{{otheruses|the skill type|the Wintersday activity skill given to Mesmers|Clone (Snowball Mayhem)}}

A [[clone]] is one of the two types of [[illusion]]s created by the [[mesmer]], primarily intended to distract the enemy: Clones mimic the appearance and basic behavior of the caster, but have significantly lower health and do relatively little damage. Upon creation, clones focus only on their targeted foe, persisting until the clone's target is defeated or the clone expires through damage, being [[shatter]]ed or being replaced by a new clone.

== Mechanics ==
* Clones are created by any skill with a type of ''clone''.
* A clone is also created when a phantasm expires because its attack has been completed or interrupted.
* Unlike phantasms, clones display the same name and targeting badge as the mesmer who created them.
* They are affected by [[boon]]s, area [[effect]]s, and [[condition]]s, but not by [[environmental hazard]]s such as lava.
* A clone's basic attack is the same as the caster's first weapon skill, e.g. [[Spatial Surge]] for clones created while wielding a [[greatsword]]. Clones have approximately 1 second of delay between attacks, meaning they attack slower than the player. All effects of attacks such as conditions caused by [[Winds of Chaos]] still apply.
** Clones summoned while holding a bundle will default to wielding a sword.
** Clones summoned while under a transformation that replaces one's weapon will sometimes replicate the skills of the transformation.
* Although base damage of clones is near zero, they can apply conditions and boons depending on traits selected and their attack skill. Their purpose is to distract opponents, attract aggro, and be [[shatter]]ed by the mesmer to produce damage and other effects.
