The Arcanist compares two players at night to discover whether their alignment is the same or different. They cannot include themselves in their comparisons.
New Player Advice
- The Arcanist can be very strong when your ability is chained, - e.g. comparing Player A and Player B one night, then Player B & Player C the following night.
- Your checks are often most useful in conjunction with other information, such as a claim of a power role or claimed intel from someone else. If Player's A & B both claim a power role and are appearing as Different then unless their role claim is expected to be different, it's an indication one of them is lying.
- As with all role claims, knowing when to claim and when to wait is a skill that takes time to learn. If you have information you think is valuable to the village then sometimes coming out with that information is more important than your life - but if you wait then you might live longer to get even more useful information. Alternatively you might die before giving any of it.
Useful Notes
- The Arcanist will be seen making two visits if they are checked by a role such as a Stalker.
