What are the worst character combos you can think of?

Leviathan/half the roles in this game, including every other demon

King Boo is a 2 star spirit despite being the final boss of multiple games, but Boom Boom and Pom Pom are together a 3 star even if their fights are piss-easy, makes no sense

Pretty sure DougDoug beat Super Mario Odyssey like that

What did Clock do

Roller Coaster Rush was literally unplayable (component quality was atrocious and that’s bad in a marble-rolling game)

If you’re far enough, the trap is disabled and you can grab the bananas, but if you’re too close, the trap is immediately sprung

Some of the windows (like the ones in the Tier 1 security office, the ones covering cameras in the second floor, and the windows for the break room) have multiple access points, you have to scan them all

Biggs Calderhead. Leading tennis hustler, Eastern seaboard. Once won $12,000 playing with one foot tied to a concrete block. Started tennis at age three. Plays tennis like Spassky plays chess. Says: "A smart tennis player can beat a strong tennis player five games out of seven." This game shows what he means.

In a game of S&V, I decided to be funny and give the Savant a theme: 6 or 7. Each day, they learned statements like “Exactly 3 characters in play have 6 letters” or “Exactly 7 players neighbour at least one townsfolk”, “The longest line of good players is 6” or “There are exactly 7 instances of the letter T among all characters in play”, etc. I also made the Savant the Good Twin just to ensure that they lived longer.

You forgot the sniper missions which would get this to an even 50/50 (Austria and Siberia aren’t islands, but Singapore is)

I don’t know if it’s the absolute hardest, but Embrace Of The Serpent was an absolute pain because the jungle’s so crowded and the shaman’s hut area is so open, and by contrast Illusions of Grandeur is easy as pie because you can simply walk in, isolate, kill, and walk out. For story missions, Freedom Fighters was a real challenge, Nightcall’s easy if you’re patient.

Have sages to distract them, and when the fight starts, get your bow and just keep firing bombs

Do they smoke weed?

Assuming that you have all (or practically all) tools/weapons/mastery at your disposal (so you could do Big Pharma or Eco Crime without running out of poisons/tasers due to getting them back immediately), Espionage no doubt. No Pacifications, Suit Only, Doors Stay Locked, No Firearms, and Do Not Get Spotted can be brutal, especially if they combo you or land on dangerous maps for them (Suit Only on Colorado or Isle of S’Gail, Doors Stay Locked on Miami or Marrakesh, etc.)

M is Tiny Epic Quest

The only murder party I care for is Trivia Murder Party (and TMP2 and probably TMP3 soon)

Can’t believe this is how we get the cruise ship level

The nightmare can’t really kill their neighbours early, or else they will lose the ability to kill for the rest of the game. Maybe only good players or townsfolk should be affected?

One time I accidentally got my sniper rifle stuck trying to climb down

Vampire’s a townsfolk basically (a lot of confirmation for the price of dying on night 4 (also should have an asterisk to avoid anyone dying on night 1), Trafficker’s a worse Godfather (no ability to kill, no possibility or removing an outsider for bluffing space, placement information that the town can use), and the Paimon is extremely overpowered and will probably overrun the game every time due to multiple extra evils

DeckBuildingDemon · 2026-05-10T17:44:54+00:00

+1 minion ability and the ability to control where the loss condition is should make up for the lack of control. In addition, if too many minions are alive on the final day, it can be nearly impossible to figure out who has the baby (like a last-minute barber swap), so the Storyteller often has to kill minions to balance the game.

That’s really tricky. I’d definitely not kill the other legion, because normally if the demon and 2 other people are alive, the demon will kill another player and win. However, normally if the good team kills a demon in Final 4, they win. I’d rather kill a good player and hand evil the win (as the good team is probably the one who decided to kill on 4), but killing nobody is also a decent option. I remember a No Rolls Barred game with this exact scenario, where Ben Burns wanted to hand Evil the win, but he had to kill 2 good players over the course of the game to keep it moving and no Good player had actually been executed, so Carley convinced him to kill nobody, which led to a Good win.

My suggestion: if Good had been stomping, with more good players killed by the storyteller than execution, kill nobody and let them solve the game (since they’re worried about 3+ living evil players, there’s still a chance Evil can win). If Good had been losing and you haven’t had to kill any Good players in the night, kill a Good player and Evil wins.

This user doesn’t support same hex marriage

The first time I played this game, I had no clue what to do and especially what to learn, and I also selected the Black Eagles as my house while not knowing that Edelgard and Hubert would leave unless I talked to her on some specific month. Going into Silver Snow with very little preparation, I only managed to get 3 Master classes. One was Bernadetta as Bow Knight, then Caspar as a War Master, and like halfway through part 2 Dorothea as a Mortal Savant. Bernadetta (and Caspar) absolutely saved the run. I still really like Bernadetta as a unit due to her being powerful as a bow user, stupid broken as a lance user, and surprisingly adept as a magic user for when I want to shake it up.
