(well any troop except heroes can be clonned and has no benefits or cons) and yes, Golemite etc. must have specified housing space then - for example: Golemite (10HS), Lava Pup (2HS), Skeleton (1HS)


Thanks for your feedback, it is really helpful for me!
Maybe in future I will consider adding one more spell level, reducing the max HS, etc. :)

Actually , the housing space of golemite has been confirm by supercell as their golem is 30 space, the golemite is 15

Good idea, I think that it would be better if the clone only had half of the max HP and were stronger than the original, but died shortly after creation. upgrading increases the troop duration 5s-20s. cloning would not be limited by total housing space but larger troops (dragons, golems, lava hounds, etc) would need a max Lvl spell. Lvl 1 spell could clone 5 troops that are less than 5 housing space. Lvl 2 spell could clone a total of 10 troops that are less than 16 housing space. A Lvl 3 spell could clone 15 troops of any housing spaces

It duration should be 8 seconds atleast at lvl 1

IV. Statistics

Radius	Housing Space	Cloning Frequency	Time to Brew	Dark Spell Factory Level Required	Duration	Targets
3 tiles	1	Every 3 seconds	20 mins	4	10 seconds	Ground & Air Troops

Level	Maximum Amount of Clones (Housing Space of Troops)	Cost http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...ark_elixir.png	Research Cost http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...ark_elixir.png	Research Time	Laboratory Level Required
1	5	140	N/A	7 days	N/A
2	7	165	60.000	10 days	7
3	10	200	90.000	13 days	8

---

V. Explanation

- Cloning time is 1 second
- When the cloning process starts, it will spawn a blue-coloured figure (clone) of the original troop which starts moving when the original troop is one tile away from the clone
- If the original troop dies before the cloning process is done, there is no new troop
- Clones target the same buildings as their originals until they changes to living troop and they can attack if they are not living troops already too
- When the spell exhausts maximum amount of made clones, it closes itself (ends)
- Troops don't have to stay in the spell radius they will clone also when out (only cloning started inside the spell - troops can't start duplicating when out of spell radius)
- Clone spell is stackable with other Clone spells, what means you can drop four level 1 Clone spells on a Dragon and it will get duplicated and spells close
- Clone spell prioritize smaller troops (at first clones smaller, then bigger etc...), but when get stacked with other Clone spells, it changes to prioritize bigger troops

---

VI. Attacking Strategies

- Place this spell in area where many of your troops
- Place this spell when your troops have low health
- Units such as Giants, Hog riders or Dragons are good choice to clone, because they won't die easily
- Don't place in areas where you think are traps, so the clones will survive longer

---

VII. Defending Strategies

- Place your splash damage traps smartly
- Upgrade your splash damage dealing defenses
- Be sure enemy won't lure your clan castle troops easily

---

VIII. Positives vs Negatives

Positives:
- Unique spell
- Increases the power of your army
- It duplicates only a certain amount of troops housing space
- You are able to clone any of existing troops (except heroes of course)

Negatives:
- If the cloning process isn't completed before the original troop dies, there's no new troop

---

IX. FAQ & Trivia

Q: Does Clone spell affect Heroes?
A: No, it only affects troops.

Q: Can Clone spell duplicate Golems?
A: Yes, Clone spell is able to stack with other Clone spells, so you can clone one Golem by dropping (for example) six level 1 Clone spells at him.

Q: Can Clone spell duplicate Golemites, Lava pups or Skeletons?
A: Yes.
*Golemite etc. must have specified housing space
- for example: Golemite (15HS), Lava Pup (2HS), Skeleton (1HS)

A: Yes,any troop except heroes can be clonned and has no benefits or cons.

X. Conclusion

Supercell is a great company and always takes into account people's suggestions, so I believe if this thread gets enough support Clone spell could end up in the game. I would love to hear what Supercell thinks about this idea!

Meh. :D

Only these two are similar to that my.

http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...54-Clone-Spell
http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...Clone-Spell%21

And also they are not full suggested, detailed and balanced.

So please stop hating ideas that has same name as some which have been posted before. ;)


PS: You are new on forums so you should think before you post anywhere

Good idea, I like the part where the clones will target the same targets - that opens up more strategies.


Its a bit confusing ATM tho.


If the clones are dying, will it keep spawning clones until it hits maximum troop capacity - like a distraction?

Can the clones be targeted or take damaged before they are "alive"

How about skeletons and golem sprites (the smaller ones that split off) - how does it respond to those?







Good concept though. Its the sort of thing that would have to be play tested to establish balance

Thanks a lot for these unasked questions!

1. The maximum cloning capacity goes reduced after a Clone is done from real troop. But if the done live-appearing clones die, the cloning capacity won't make a free space for another new clone.

2. No, they do not take any damage until they are live-appearing (cloning process is done).

3. Clone spell clones any troops, so Lava pups, Skeletons etc. too.

At first I thought this might be a bit op, now I think about it, maybe not. Say for example you have a giant and let's say a wizard and 7 archers all in one space and you drop a level 3 cloning spell which ahs 10 housing space , who will get cloned? Is it completely random? Like it could be the giant and 5 archers get cloned, or the wizard and 6 archers.....and so on. So is there a specific algorithm for who gets cloned or is it random? I like this idea, and sorry for saying it was copied, i didn't mean to accuse and now that I looked, I see you expanded greatly on anything they said, nice presentation, and great work:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Finally something on the level of forumer :)

Thanks for your feedback! When one spell is thrown in an area, it prioritize smaller troops, if more spells in one area, it prioritize bigger troops (because Clone spells stack together)
But you just gave me an inspiration to give it more accuracy! ;)
