(This is purely of the J 3 N rolelist)

Hey all welcome to me ranking every single role in J 3 N Mafia as of October! There's been a lot of buffs and nerfs (thank the lord for the Jailor one) and a bunch of new roles so I'm gonna be ranking them... Each role is ranked on how good I think they are to get a win so here we go:

First heres the factions for the color codes for all y'all:

TOWN 

WEREWIZIANS 

COVEN 

MAFIA 

NEUTRAL KILLING 

NEUTRAL EVIL 

NEUTRAL 

NEUTRAL VAMPIRES

.

Bad Roles:

65-

Officer (0/10)

This role is the worst in the game and no one would even notice if Jen removed it overnight or smth. Its just worse compared to Vigilante and Fighter, its honestly so funny to me that Stella said it needed to be nerfed cause this IS the worst role in my opinion. 

64- 

Confused Sherlock (0/10)

This role has shown up like twice and its just rubbish compared to others, you don’t get much info and there’s not much risk to any evil faction with it in the game.

63-

Tank (0/10)
Clown and Tank need to file domestic abuse charges and restraining orders for how they have been treated lately by town leaders.

62-

(Unique) Town Sheriff (0/10)

This is just a really bad jailor to the point that Jailor’s nerf was already apart of the town sheriff role lol doesn’t need to exist when jailor does and honestly wouldn’t mind seeing it removed.

61-

Clown (1/10)

This poor poor role has been getting MAD abused lately as Fossil said so I am so happy he got a win with that cause this role was so painful, you get close to being lynched but then have something come up IRL? Yeah that’s a loss for you. Town also completely forget neutral management too.

60-

(Unique) Vampire Hunter (1/10)

This is just a worse vigi if there’s no Vampire in the game. Sorry but its basically useless if your not playing vampires and even then its mid at best.

59-

Roleblocker (Town) (2/10)

All fun and games but really sucks you can’t role block half the evils lol

58-

Friend (2/10)

Nothing to do at night at all, so easy to die and not survive in 28 player games.

57-

Recharger (2/10)

So useless I forgot about it lol. This was the last role I wrote a description review for by the way and I don’t like it.

56-

Watcher (2/10)

Its pretty bad compared to every other town investigative and is very underused.

55-

Hypnotist (Mafia) (3/10)

Eh I don’t really like hypnotist its pretty obvious when a hypno charge is used.

54-

Hypnotist (Werewizian) (3/10)

Eh I don’t really like hypnotist its pretty obvious when a hypno charge is used. Little better for Werewizians but not by much.

53-

Cleaner (3/10)

Cool on paper but like, not in game.

52-

Fighter (3/10)

Just a worse vigi, better than officer. Its kinda in a weird spot to rank.

51-

Twisted (3/10)

Yeah Idk much bout this role but Kurt fake claimed it once… yeah that’s it its pretty bad I think but would need to see more of it.

50-

Berserker (3/10)

Just really bad tbh its commonly agreed as the worst Neutral Killing role.

Mid Roles:

49-

Ambusher (4/10)

Has ups and downs and the downs slightly outway the ups.

48-

Judge (4.5/10)

Worse detective.

47-

Assassin (4.5/10)

Really mid not seeing a huge usage of it and would much rather getting any other neutral killing except Berserker cause all NKs are very good.

46-

(Unique) Secret Mayor (5/10)

Just a slightly worse mayor to be completely honest though the idea is very interesting.

45-

Potion Master (5/10)

Eh. Very Eh.

44-

Poisoner (5/10)

I think a lot of coven is mid and poisoner is one of them.

43-

Soul Taker (5/10)

Honestly and this might be a massive hot take but I really think this is worse than medusa and they basically do the same thing its really unnecessary.

42-

Night Stalker (5/10)

Without necro this role sucks. But Necro is good.

41-

Transporter (5/10)

Meh role if I’ve ever seen a meh role. Needs to be used right to be great but otherwise it doesn’t have much of a downside.

40-

Lookout (5/10)

Worse tracker IMO I know on paper it sounds better but in games Tracker always seems good, not saying lookout is bad its definitely solid but its far from as good as tracker.

39-

Nurse (6/10)

A worse Medic, ain’t got nothing to say but it’s not really special or helpful.

