The Werewolf

Bad

Elite wolf with first-night investigation power, discovering exact roles to weaponize information strategically.

Role Investigation

Alpha Power

Role Investigation

You function as a standard Wolf for all nightly elimination attacks, participating in pack coordination and collective hunting decisions. However, you possess a unique additional power: on the first night only, you can choose any player and discover their exact role (not just their alignment). This one-time investigation reveals precise information like 'Seer', 'Doctor', 'Villager', or 'Wolf' rather than the simple Village/Wolf alignment that Seers receive. This powerful intelligence advantage can shape your entire strategy for the game.

Best Practices

Maximize First Night Investigation

Use your one-time role discovery power strategically on Night 1. Target players who seem most likely to have important village roles based on pre-game behavior or random selection from active participants.

Leverage Role Knowledge Strategically

If you discover a dangerous village role like Seer or Doctor, coordinate with your pack to eliminate them quickly. If you find a regular Villager, use that knowledge to appear more credible when making accusations.

Standard Wolf Coordination

Participate fully in pack elimination decisions each night. Your investigation advantage complements but doesn't replace your core wolf responsibilities to hunt villagers and maintain cover.

Information Timing and Sharing

Share your role discovery information with the pack strategically. Use the knowledge to guide elimination priorities and day phase voting without revealing how you obtained such specific information.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Wasting Investigation on Random Players

Don't use your first-night investigation randomly. Target players likely to have important roles or those whose role knowledge would provide maximum strategic advantage.

Revealing Impossible Knowledge

Don't reveal specific role information in ways that expose your investigation ability. Find natural ways to use the knowledge without revealing its source.

Neglecting Pack Responsibilities

Don't become so focused on your investigation advantage that you neglect coordination with other wolves and standard pack hunting duties.

Poor Information Management

Don't share your investigation results carelessly or at inappropriate times. Strategic information timing is crucial for pack success.
