Scum's best response to a town massclaim is to strongman-kill the cop N1, roleblock the Universal Backup=Cop N2 (while regular-killing the JK), and regular-kill the Universal Backup=Cop N3. This prevents the town making any further uses of their power roles, and 4 Innocent Child : 6 Vanilla Townie : 3 Mafia Goon is close to balanced (although not fun to play).

I'm pretty sure this is broken for town by hypoclaim, though (i.e. each player states a strong townread on D1, for most townies it's just a genuine read, but the Cop uses this to breadcrumb their N0 result in a way that everyone can unambiguously determine what it was), together with claiming at L-1. Town can make almost as efficient as use of claim-to-confirm as if they'd massclaimed, whereas scum have much less information on how to stop the town power roles getting even confirmations.
