The Maid

## **Class Summary**

```
 Converted **Class:** The Handmaiden/The Seeker

```

**The Maid** is an Investigative class that belongs to the Blue Dragon faction with the objective to defeat the Unseen or Cult, and any neutrals that seek to do them harm.

**The Maid** is powerful because it can find if two players win together. If two players claim to be with the Blue Dragon faction, you can use **Matchmake** on them and see if they are truthful or not.

## **Investigative Abilities**

Scorned is incompatible with everyone. Royals are incompatible with each other.
* Doesn't count as visiting

## **Mechanics**

* The Maid starts off with one random player assigned to them at the start of the game. They then choose to Matchmake that random person with someone else.
* If the Maid chooses to Matchmake a confirmed Alchemist, Mercenary, Scorned, or Fool, they will have wasted 2 nights of investigative abilities - since The Alchemist, Mercenary, and Fool (while not framing) are compatible with everyone else in the game, and the Scorned is incompatible with everyone else.
* If a target is framed, the maid's results will generally be reversed of the correct result. However if an evil is framed, they will still appear as they would normally to a Maid.

## **Maid Matchmake Interactions Cheat Sheet**

Here is a general list of Maid interactions when using Matchmake. (Courtesy of Romana)

Matchmake results are generally the classes who can win with each other, aside from Royal Blood classes and a few exceptions. ("Evil" here refers to Unseen/Cult.)

 Royal Blood + Royal Blood
 Inquisitor + Heretic
 Mastermind's In The Shadows considers them as BD until N4.

 BD + Evil
 BD + Alchemist / Mercenary / Inquisitor / Non-Framing Fool
 Alchemist + Anyone
 Mercenary + Anyone
 Evil + Evil
 Evil + Alchemist / Mercenary / Inquisitor / Sellsword
 NK + Alchemist / Mercenary / Inquisitor / Sellsword (All neutrals)
 NK + BD / Evil

These are investigation altering abilities, empower ignores them:

* Framed + BD = Incompatible
* Framed + Evil/Alch/Merc/Inquis/SS = Compatible

Mindwarped maid has her result flipped, incompatible partners become compatible and vice/versa.

## **Strategy**

* Most players tend to use their **Matchmake** ability only and not **Nosy Servants**. This is because Nosy Servants is considered as a generally weaker ability and is usually less helpful in finding evils.

* The Maid, much like the Sheriff is very hard to confirm, and easy to fake. Because of it you will have to be active in court, and get accurate information.

* Unlike the Sheriff. You can catch classes such as the Scorned/Sellsword/Inquisitor/Neutral Killer.
* Remember that royal classes are incompatible with each other. If two players claim Royal classes, its very likely that they are both telling the truth.
* If you choose to **Matchmake** the Alchemist. Be careful, as you waste 2 nights of investigation if they are telling the truth. But if they are acting suspiciously it may be worth it. As you can catch them with a lie, or discover the Scorned if they are the Alchemist
* Keep track of who is compatible with who! If someone is compatible with someone who turns out to be an Unseen/Cult member, and they are not the Mercenary/Alchemist/Inquisitor/Fool it is very likely they are a member of that team!
