Clash Royale | How to Clone Spell | Clone Skipping - YouTube

Mmm! it's a OrangeJuice

what's up everyone this is orange juice

the clone spell is unlocked in frozen peak

when the spell comes out you can

buy the special offer for 400 gems

this brings it up to level 3

It scales like the old mirror did so at tournament

standard all cloned units are the same

leveling up the card will make clone

units deal more damage, so if you have a

level-three clone spell and clone a level

one baby dragon the clone baby dragon

will deal the damage of a level three baby dragon

the reverse also true for

example if my original Musketeer's level 8 and my clone spell is level 4

The cloned musketeer will deal the damage of a level 7 musketeer

All clone units don't have a spawn time they last forever

but they do only have one hit point

that means you can counter the spell very easily with splash cards like

Wizard, arrows, or even a zap.

It's a spell that can be cast anywhere on the map it does

not clone enemy units it only clones

your own units except for buildings

spells cannot be cloned including The Log

it's a spell so the wood will not clone

When you clone a unit it temporarily

suspends the unit as they're being

cloned this means that they'll stop

moving, and they'll stop attacking for

the moment that they're splitting up

it will reset unit charge attacks like

Prince, Sparky, or Inferno Dragon

If the original target remains within range of

the tower it will continue hitting that

target leaving the clone untouched

imagine a unit coming out of freeze

your enemy tower will still be targeting it

but your unit will begin targeting the

nearest unit, so if a Royal Giant is

frozen or cloned and a new building is

placed in front of it, it'll target

that building instead

Just like freeze spell if you clone a sparky it

completely resets her attack

Spells work incredibly well against clones

fireball, zap, arrows, poison, or tornado works great against the clones

units will retain all of their mechanics when cloned

A cloned Witch will spawn

skeletons, those skeletons will have one

health but will deal full damage

casting the clone spell will always push

the real units to the left and the clone

units will spawn on the right side

this will happen anywhere on the map

knowing how this works is pretty important if

the clone runs towards the tower first it'll just die

so on the left lane it's better for units are closer to the right side of the bridge before casting

