Tips for playing werewolf?

[lirust]

Having some trouble with this character - how do you win as werewolf?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Werewolf in my opinion is the weakest Neutral Killing.
Only way to win is:
-If town doesn't bother looking for you because, I.E: 2 arsonists are dousing people.
-You attack people that gets visited a lot, but not Protective roles.
-That's it...You can't win any other way. OH WAIT, I guess you can AFK the whole game, claim Survivor and at the end, maybe you have a chance on a full moon.

Attacking people who are suspicious is a very good idea, for the following reasons:

1. There is a low chance Docs/BodyGuards will be on them
2. Town Investigatives will usually check them out, letting you kill them as well
3. They might be an enemy that you have to kill to win.

Serial Killer can kill one non-night immune person per night. Werewolves can kill a few people any night, even night immune ones.

Serial Killer can't prevent Mafia from attacking him and finding he's immune. Werewolves can kill all visitors to their house every 2nd night.

Serial Killers run the risk of a Lookout finding them or Doctor healing their target. Werewolves will kill the Lookout/Doctor, and in the Lookout's case, the target still dies. Even the Jailor will die if the target was jailed.

Talking about Jailors, if a Serial Killer kills the Jailor when the Jailor jails him, there is little you can do to lie and get out of a lynching. Werewolves can claim a Werewolf attacked them, but they were in jail and immune.

Who's the weakest Neutral Killing now?

You know.. that actually doesn't work. The moment you decide to stay home and maf hits you that same night, the maf still knows you are the WW because you were the only one that survived the WW attack, nor died to mafia.

Okay, that is correct.

There are many tactics on the roles wiki page.

werewolf is underpowered because everybody wants to kill him. an arsonist can stay hidden and claim survivor/bodyguard a ww can claim exe but it wont really work, exes then gets lynched in fear of the werewolf, survivors get kept alive due to the fact that an arso can hide.

The thing I hate about WW is it's weak and you do not win with anyone ur a loner

Sometimes you have to with investigator though so....sometimes sheriff claim is best claim

once i was werewolf in a ranked practice game and i didn't attack at all to make it seem like the NK was an arsonist. i'm pretty sure i could've won if i didn't accidentally guilty the jester
edit: uhhh the last post on this before vviard's was in 2015

True. I guess I can clarify. Have more than 1 claim ready. Sheriff and something else. If there is no Invest then try not to claim sheriff. Pay attention to roles of people and stuff and try Invest if you wanna still do a TI claim.
