No Dashii

Demon•Sects & Violets

The No Dashii is a Demon that passively poisons their nearest Townsfolk neighbors, skipping over Minions and Outsiders. They must carefully manage their kills to prevent the good team from using the pattern of false information to triangulate their location.

Strategy Guide

Playing As

Identify your Townsfolk neighbors immediately and listen to their information; since it is false, support it to spread misinformation.
Consider killing your poisoned neighbors early to remove the evidence of your location and prevent them from realizing their information is unreliable.
Encourage Minions to bluff as Outsiders sitting next to you; this explains why poison might seem to 'skip' a player without revealing you are the Demon.
If the town suspects a No Dashii, push a Vortox narrative (claiming all info is false) or a Vigormortis narrative (claiming dead neighbors were Minions) to confuse the poison trail.

Playing Against

Analyze clusters of false information to triangulate the Demon's location; if two players near each other have bad info, the Demon is likely between them.
Remember that the No Dashii's poison skips Outsiders, Minions, and Travelers, so the Demon might be seated several seats away from the poisoned player.
Utilize the Mathematician to confirm if abnormal amounts of poisoning are occurring, or the Oracle to track dead Minions which helps calculate skipping logic.
Be skeptical if a player with 'wrong' information dies at night; the Demon may have killed their own neighbor to hide the evidence of poisoning.

Interactions

Pit-Hag

Can create Outsiders next to the No Dashii to shift the poison onto new targets or swap the Demon to a new player to move the poison entirely.

Barber

If the Barber dies, character swaps can drastically shift who is poisoned, confusing the good team's efforts to track the source.

Sweetheart

Killing the Sweetheart provides a convenient cover story for why neighbors are drunk or poisoned, masking the No Dashii's presence.

Mathematician

A high number from the Mathematician confirms the No Dashii's presence, making them a high-priority kill target.
