New Player Advice

• The Arcanist can be very strong when views are chained, i.e. 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.
