Strategy

Lilis excels at concealing information, as you cannot Reveal or use the abilities of any character that she kills. However, manually-activated character abilities can be used again each day, creating a sort of balance. In this way, Lilis's strength can vary wildly depending on whether or not you Reveal a manually-activated info card early on.

Beyond Lilis's ability to kill, she has no unique attributes and can otherwise be treated like a Demon version of Minion or his Twin. Just be mindful of the order in which you Reveal cards - anyone who Lilis kills cannot be Revealed. In order to minimise damage, if you're confident early on that someone is Evil, Executing them before you Reveal them will flip their card over without ticking towards nighttime. This can be used to mitigate the effects of Lilis's ability.

Remember to use your information abilities each day, be mindful of what could be hidden underneath characters that Lilis kills, and you should be able to fight her reasonably well.

Trivia

Because the Wretch registers as Evil to Lilis, she will sometimes kill Evil while the Wretch is unrevealed due to thinking everyone still face-down is Evil.
Lilis was originally called Empusa, but their name was changed to Lilis later on during development.
When she was first released, the filename for Lilis's card art was "empussy2.png". This has since been changed to "lilis.png".
Lilis is the first role that uses the Night Cycle system, which was introduced alongside her. She is also the first role that kills characters without you Executing them.
Lilis was not in the game in its first public release on itch.io. She was added alongside the Witness in the first version of the Steam playtest.
