Notes

• Drain-over-time and channeled abilities like  Wisp's  Sol Gate and  Ivara's  Artemis Bow are capable of spawning clones.
• Clones will attack enemies whether or not  Assault Mode is equipped.
• Energy removed by the Energy Drain modifier in Nightmare missions counts towards the energy needed to spawn a companion copy.
• Since clone creation requires Energy spent, this mod cannot be triggered by  Hildryn or  Lavos.
• Clones are completely invulnerable to any form of damage and can only die after their listed lifespan has elapsed since they were created.
  • Despite being invincible, enemies will still have their aggro drawn to them and attempt to fight them.
• Cloned Sentinels will float toward enemies rather than sticking to the player, drawing some aggro away from the player as a result.
• Invisibility achieved through Abilities and other manner only affects the main Companion; it does not work on the summoned/spawned clone and they will remain visible to distract enemy fire.
• Since the clones can only use basic attacks, they benefit greatly from mods like Swipe or Shattering Impact, and/or methods that utilize their basic attacks.
• While clones cannot activate any abilities, even passive ones like  Energy Generator, they can still be useful for spreading status, especially if buffed by external sources, such as  Nourish.
  • Clones will not benefit from the elemental buff granted by  Momentous Bond nor the Void damage buff from  Astral Bond.
• Clones will not benefit from, nor trigger,  Vicious Bond or  Seismic Bond.
• This mod cannot be equipped on Venari.

Bugs

• Using the Arsenal in the simulacrum may cause the mod to cease functioning.
