Clone tutorial video
Use this short video as a quick visual reference, then practice the same sequence in a private room: create the clone, check the angle, delete it, and place it again somewhere less obvious.
Where to place a clone
A good clone should make the Seeker pause and check one more place. It should not sit beside your real body or point directly to your escape route.
- Place the clone in a different sightline from your real body
- Use corners, props, furniture, or color patches that make the clone look explainable
- Avoid placing the clone and real body in a straight line
- Use clones more on wide maps; be careful in narrow rooms where every angle is easy to clear
Common clone mistakes
The biggest mistake is treating a clone like a free second life. It is a risky misdirection tool, so it should support your paint, pose, and route plan.
- Placing a clone in the middle of an empty floor
- Keeping the clone too close to your real body
- Doing nothing after the Seeker notices the clone
- Only practicing Q, without practicing deletion and repositioning
