Title: How do people approach when to use one-shot roles?
Post by: Glooble on August 01, 2019, 12:19:53 pm

So in Doomsday Mafia I was a 1-shot watcher and I agonized a lot over when to use my shot and ended up wasting it anyway. Meanwhile in the main thread people were discussing roles and a lot of people seemed to think all the one-shots would have already used their shots, which seemed really counter-intuitive to me. I'm wondering if there's an agreed-upon conventional wisdom for this? Like, I see the logic of using a shot early, especially if you have reason to think you're a potential night kill target. But later in the game it's a lot easier to make your shot count- to successfully protect a player with a protective role or to catch scum with an investigative role- because you have fewer players to choose from and more information.

Just saw this. It depends on the power. 1-shot vigs should not shoot night 1. 1-shot investigative roles should shoot N1 if they have a strong suspect, but should wait if not. 1-shot doctors should never use their shot N1 except maybe if there's like a claimed cop or an IC or something.
