Before you venture on, allow me to introduce you to some basic information regarding the game:

Town of Salem, also known as ToS, is an online multiplayer RPG. The game revolves around murder, deception, lying, and mob hysteria. It tests players’ ability to lie convincingly and to detect who else is lying. Games range from 7 to 15 players, who are randomly divided into different alignments (roles).
AA = All Any
alert/ALT = referring to Veteran's Alert ability
atk = attack
cc = counter claim (Note: If a person asks you for CC, that means they are trying to figure out what your role is.)
dc/dc'd = disconnected (referring to a player or you who disconnected)
GAHS = good at hiding secrets
LyLo = lynch or lose (meaning if the Town does not lynch an evil role that day, they will lose)
maj = majority
mv = mafia visited
ns = not suspicious
nv = no visits
rb'd/rb/rbed = roleblocked (happens due to escorts or consorts)
self'd = refers to a Doctor self healing
sus/susp = suspicious
ToS = Town of Salem
tp'd/trans'd = transported (happens when a transporter transports you with someone else)

When you first create an account and click "Play," you might feel confused by the number of available modes. For beginners, the recommended mode is "Classic," which is listed under "Normal." This guide will not go into detail about every game mode, but I suggest trying all of them at least once once you feel comfortable.

Now, let’s dive into all the roles and classes!

♱⁺.⊹꒷꒦ ꒷꒦⊹.⁺♱ Ambusher ♱⁺.⊹꒷꒦ ꒷꒦⊹.⁺♱

Ambusher's role is Mafia Killing.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

• As Ambusher, your ability is to lie and wait outside your targets' house. Ambusher has a Basic attack but no defense. You can only choose one Town member to 'ambush' per night. If a non-mafia player visits your target that night, you will attack them. But, ALL visitors will know your name and that you are an Ambusher.

• Attributes Of Being Ambusher: You will attack one player who visits your target.

• Your goal in the game as Ambusher: Kill anyone that will not submit to the Mafia.

  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
  Here are two fake 'Last Will' examples to use as Ambusher:

  ↶(First Example)↷

  vet (abbreviation for Veteran)

  n1: did not alert
  n2: did not alert
  n3: on alert

  ↶(Second Example)↷

  vigilante.

  n1: reloading...
  n2: unsure of who to shoot yet
  n3: shooting [] (or you can lie and say you shot the number/name of a person that an actual vigilante shot)
  

♡⋅☁️˚₊‧ Amnesiac ‧₊˚☁️⋅♡

Amnesiac's role is Neutral Benign.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

• As Amnesiac, your ability is to be able to remember who you are by selecting a graveyard role. {Note: You can only remember once. Choose your role carefully.}

• Attributes Of Being Amnesiac (a pro/con): When you choose a role it will be revealed to all players in the game.

• Your goal in the game as Amnesiac: Remember who you are and complete that class & role's goal.

  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
  Here are two 'Last Will' examples to use as Amnesiac:

  ↶(First Example)↷

  amne (abbreviation for Amnesiac)

  n1: i can't remember..
  n2: still no clue..
  n3: remembered [input the person's number/name from the graveyard list for the role you would like to remember]

  ↶(Second Example)↷

  big mac the amnesiac

  n1: i can't remember yet
  n2: no good roles yet
  n3: remembered 3 (lookout)

𓆩♱𓆪 Arsonist 𓆩♱𓆪

Arsonist's role is Neutral Killing.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

• As Arsonist, your ability is to douse players in gasoline each night. You can douse one target per night. If you are visited at night, you will automatically douse the visitor/visitors. When ready to ignite, all you have to do is select yourself. This will deal an unstoppable attack to each doused player.

• Attributes Of Being Arsonist: Aside from dousing visitors and being able to select yourself to ignite any doused players, if you take no action, you will attempt to clean gasoline off of yourself.

• Your goal in the game as Arsonist: Live to see everyone burn.

  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
  Here are two fake 'Last Will' examples to use as Arsonist:

  ↶(First Example)↷

  surv (abbreviation for Survivor)
  {Note: If you are going to use this example and claim to be Survivor make sure to 'claim it' as soon as the game starts and chat is available. On d1 [day 1] type "surv d1 claim."}

  n1: vested
  n2: vested
  n3: did not vest

  just want the achievement for the surv win ):

  ↶(Second Example)↷

  doc (abbreviation for Doctor)
  {Note: This claim is extremely risky BUT the trick here is to attempt to get away with being 'AFK' from Night 1 - Day 3. When it is Night 3, start dousing players. Try not to post your will until Day 3, unless someone is pushing you and questioning why you are quiet.}

  n1: afk
  n2: afk
  n3: healing []

⋆⋆☆⋆⋆⋆⋆☆⋆⋆ Blackmailer ⋆⋆☆⋆⋆⋆⋆☆⋆⋆

Blackmailer's role is Mafia Support.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

• As Blackmailer, your ability is to choose one player each night to blackmail.

• Attributes Of Being Blackmailer: Blackmailed targets cannot talk during the day. Blackmailers can also hear private messages. If there are no kill capable roles left, you will be promoted to Mafioso.

• Your goal in the game as Blackmailer: Kill anyone that will not submit to the Mafia.

