Slayer
A high-stakes Townsfolk who can win the game instantly by publicly selecting and killing the Demon during the day. Even if the shot fails, it provides the town with confirmed information that the target is not the Demon.
Ability
Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the DemonThe evil player who kills at night. The good team wins if the Demon dies., they die.
Strategy Guide
Playing As
- It is generally better to use your ability early and miss than to die with your shot unused; a failed shot confirms that the target is not the Demon.
- Coordinate with information-gathering roles like the Fortune Teller, Investigator, or Washerwoman to narrow down suspects before shooting.
- If a Monk is in play, coordinate with them for protection so you can save your shot for the final days when you have a higher statistical chance of hitting the Demon.
- You can bluff as a high-priority target (like the Ravenkeeper) to draw a night kill, or bluff as a spent Slayer to lower your threat level.
- Pay attention to the Recluse; if you shoot them, they might register as the Demon and die, wasting your win condition but confirming their role.
Playing Against
- Kill the Slayer early at night to prevent them from using their ability, or use the Poisoner to make their shot fail regardless of the target.
- As a Minion, bluffing as the Slayer allows you to 'shoot' your Demon to 'prove' they are innocent, or 'shoot' a good player to frame them or build trust.
- If the Slayer shoots the Imp, the Scarlet Woman can immediately become the new Demon, so keep the Scarlet Woman alive as insurance.
- Bluffing as the Slayer is a strong backup lie for evil players caught in a different bluff, as you can claim you were hiding your identity to save your shot.