38-

(Unique) Mayor (6/10)

Its mayor. Its slightly worse than good its very close though.

Good Roles:

37-

Detective (6.5/10)

Basic and boring Town Investigative. 

36-

Executioner (7/10) 

Fun role especially when town does good neutral management.

35-

Serial Killer (7/10)

Pretty solid role not close to Meta but really fun role historically.

34-

Janitor (7/10)

Big fan but admittedly it’s not the best.

33-

Oracle (7/10)

Very solid role and underused in my personal opinion, but it definitely isn’t amazing.

32-

Wizard (7/10)

Honestly just prefer Magician from its faction.

31-

Matchmaker (7/10)

A very useful role especially in the early game to out an evil early.

30-

Ninja (7.5/10)

This was such a good addition to the game and the name change was so good too I despised the name “sneaky slayer” Ninja is a fun role and honestly deserves a buff to get into the meta.

29-

Magician (8/10)

So basic but so good. Definition of short but sweet.

28-

Medusa (8/10)

Its veteran but worse but more fun? If that makes sense.

27- 

Hex Master (8/10)

Its pretty good not gonna lie even without its necro.

26-

Consigliere (8/10)

It is so cool that mafia can investigate a role on their own, its actually really really huge for the factions gameplay and is underrated.

25-

Pestilence (8/10)

Rampage fun, really really no skill.

24-

Soul Connector (8/10)

Such a good idea and role overall massive fan myself and really like the strategies that players use behind this to get more out of TKs and TPs.

23-

Town Necromancer (8/10)

Slightly worse retri, the nerf that it can’t use retri’s ability to revive retri sucks tho.

22- 

Fossil (9/10)

Its such a no skill role but still its so easy to get a win in a 28-player game when a bunch of people die N1 and N2.

21-

Plague Bearer (9/10)

Where Pestilence is no skill, its still the reward for a tough game as PB and is really tough early games just like a worse arsonist.

20-

Medic (9/10)

Basic but can be very clutch.

19-

Guard (9/10)

Bit better than medic it’s a really enjoyable role and helpful for town.

18-

Vampires (9/10)

Ridiculously strong faction when played right.

17-

Guardian Angel (9.5/10)

Ridiculously good role and fun as.

Amazing Roles:

16-

Arsonist (10/10)

The highest skill hard to play role in the game but if you make it deep it’s an absolutely fantastic role.

15-

Amnesiac (10/10)

Its literally claim, no one kills you, wait till one faction is about to win, remember someone from that faction, win. It’s the easiest no skill role ever.

14-

Framer (10/10)

Its absolutely massive for mafia especially in smaller games.

13-

Forger (10/10)

Mafia has a lot of 10s and Forger is definitely one helps if you supported your teammate in a 1f1 gone wrong or smth like that depends on the circumstances but huge.

12-

Roleblocker (Mafia) (10/10)

Hard counters jailor, and tbh is one of the only Jailor counters.

11-

Juggernaut (10/10)

Such a good role if you make it late game but unlike arsonist is still playable early game.

10-

Godfather (10/10)

So fun fits in anywhere promotion system as well it’s a huge boost to this role.

9-

Witch (10/10)

This is the direct reason for at least 20% of evil curb stomps. Easily in the Meta.

8-

Mystic (10/10)

Best TP in the game undisputedly.

7-

Retributionist (10/10)

Clutch when we actually use it but we never seem to…

6-

Tracker (10/10)

A really good town role for both confirming town and outing evils.

5-

Psychic (10/10)

This role is so useful to the point where evils where fake claiming it and honestly it’s a very very useful role.

4-

Werewolf (10/10)

Just better than mafioso and godfather.

3-

(Unique) Jailor (10/10)

I despise Jailor with a burning passion but with how much town is getting curb stomped recently its absolutely essential for them. The nerf was an amazing choice too)

2-

(Unique) Veteran (10/10)

So so so so so so so so so peak. Easily a meta card until TPs are stupid and go on it when they say they’re alerting but otherwise peak especially N1 before claim lists.

1-

Vigilante (10/10)

Call it over glaze but this is my list my opinion and this is the one area I was biased in and honestly I love vigilante end of story.

.
