Being antag is a rare thing and sometimes it stinks when you get robusted because you dont know how to play it, so maybe antags could press a button to let them obtain a little ghost helper that only they can hear. Of course this ghost would be locked spectating the person until they die and would be selected a lot like mid round antag spawns.
Now im aware mentor mice exist but there arent always mentors on, hopefully this would give every antag a guide that needs it.

there's nothing stopping them from mentorhelping antag-specific questions or even asking for someone to mouse in and help them, if they'd like. it's just that help is usually more effective when someone's actually looking for it, and the frequency of antag stuff getting mhelped is surprisingly low

Blob had some sort of tutorial and It is pretty helpful, other antagonist roles can benefit from this sort of mechanic for new players. I think this would be a good assistance when combined with mentorhelp one doesn't hinder another.

Most other antags get the VR murder box to practice their murder kit. The main catch is how to exploit the tools you get, but that knowledge is something you only gain with time.
Folk in discord and mentors in mhelps are happy to give tips for stuff, but most of it will still be something that you learn by trial and error, and IMO it's part of the fun.
