Godfather. Therefore, when a Godfather dies, anyone you investigated up until (and including) that night who came up not suspicious cannot be a member of the Mafia. Note that they could still be an Arsonist, Witch, or Vampire; and people you investigate after the Godfather's death could be a Mafioso who has been promoted to Godfather. They could also be a Coven member with the Necronomicon.
  • Careful, framed players will appear to be a member of the Mafia, so never be too quick to judge who is evil or not. If you aren't sure, check the same person the next night (although this might not be worth it, it is usually better to gain new information that night instead of doing a re-check, unless there is a confirmed Framer). If the Framer does not frame the same target again, your results will change. There are some Framers that will frame the same target for a few nights in a row, so it's very hard to know if your information is true or not. However, in Ranked, if the Random Mafia slot is dead or known to not be a Framer, it is safe to accuse anyone that shows up as a member of the Mafia. Keep in mind that it may be a good idea to ask a confirmed Spy who the Mafia visited, as they will usually be able to see who the Mafia might have framed.
  • If a Witch controls you, you will be forced to check a different target without knowing who it is. Hopefully, the Witch will reveal their actions in their Last Will, so then you can find out who you were forced to interrogate the night you were controlled.
    • In most of the cases, if you find a member of the Mafia or Serial Killer as a Witch is controlling you, it is not a good idea to reveal what you have found if you did not already publicly claim your role, as this will probably inform the Witch about who could be a possible ally for them, while Town remains ignorant about who you interrogated.
  • If a Transporter transports your target, you will interrogate someone else entirely without you knowing! If the Transporter reveals their Last Will, you will know who you interrogated that night!

  • If you are certain the only roles left are Detection Immune roles, such as the Godfather and Arsonist, don't give up! If people trust you, you can direct the Town. It is safe to not visit anyone though (unless there's a Bodyguard or a Doctor protecting you) because you might run into a Veteran who's on alert (if there's any).