clone spell so that the first unit to

cross the river is the original unit

The same is also true in the right lane

since the real unit is always pushed to

the left side it's better to cast the

clone spell if the original unit is

standing on the right side of the bridge

in this entire video i'll refer to this

mechanic as clone skipping

You can take advantage of this mechanic to bypass a building

normally a 4-1 plant will pull the Balloon

using the spell on the left lane you can clone skip the balloon

away from the building and straight to the arena tower

you can clone skip with other units too

if you want to split lanes with clones planting a unit near

the center will skip the real unit to the left

a cloned Ice Spirit will freeze

units for the full duration of 1.5 seconds

on the topic of freeze if your

unit is frozen and you clone it the

duplicate unit will not be frozen

this can be an advantage of your

opponent uses freese defensively like if

there's two seconds left in the game and

they're trying to stop your balloon

The spell will only clone what's physically

on the map

so if you originally played a minion horde

and there's only one minion left

it'll only duplicate that last standing minion

The cloned Ice Wizards attack will

deal full damage, maintain it splash attack, as well as slow units by 35%

The same with the Ice Golems death nova

it'll slow units by thirty-five percent

as well as deal the full 70 death damage

in the same regard as the ice wizard

a clone princess her retain her insane range and full splash damage

the ice golem is the clone spells worst enemy

it's death damage and annihilates all clones within its proximity

if you mirror clone spell it won't duplicate

any clones it'll only duplicate the real

unit resulting in two clones

so if you wanted to play gimmicky deck

the best way to do that is the first

mirror the card then clone them for

quadruple the madness but it's rare that

you would want to do this since the

clones have one health

here's where it gets really cool

clone guards and dark prince will retain their shield

that means they can survive a rocket

but their shield will still have one hit point

so a clone dark prince will die in two shots

because a clone shield also has one health an ideal

spell counter against clone units with shield is poison or tornado

a cloned lumberjack will drop a rage spell when it dies

rage spells do not stack

having multiple rage spells on top of each

other do not stack the boost remains at thirty-five percent

On the topic of unit death drops a clone balloon and giant

skeleton do drop a bomb that deals full

damage cloning a giant skeleton in the

heat of the battle usually means that

the clone dies immediately which can be

good if you want to set off the bomb right on the spot

As i mentioned earlier cloned units are always pushed to the

left you can use this to your advantage to manipulate pathing

for a giant skeleton it's pretty easy to kite them with an ice golem

you just plant the ice golem in the other lane

and it'll chase it all the way to the other side

when I use the clone spell with the giant skeleton to

prevent hiding it's not even about

cloning him the most important aspect

here is that clone skipping the giant

skeleton cancels out the kiting

on certain occasions he'll beeline straight

to structure like a pre planted cannon

in this case i use the spell to clone skip the giant skeleton all the way to the left

avoiding the cannon pathing

the giant skeleton went straight to the tower finishing it off

With the balloon a similar concept can be applied

the optimal building placement to counter

a balloon the plant it on the edge

four tiles from the river and one tile from the arena tower

but with the spell you

can clone skip and push it all the way

to the left and away from the tower

this is only effective on the left lane

of your map since the real balloon always goes left

keep in mind that your opponent's left lane is your right lane

so you have the left lane advantage

while your opponent will have right lane advantage

this isn't limited to these units either

you could theoretically do this with any other

unit like the hog you could pig push a

hog then clone skip him to bypass even a 4-2 building plant

another interesting benefit to clone skipping is dodging units

here the balloon was cloned

which pushed it away from my mega minion and

allowed it to reach the tower

another unit to benefit from the clone spells is a golem

unlike what other videos have indicated

these cloned units will pop babies when they die

the clone golems and its golemites

will deal death damage as well

for lava hound it's the deadliest

the clone hound will pop lava pups

as soon as the Hound reaches the tower it's really a good idea

to clone it because if it pops the

original lava hound will continue tanking for the clone pups

sometimes it's not even about cloning the strongest cards

it's a struggle to get even one giant skeleton to reach the tower

here Mana caught me by surprise when he cloned his archers

and they ended up dealing over a thousand damage to my tower

overall the clone spell can be used in very creative ways

similar to how a tornado has very unique abilities like

like how it can force a hog to activate the King's tower

this spell has a lot of potential

it's going to take a while to learn how to use

it's vulnerable to ice golem, spells, and splash units

When i use the deck with Guards, Dark Prince, Witch, or a Giant Skeleton

i found that it was really high cost to build up a death ball

and once I built up a really strong push

tornado would just take out my entire cloned army

since the tornado last three seconds it even took out the guards and the Dark Princes' Shields

One of the absolute best counters to this card is Poison

just because it offers area denial for

the entire 10 seconds of the push

planting a clone spell will result in

dead clones immediately but that's not

necessarily a bad thing

maybe you want to clone skip your hog

to bypass the cannon

so he can go straight to the arena tower

or you just want to clone a giant skeleton to detonate its bomb early

if they don't have a poison spell but you

know that your clones gonna die immediately

maybe just want to spawn instant lava

pups by having your hound pop early

while testing this card i found that

there were some occasions where i needed

extra firepower so i'd need to clone the units on my side just to defend

if there's a baby dragon defending your attack

there's no way you're gonna be able

to clone anything and have it surviving your push without it dying immediately

when using the clone spell I found that most

decks has zap and ice golem

and it was really hard to clone minion horde unless

those cards were out of rotation

sometimes it feels like a rage spell

you only use it when you're winning so that

you can win even harder

there's so many ways to use the spell

but i think one of the best aspects

of the spell is that it can clone skip

units to bypass buildings

the only problem is that it costs three

elixir so it's a bit costly to clone skip

we look forward to seeing some cool clone combos people can come up with

maybe even a crazier tech clone skipping

thanks for watching

stay tuned for more quality OJ
