Trickster in Avalon: False Loyalty & Merlin
Abilities at a glance
- Team and objective
- Evil. A good result from a loyalty check does not change your actual team.
- Ability and information
- On this platform, Trickster appears good to loyalty checks, including Lady of the lake, Cleric and the check granted by Witch.
- Important limits
- Is the Trickster hidden from Merlin? No. Merlin still sees this role as evil. Troublemaker has the opposite effect: a good player whose checked loyalty appears evil.
Practical situations
- A good check result can support your bluff, but it is not proof that no evil player was on a failed mission.
- If Merlin’s public reasoning contradicts a good check result, avoid reacting with private certainty: other players do not know whether Trickster is the explanation.

General Tips:
- Cultivate a trustworthy persona: Successfully fooling other players requires building credibility. Act consistently and help complete quests to gain trust.
- Create confusion: Sow seeds of doubt about other's roles subtly, drawing suspicion away from yourself and onto actual members of the good side.
- Monitor your influence: Keep track of how others perceive you and adjust your strategy to maintain your disguise.
