Town of Salem 2 Fake Claim Tier List

[@bluenova123]

One thing to note is that Jester fake claiming as a TI will have 100% accurate information, and thus becoming confirmed and not lynched.

[@arielli9489]

Which you don't want to do.

[@HeruCSGO]

You can fake claim death under 2 circumstances: Either you want to draw attention away from your teammate who is death, or because you are jester.

[@DavidTheRealOnp]

Or d1 claim

[@XD-en9lh]

I mean i won a game by claiming death when i was actually death and the town started using their 3rd eye brain thought i was jest when i was actually death and they lynched some random ahh dude who didnt do a lot 😂

[@splitfeys4566]

i never thought i'd hear underground music especially 2hollis in a tos2 tier list

[@xmorphias6888]

one note i have is that investigator's percept is actually incredibly useful: you should always be percepting n1 as invest since you're likely not going to find anyone with blood, and if you go on the tplo call you might see any number of evil roles (arso, pb, hex, pm) who would typically go undetected. this makes claiming invest risky, since people will expect you to percept night 1 but you risk getting info wrong, like an arsonist or werewolf you didn't see noticing the inconsistency.

[@blatantslander]

Percept is indeed the way to prove yourself as good as Invest

[@iplayedbedwarsroblox9413]

apparantly ppl are still too oblivious to the percept of investigator,one game i percept 12 and no evil visit,12 was killed by coven and LO see 3 ppl visiting them(including me ofc) and i scream out that all ppl who visiting 12 last night is town and necro having book,but u know what?the town lynched all ppl who visited 12 and im the first person got hung bcuz i "didnt see any visit"

[@lotematu2812]

I actually prefer bg as a fake claim over cleric due to the number of people that fake cleric. It helps if it is a 1f1 between cleric and bg (me)

[@Zak-jt6nk]

true but i also feel BG claims get a bad rep from OG players because it was such an evil claim in TOS1 lol

[@ddd-op5wy]

Nice intro, and nice idea for a video. I just needed something like this. I've been permanently fake claiming Coroner and it might be limiting me a bit.

[@ddd-op5wy]

Not gonna lie you're kinda underrating it. The biggest benefit IMO is that you won't get attacked by any other evil if you're Coroner and even the town doesn't really care about you. It's also not that unlikely for the killer to always be the Conj since that's the role with the highest priority. But yeah I mainly claim it as Coven and it works out moderately well, and you can full confirm yourself to town if you hit an immune and guess them as a confirmed neutral killing.

[@ddd-op5wy]

You can also make your non-killing covs more trustworthy since you confirm they aren't killing. Obviously invest can do the same but in my experience it's one of the most common evil claims. Coroner just seems more trustworthy since it's more of a background character role.

[@ddd-op5wy]

You're really overrating Seer. You're basically relying on guessing correctly n1, and it's honestly not that likely.

[@tannernash1041]

So your the guy claiming coro every game

[@JBLGamingNL]

Why is bro talking to himself 💀

[@Sumiscloud]

Surv claim D1

[@owenduffy5745]

"GA here. Could be yours!"

[@nonyabuisness3560]

back when i played this game i realized that claiming lo or track is really bad as ww, so id instead claim invest because if you track cks scent it makes you look like town (and people expect ww to claim track) also, remember when fake claiming retri, higher numbers get priority so if you claim corpse missing as 2 then you are saying that 1 is 100% retri

[@asoreth]

bro that intro is insane

[@hox6287]

Re: Admirer fakeclaim What can work is that if an evil role dies day 2 you can claim in toxic with them. Evils tend to not write Admirers in their wills, it's not in their interest. Just fakeclaim sileced for a day then admit you're TS in toxic. (Just ensure you don't get seen visiting by a socialite...xD)

[@aniksegaming]

I wish more players would use this strat, especially since you can't propose again after being in a toxic relationship! Admirer can propose from N2, so this strat can work if an evil dies N2, D2 is a bit too early for them to die.

[@grubbygeorge2117]

Fake claiming admirer is how I once won as solo Enchanter in AA. Since I felt like I was screwed regardless, I sent it into the pros with the hope no TP were left. Enchanted them as pros and added "Grubby George proposed to me, I declined" in the will.

[@Em1ssary]

The intro goes so hard

[@sabarathore5174]

Town is the UNINFORMED major-3 people reveal

[@wingidon]

Ah yes, back when it was a game of "Kill everyone who doesn't have a confirm yourself button"...

