That being said, there are still a few aspects that might help you become a better Imposter in Among Us. These include:

  • Making sure you have an alibi. However, ensure that you don't try to fake a common task not assigned in that specific round. Observing other Crewmates can help in not making this mistake.
  • Among Us allows up to three imposters in a game of four to ten people. You must have a good understanding with the other Imposter(s) without bringing up the fact about who the Imposter is in the audio chat.
  • Make sure to have a good understanding as to who are the sharp Crewmates and set your priorities to murder accordingly. Killing off the Crewmate who is more likely to catch you gives you a significant advantage over the others.
  • Have a proper understanding of the maps as well as the vent routes. It is also essential to keep a lookout when going in or out of vents to avoid getting caught.
  • You must understand the use of sabotage and how each sabotage can direct Crewmates towards a certain direction of the ship.
  • When necessary, you have to use the report option to direct blame towards others or even frame someone.