  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
  Here are two fake 'Last Will' examples to use as Blackmailer:

  ↶(First Example)↷

  boba the spy !

  n1: bugged 2 - mv 4 + 12
  n2: did not bug anyone
  n3: bugging 9 - no mv

  ↶(Second Example)↷

  spy

  n1: [input name or number here] > MV [input name or number here] (mv = mafia visit.)
  n2: [] > MV []
  n3: [] > no visits

  ♱⁺. ⋆˙✧⋆꒷꒦꒷⋆✧˙⋆⊹.♱♱⁺. ⋆˙✧⋆꒷꒦꒷⋆✧˙⋆⊹.♱♱⁺. ⋆˙✧⋆꒷꒦꒷⋆✧˙⋆⊹.♱♱⁺. ⋆˙✧⋆꒷꒦꒷⋆✧˙⋆⊹.♱♱⁺. ⋆˙✧⋆꒷꒦
  So, obviously this seems tricky (and no doubt, will be) due to the fact your class is Blackmailer and you actually know who your fellow Mafia members are visiting. But, you do NOT want to out them. So, I always suggest playing along with the first example and maybe even pretend you are 'afk' on Day 1 --> Day 2. Nonetheless, practice makes perfect.

˚｡ ೀ⋆ ༘˚ Bodyguard ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡˚

Bodyguard's role is Town Protective.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  {Note: If an Investigator checks a Vampire, the result can be Framer, Vampire, or Jester. Your best hope is that luck is on your side—either the Investigator dies quickly, or you aren’t investigated. Avoid playing as a "lazy" or "desperate" Jester if you’re following the first fake last will. Some Town members might think it’s your first time as Jester and lynch you to “give you the win.” Instead, set up your will as a Spy and stick to it. Vampire is tough, especially on your first game. Stay quiet in chat to avoid drawing attention or suspicion.}

⊰══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════⊱

First up, here’s my take on the hardest classes to play. For beginners in ToS Classic (Normal, All Any, etc.), the trickiest roles are Vampires, Arsonist, Witch, Disguiser, Spy, and—believe it or not—Godfather. For ToS: Coven, the hardest are Potion Master, Necromancer, and Coven Leader. I’ll dive into each one in detail soon, explaining why they’re so challenging and how to tackle them.

As you may or may not know, depending on whether you’re a veteran or a beginner, playing as a Vampire puts you among the undead whose goal is to convert others at night. If you start with two Vampires, only the youngest one bites and converts other players. If you’re the only Vampire, then of course you’re responsible for all the biting yourself.

You might be wondering why I’m starting with Vampire and why I believe it’s one of the trickiest roles to play. Here’s why: when an Investigator investigates you or a fellow Vampire, the results come back as Framer, Vampire, or Jester. Basically, it’s a lose-lose situation, which can be extremely frustrating—especially if it’s your first game and you land Vampire by chance.

The Jester class wins by getting themselves lynched. If you’re pretending to be a Jester and happen to get kind townies, they might lynch you to give you the “free win.” Framer, on the other hand, is part of the Mafia. This mix makes faking your role tricky, which is why Vampire is so challenging.

So, how do you win as a Vampire? On night one, do not bite anyone. Only consider converting someone if you genuinely feel you’ll be killed that night. A decent random pick is player 7 or 10 (my random go-to's). If you successfully survive night one without biting, congrats—this sets you up for the harder part: survival.

From there, your focus should be staying under the radar. Avoid drawing attention to yourself in chat, speak minimally, and don’t troll if your goal is to win or achieve achievements. Starting night one, aim to bite confirmed townies who were forced to reveal their roles due to vote-for-role situations. This helps you build a voting majority and strengthen your position.

Now, what should you fake your will as, given the investigation results are all risky? This is extremely risky, but if you’re forced to make a claim by day two—or feel confident on day one—claim Vampire Hunter. The Town will know Vampires exist, but you might get lucky if some townies are new, trolling, or just overlook your claim in the chaos of town accusations.

This is where the fake last will gets interesting. On night one, you can write “no vampires whispered,” because, if you didn’t know, the Vampire Hunter role hears all Vampires who speak in chat—but only at night.

By night two, you have some options. You can riskily quote one of your teammates, or, if you’re like me and love faking a solid Medium last will as an unlucky Janitor, you can fake some typing. Put in quotation marks something a confirmed townie—or even an outed Arsonist, Witch, or Mafia—would type. Copy their style, grammar quirks, or even typos, because authenticity matters. Another option is to use something like “Vampires said …” to keep your cover.

The key is to keep your chat activity minimal while focusing on biting confirmed townies. This builds a strong backbone, a voting majority, and strengthens your position without drawing attention.

Here’s one of my favorite tips: if you ever need to twist your words, get outed, or feel like you’ll die to the true Vampire Hunter (or any other evil role), delete your last will and save yourself.

Personally, I never save my last will permanently unless I’m joking around with friends. Instead, I always copy and paste it—on a Mac, that’s Cmd + C—so I have a backup if needed. No matter what device you’re on, copy your last will or note the specific night that passed, then paste it into chat if necessary. Once you’re killed at night, you can open your last will and quickly delete it if you were faking a role or just don’t want anyone to see your mistakes.

This trick keeps your cover safe, gives you flexibility, and adds a little fun control over your game even when things get chaotic.
