Flagger/Strategy

*Note that strategies are local and vary from player to player. These are just suggestions*.

## About

The Flagger is a village team role. It is one of the advanced roles of Beast Hunter.

## Role Description

After the first night you can choose one player to be protected (including yourself) and another player to be attacked instead,you can redirect twice this way. After a successful redirection you will not be able to redirect another attack the following night.

## Win Condition

The **Flagger** wins with the village, unless if they are converted into other teams by other roles

## Strategy

• Your goal is to guess who will be attacked by evil and who is the evil to redirect the attack to them You should protect yourself on night 2-3 and choose to protect other players from night 4-5 because now the villagers have a lot of information and it will be easy to identify the evil.

• You can try identifying yourself as **Flagger** on the first day to werewolves and solo killers noticing and they won't kill you so you can freely protect others. Experienced players will realize this and will kill you the next night if you don't really protect yourself that night,You should alternate between protecting yourself and protecting other players to optimize **Flagger's** effectiveness

• After successfully redirecting an attack you will not be able to redirect another attack the following night. So you will easily fall prey to werewolves or solo killers if you have revealed your role before, you should ask (Jailer or Warden) to jail you for one night or ask other protectors to protect you but they probably won't do what you ask. However, this will make werewolves and solo killers think that you are protected and they will not kill you, of course there will still be risks.

• If you are RRV (Random Regular Villager) you definitely should try identifying yourself as (Beast Hunter, Trapper,...) Because these are all roles with an Unknown aura. If you accept roles like (Doctor, Bodyguard,...) then when Aura Seer checks you, you will suspected of having an Unknown aura instead of Good. Of course, you can still accept these roles if there are investigation roles other than Aura Seer in the game such as (Detective, Spirit Seer,...)

• Werewolves and Solo Killers can attack you in the hope that you don't protect yourself or mistakenly redirect to another villager. That's why you should be careful in claiming roles, such that werewolves and solo killers won't notice you and kill you early. Your abilities work the best at the end of the game, as certain factions must have already been eliminated or thinned out, so don't let yourself die early.

## Cases and Roles You Should Protect

• When starting the game, villagers have very little information. You should prioritize protecting investigation roles. If there are too many investigation roles, you should protect yourself or protect those who have proven to be good

• If the village is in a situation where you don't know who to lynch because the fool is still alive, you should protect roles like (Violinist,Spirit Seer) because these roles can easily identify the fool.

• Besides you, other roles also need protected. You can choose to protect roles such as (Doctor, Witch,..) because these roles cannot protect themselves, they will protect others on your behalf.Protect the Beast Hunter or Trapper when they have just set a trap or are revived as these are quite annoying roles so werewolves and solo killers will try to kill them early when they haven't active trap yet.

• The killer roles are also very important protect them when the villager need a killer role and the main killer roles are dead(Example:Protect Marksman when killer roles such as Gunner, Jailer,... are dead)

• Jailer and Warden are roles that can both kill and protect roles that are inactive at night protect them if they have claimed the role or have no other killer roles

• At the end of the game when the killer roles are dead, you should prioritize protecting the roles that give you a vote advantage such as: (Mayor, Judge,...) Or you can also choose to protect yourself

• Protect the Avenger once they have claim the role the same role as the **Flagger** Werewolf and the Solo Killer can choose to kill them to hopefully not pull anyone or pull another villager this role will come into play at the end of the game, so don't let them die too early.

• Werewolves or Solo Killers will sometimes fake your role so identify yourself as **Flagger** right away before the villagers stop trusting you.If you have previously identified yourself as a Trapper or Beast Hunter,...you can also identify yourself as a **Flagger** once you have been proven to be Good.

• When you have redirected an attack from a werewolf to a solo killer you first need to determine if they are villagers or not as there will be several roles such as:(Ghost Lady, Bodyguard) can protect itself before identifying yourself as **Flagger** and redirected attack on them because if you claim **Flagger** too early and no one is protecting you, you will probably get killed.

• When villagers ask you to protect someone, protect them if they are killed by a solo killer or werewolf you will definitely be suspected.

• If you are part of the couple/Instigator team. You should prioritize protecting yourself and your lover/other instigator member. At the same time, you also need to protect Cupid/Instigator to give your team an advantage if the lover is a werewolf or solo killer. You don't need to identify yourself as **Flagger**, let your lover/other Instigator member/Instigator claim your role if they are in danger.

• If you are part of the sect team, always protect the Sect Leader even if you may be killed because if they die you will die. Also let them claim your role.

## A Few Tips

• On the first night or after successful redirection, you can fake off (exit the game and re-enter immediately afterwards) This will keep the werewolves and solo killers from noticing you so you can redirect on the next night

• The interesting thing here is that in addition to choosing a player to be attacked in place of the protected person, the **Flagger** can also choose themselves to be attacked instead.You can try this when you only have one redirect left that is unlikely to attack the evil(It is recommended not to do this because it can cause the misunderstanding that another **Flagger** redirects you and sometimes it looks very weird.)

• You will not be able to redirect the attacks of:(Zombie,Sect Leader[Conversion], Arsonist,Bomber, Alchemist's Red Potion,Siren,Bandit[Conversion] So be careful when confronting these solo killers and it's best to eliminate them as soon as possible

• Similar to other protectors, you will still die from Werewolf Berserker's Frenzy ability.
