The Ultimate Impostor Guide: Deception and Victory

Design Your Opening Script

A strong impostor round begins before the first task. Decide on an opening script that dictates where you stand, which crewmates you shadow, and how you respond to early meetings. Three reliable scripts include:

• Shadow Protocol: Follow a confident crewmate, mimic their tasks, and build trust for future manipulations.
• Utility Specialist: Sprint toward common sabotages (lights, oxygen) and “fix” them in front of witnesses to frame yourself as helpful.
• Quiet Analyst: Keep distance, monitor traffic, and strike when you notice isolated targets.

Timing Your Eliminations

The swap timer should guide every elimination. Avoid impulsive attacks right after a swap because crewmates still remember where you were. Instead, eliminate targets during the mid-cycle when memories have faded and tasks pull players apart.

If the lobby uses visual tasks, sabotage them first. For example, trigger a reactor meltdown, wait for the crowd to disperse, and then strike. Use vents only when you have a clear escape route and a teammate to vouch for your location.

Double-Kill Coordination

Communicate with your fellow impostor before each meeting, even if it means sacrificing a bit of stealth. Use Roblox voice chat or an external call to agree on double-kill targets and exit routes. Always confirm who will report the body—sometimes you want to self-report to control the narrative.

Sabotage Combos That Win Games

Pair sabotages with the swap mechanic to generate confusion.

• Lights + Swap: Turn off lights ten seconds before a swap. During the darkness, strike and vent. When identities change, blame the player whose avatar you acquired.
• Doors + Reactor: Lock high-traffic hallways to isolate players, then trigger a reactor meltdown to split the crew. Your partner can secure a quiet elimination on the opposite side.
• Oxygen + Self-Report: Fake a heroic fix, eliminate someone en route, and self-report with a dramatic story. Crewmates often reward “heroes” with trust.

Control the Discussion

Meetings determine the outcome of most impostor rounds. Prepare persuasive lines in advance:

1. Swap Confusion: “Remember, we swapped 20 seconds ago. The person you saw might not be who you think.”
2. Task Detail Flex: Memorize two or three long tasks and describe them vividly to reinforce your credibility.
3. Redirect: Ask targeted questions to players who hesitate. “Blue, who escorted you to MedBay after the lights sabotage?”

Never overplay your hand. If the lobby is leaning toward skipping, encourage it. If accusations build, volunteer to pair with a trusted crewmate and then engineer a swap-based alibi.

Recovery Plans When Exposed

Every impostor eventually makes a mistake. Prepare recovery tactics:

• Counter-Accusation: Claim the witness self-reported to frame you. Provide a plausible timeline and challenge their memory of pre-swap positions.
• Delay Vote: Suggest finishing tasks instead of voting, especially if the crew is near completion. Use the additional time to find a partner and set up a double kill.
• Heroic Sacrifice: If you are caught beyond saving, confess while falsely naming your partner. The chaos may allow them to survive the next meeting.

Maintain a Learning Journal

Track each impostor round in a simple journal: what worked, what failed, and who noticed your patterns. Review your notes weekly to remove predictable habits and design new deception scripts.
