HOUNDMASTER

The Houndmaster can sniff out where evil might reside upon their own death.

Playing as the Houndmaster

As would be the case with any "demon-bane" roles, consider claiming strong information roles to bait a kill at night. Unlike a Clockmaker that must track a Demon to its nearest Minion, the Houndmaster gets to select where the ping originates, and additionally, the Houndmaster may receive a zero, indicating that they've sniped an evil directly - which is great information to have. Other than that, you'll need to play the waiting game, and consider finding a role swap if possible!

Bluffing as the Houndmaster

The Houndmaster is a fantastic bluff for a Minion killed by a Vigormortis, or a Demon that can "jump" like the Imp, Fang Gu or Hypnox. Steering town towards a false ping is a great way to waste time, and kill off powerful roles by implicating them as evil. Be cautious about confirmation roles, and enjoy watching the good team eat themselves up in light of your death.