[@Zak-jt6nk]

Admirer should be D tier cuz if u claim admirer and theres an nk they will usually target you for a double kill and out both you and your teammate. The only good thing i can think for a fake admirer claim is if you are jester or exe and you claim someone denied you. Fun jester tip claim coroner and DONT put a killer in your will they will demand to know who coven killing is respond with something like what do you mean its coven you can see it in the graveyard. They never see it coming.

[@aniksegaming]

Thank you so much for this video! New TOS2 players can really benefit from this one! You really explained whether a certain claim can work. I think Doom became a panic fake claim for NA at this point, so whenever an apoc pops out I sus Doom claims immediately :D Crusader is indeed an underrated fake claim.

[@raiden8929]

An important thing about exe is that it had defense. Ive had a game as ww where i was attack N1 by coven and knew they would try and push me as a fake claim, so i deleted my will and went exe.

[@cookie856]

... Can't be as good as claiming Tavern Keeper as Baker in a NON Tav/Pois game, getting confirmed (somehow) and then having no one believes you once hex master win coven game (then they watch the list after the game)

[@jedediahv]

You should also mention that while being unique TPOW roles are also capped at 3 per match unless using a modded list. Source: pipetrons comment section.

[@JBLGamingNL]

Nah, my last AA game had the mayor, the prosecutor, the monarch and the jailor. And 2 TPs and 2 TI’s. Town lost and SK won 💀

[@thatonefrenchguy937]

Sometimes, when I'm useless town, I say (day 1) : "sheriff n1 4(sus)" Then I put in my will that if I die, it's probably 4. I once hanged the coven leader because of this (even though I'm dead)

[@trandossian5640]

[@Pam234]

One of my favorite tos1 fake claims was claiming tracker as a consort. It had the benefit of being soft confirmed as well as allowing you to rb anyone to your hearts content (compared to claiming escort which doesn’t allow you to rb powerful roles) I’m not sure if it would work well with poisoner.

[@iplayedbedwarsroblox9413]

[@Pam234]

@@iplayedbedwarsroblox9413 this literally doesn’t matter. Retri and necro can’t visit n1 vet can’t visit. Cl and esc are the only other roles that could contradict this. But if you’re this much of a p*ssy why are you playing tos? No risk no win

[@YayapLives]

Haven't played town of Salem 2 yet, so I have a question. Does coroner have any provable information other than knowing who the killer was? Because, if not, It seems like as Mafia you should get the the killing role to false claim a different killing role in the death note the moment a coroner tries to give information. Seems like you might steal a free hang one out of every couple of games. Also if you do it often enough and make it a known play it also makes cornoner better claim down the line.

[@thethethe3788]

On days you choose a corpse to Autopsy to know who's the killer and it gets added into a killer list. Then, during nights you visit somebody to check whether they are or not any of the killers of the killer list

[@Kabo0m.]

How can you steal a confirmed claim without Enchanter? They will just claim that they're the real town and if they're hanged you will be hanged the following day. I don't feel like a good claim is simply a one day claim, usually they are supposed to keep you alive for longer so you can win, not to simply out yourself, just my take though.

hmmm coven can switch book around. so even as a real coroner coven could claim u are false and dw had book or jinx had book or anything of the sort. this logic does not apply anymore since coven can switch book around

[@Notpockets]

hypothetically sure they could lie and do that, but that's a very proactive play that realistically doesn't happen. coro isn't a high priority target for coven to put effort into getting mislynched like that unless they really are fake. necro passing does give fake coro claims more room to lie, but if you get that first autopsy wrong, you better believe coven is still gonna notice and you're gonna get pushed by an opportunistic coven who is looking to secure more good boy points for themselves

that said, still an acceptable fake claim. just miles easier to pull off as a coven

im too lazy to watch entire video, can someone tell why Pirate is F tier? its one of the best claims if you have team and won me a lot of games

[@Notpockets]

i guess i skipped over it in the video by accident, but pirate should be more like top of D tier, probably above jailor some of the buffs of claiming pirate are: TI have no reason to check you, it can make your teammates look like they're not a killing role, neutrals will likely leave you alone and potentially even expose themselves to you in a best case scenario cons: being counter-claimed by a real pirate, vigis wanna shoot you to prove themselves, being pressured by town to say "who'd you pirate" when there's no coven/bers/shroud kills, if your coven die you run out of ppl to claim pirated, if all your coven are alive you probably were gonna win regardless of what you claimed, if you die your entire coven team is pretty toast its an all or nothing claim that could potentially go horribly wrong, but it does get bonus points for being funny and uncommon

[@mnogo-tos]
