Sniper

A talented yet forgetful sharpshooter who seeks to kill off the Mafia.

## Ability

* Once per game, the Sniper can snipe a player at night which will kill them unless they are a vested Bulletproof or are saved by the Doctor.
* The Sniper will receive a private message in the library if they shoot the Traveler's van while the Traveler was away.
* The Sniper is not able to snipe a player during night 1, but is able to to snipe night 2,3,4 and so on...
* The Sniper is not a visiting role, meaning that they will not die to a Granny or be seen by the Creeper.
* If the Sniper is toasted on the same night they were attempting to snipe, the Sniper will be role blocked, but will not lose their bullet.
* A revived Sniper will get a bullet even if they previously sniped another player or had their bullet robbed by the Robber.

## Tactics

* As the Sniper, your bullet can be the difference between a win or a loss for the village. If you are unsure of who to snipe, save your bullet and wait for more information so you have a better shot.

* On the night you plan to snipe, you should almost always claim your snipe last second, so that the Village can confirm you. A simple "Sniping [PlayerName]" can be enough to confirm you as the Sniper.
	+ Another strategy that you can do is claiming your snipe a few seconds after the day starts. You can quickly look at the library and see if you got toasted, and go back to the chat and claim your snipe if you aren't toasted. This way you don't expose your role as the Sniper if you got toasted. Keep in mind that players with a fast enough reaction might claim your snipe.
* A Sniper is a powerful role to revive since they can kill a player. This often forces the Toaster to toast you if the Toaster is alive which might be able to save a toasted Doctor from getting retoasted. If the Mafia are close to winning, getting revived is a very good move since your bullet can save the game.
* If the Toaster or Robber is dead, you can claim your shot early. This gives your target to make a defense and claim a role. You can watch to see if another player cc's them and based on the information gathered, you can then choose to question someone else or to snipe one of the 2 claims.
* Sniping the Kamikaze is extremely useful, especially after a 50/50. This way the Village won't have to worry about accidentally voting them off since the Kamikaze can make a game a 50/50 if they get voted out. For example: the Village is 4-3 in votes, meaning that they have 1 more player than the Mafia. If the Kamikaze is executed and blows up another player, then the game will become 3-2 at night. This allows the Mafia to kill a player and the votes will become 2-2 in the day.
	+ Note that any snipe that kills a Mafia is good regardless if they are the Kamikaze, a killing Mafia role, or if they are a member of the Mafia that does not have a killing ability. Just know that some snipes are better in certain situations when the game is near a 50/50.
* If a member of the Mafia claims Sniper and you have a bullet, know that they are either important and want the Village to leave them or that they are trying to find out who the Sniper is. You have 2 choices in this situation. Either you can reveal yourself as the Sniper and try to get them executed. The Village will now know one of you is a Mafia and may just let you settle this standoff at night, depending on whether you are confirmed or not. Your other option is to not reveal yourself, and snipe the other claim at night. This allows you to snipe them without revealing your role to the Mafia and not be role blocked or robbed. This is sometimes riskier since no one cc'd their snipe claim and the Village might try to protect them.
