How to Use the Clone Spell in Clash of Clans
The Clone Spell is one of the most powerful and versatile spells available in Clash of Clans, allowing you to duplicate troops on the battlefield. However, using this spell effectively requires strategy, timing, and a deep understanding of your troop compositions and defensive layouts.
In this article, we will dive into the ways you can use the Clone Spell to enhance your gameplay and take your Clans game to the next level.
How to use the Clone Spell in Clash of Clans
The Clone Spell can be used to duplicate a selected troop when activated, with the cloned units acting independently from the original unit. This means that the cloned unit will move and attack separately from its original, giving you twice the chances to take down your enemy’s towers.
To use the Clone Spell in your games, follow these simple steps:
Casting the Clone Spell
Here’s a step-by-step guide to casting the Clone Spell:
- Go to the spell screen in the inventory or when on the battlefield (press the "Menu" button > "Spells")
- Select the Clone Spell
- Click on the position on the screen where you want to create a copy of your troop
- Make sure the selected troop is within 300-500 distance units (around the 3-tower mark on the map’s Y-axis)
- Click and drag the spell icon to the exact location you want the cloned unit
Timing and Placement
- Cast the Clone Spell at the right time
- Consider waiting for 2-3 seconds before casting for a better shot at defeating towers or clearing the path for yourself
- Cast the Clone Spell nearest the enemy defenses
- Closer to buildings will make the clone more valuable as it’ll have higher priority in attacks
- Stay within the enemy’s building zone (approximately 700-900 units) to reap maximum benefits
Clone Timing Strategy
The timing when casting the Clone Spell is key to success. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Cast right after destruction
- After destroying walls and taking down towers for 2-3 seconds
- Be aware of enemy troops spawning; pause before using Clone if the enemy base will produce too many strong defenses
Effective Clone Utilization
