Strategy Guide

Playing As

  • The active strategy involves nominating and executing your neighbors; if they survive, they are likely good, creating a chain of confirmed players.
  • The passive strategy involves keeping your identity secret to protect good neighbors from Demon attacks at night.
  • Be wary of drunkenness (e.g., Sailor, Innkeeper, Pukka, Minstrel), as it immediately disables your protection.
  • If a neighbor dies, your range extends to a new neighbor, allowing you to test a new player's alignment.
  • Coordinate with neighbors to bluff roles (like Fool) to confuse the Demon while you test their invincibility.

Playing Against

  • If you are the Demon and a neighbor of the Tea Lady, prioritize killing them at night or use a Minion (like Devil's Advocate) to survive execution.
  • Bluffing as the Tea Lady is a powerful strategy for Evil, allowing you to direct executions and explain away no-death nights.
  • The Assassin can kill a player protected by the Tea Lady, which is an excellent way to frame the Tea Lady as lying or drunk.
  • Use the Devil's Advocate to save an evil player being executed next to a Tea Lady claimant, falsely 'confirming' them as good.

Interactions

Devil's Advocate

Can protect a player from execution, simulating the Tea Lady's ability and generating false positives for the Good team.

Pacifist

Can save a good player from execution, which might be mistaken for Tea Lady protection.

Assassin

The only character that can kill a player protected by the Tea Lady, breaking the hard confirmation.

Minstrel

If a Minion dies, the Minstrel makes the town drunk, turning off the Tea Lady's protection and potentially causing a 'safe' neighbor to die.

Gambler

A Gambler neighbor who is good cannot die from their own ability if they gamble incorrectly, allowing them to test claims safely.
