Strategy Guide

Playing As

Your primary job is to identify one player you are 100% certain is good; if you die and choose them, they are mechanically confirmed as good for the rest of the town.
In a Vortox game, your ability is one of the few sources of reliable information; if the game does not end after your choice, that player is definitely good.
Avoid selecting players involved in 'double claims' or the Evil Twin pair, as the statistical odds of hitting an evil player are significantly higher.
Be cautious about revealing your role early in a script with a Fang Gu, as you are a prime target for the Demon to attack and swap with.
If you are unsure who to pick, look for players whose information seems to solve the game or who have been mechanically confirmed by other reliable abilities.

Playing Against

As an evil player, prioritize building strong trust with the Klutz so they choose you upon their death, instantly winning the game for your team.
Bluff as the Klutz (especially as a Minion in a Vigormortis game) to 'confirm' your Demon or another Minion as good when you die.
If you are the Demon, consider leaving a known Klutz alive if they seem likely to pick a good player, as their death would only confirm a good player for the town.
Be aware that in a Fang Gu game, a Klutz bluff might attract the Demon to attack you, thinking you are a jump target.

Interactions

Fang Gu

As an Outsider, the Klutz is a target for the Fang Gu to jump to; this is a major threat to keep in mind when revealing your character.

Vortox

The Klutz's confirmation of a good player is immune to the Vortox's falsification, making it incredibly valuable in these games.

Pit-Hag

An evil Pit-Hag can transform a player into the Klutz late in the game to force a high-stakes 50/50 choice.

Evil Twin

The Klutz must strictly avoid the Good/Evil Twin pair, as picking the Evil Twin results in an immediate loss.

Vigormortis

Minions killed by the Vigormortis often bluff as the Klutz to effectively 'clear' an evil teammate.
