Your 'build' or strategy must adapt to the specific game settings chosen by the host. These settings drastically alter gameplay.
- Number of Impostors: More Impostors means more kills, faster games, and more chaos. Fewer Impostors means Crewmates have more time to task and observe.
- Kill Cooldown: A short cooldown favors Impostors, allowing for rapid kills. A long cooldown forces Impostors to be more patient and strategic.
- Crewmate Speed: Faster speed means quicker tasking and easier escapes for Impostors. Slower speed makes movement more deliberate.
- Visual Tasks: If enabled, Crewmates can prove innocence. If disabled, Impostors can fake any task.
- Task Bar Updates: 'Always' helps Crewmates track progress. 'Meetings' or 'Never' makes it harder to know how close Crewmates are to a task win.
- Emergency Meetings: Limited meetings per player forces Crewmates to be more judicious with the button.
Before each game, quickly check the settings to adjust your strategy accordingly. A 'build' that works for one set of settings might fail miserably in another.
