Clone

What it looks like

The Clone is an Epic card that is unlocked from the Miner's Mine (Arena 15). It is an air-targeting spell with a medium radius that spawns fragile duplicates of all troops within its area of effect behind the originals. It is a translucent, teal-colored liquid encased in a small oblong vial, and appears to be duplicating itself. It is also the same as that spawned by the Santa Hog Rider. A Clone card costs 3 Elixir to deploy.

Trivia

• The word "Clone" comes from the Greek "klonos", meaning branch.
• The Clone is 1 of 7 spells which first existed in Clash of Clans, the others being Earthquake, Heal, Lightning, Freeze, Poison, and Rage. In Clash of Clans, the container for Clone resemble spells that take up 2 housing space (although the Clone takes up 3 housing space), whereas in Clash Royale, the container for the Clone resemble spells that take up only 1 housing space. Unlike its Clash of Clans counterpart, the Clone only produces one clone of a troop regardless of its size with an indefinite lifespan while in Clash of Clans, a single troop may produce multiple clones that are just as strong as the original, but is limited by a certain amount of housing space and they despawn after some time.
• In the French, Italian, and Arabic language settings of the game, the Clone's name translates to "Cloning".
