Guide to Trapper Role
Role Information
The Trapper is a diligent sentinel under the Town Protective alignment, devoid of any attack or defense immunities. With the primary ability to lay a Trap, the Trapper can fortify another player’s house with a Powerful Defense against one attack. Once the Trap is set, it stays unless it is triggered by a visit or you build a new trap elsewhere. Upon the Trap’s activation, the Trapper gains knowledge of the roles of the visitors. However, keep in mind that a Trap can only protect against a single attack and the Trapper can maintain only one Trap at a time. Just like every loyal townsfolk, the Trapper’s goal is to bring every criminal and evildoer to justice.
Strategy Guide for Playing as Trapper
Understanding the Trapper Role
As a Trapper, your foremost responsibility is to protect the town by placing Traps at players’ houses, which provide Powerful Defense against one attack. Once you lay a Trap, it remains until it either neutralizes a harmful visit or you dismantle it. If the Trap is triggered, you will know the roles of all visitors to the targeted house.
Choosing Your Trap Placement
Determining where to set your Trap should not be a random decision. Analyze the behaviors, role claims, and voting patterns of players during the day to guide your decision. You should also consider any information provided by other town roles.
Recognizing Your Limitations
While your Trap is a potent tool, it is not invincible. It can only protect against one attack. If multiple players attempt to attack your target, the Trap will neutralize only one attacker, leaving your target vulnerable to any remaining attacks.
Communicating with the Town
Communication is crucial in Town of Salem. Be sure to share significant information with the town, such as when a Trap is triggered. However, be cautious about revealing too much about your own role to avoid becoming a target yourself.
Protecting Yourself
As a crucial protective role, you are likely to become a target for evil roles. Consider placing a Trap at your own house if you feel threatened.
