Shadow clones

shadow clones is a miscellaneous item in item asylum. It allows the user to summon two clones of themself. 
==Functionality==
Activating shadow clones will play a distinct noise before creating two clones of the user out of a puff of smoke, appearing directly to the left and right of them. These clones will immediately target the closest enemy, chasing after them with a special running animation.
The clones have 1 health and a walkspeed of 35. Upon close contact with an enemy, they will attack by punching enemies repeatedly. Each punch deals 10 damage, as well as applying brief hitstun and weak knockback. They have a 5 second lifetime until they vanish, and cannot be damaged by their creator. The clones copy the face, body parts, skin tone, and accessories of the user, including those applied by items such as loadsamoney or wish vest. The clones do not copy lost limbs.
shadow clones has a 10 second cooldown between uses.
==Tips==
*In redlightgreenlight, you can use this item just before a red light is triggered to successfully eliminate other players easily, as the latter are unable to take any actions without risking getting shot by the turrets, and the turrets will not target NPCs.
* Clones are highly effective against slow-to-react items like birch tree and single-target items.
*The clones can block projectiles or bullets. However, Isle items are unaffected.
*Clones last long enough so that they can kill an average player on their own; however, this requires the clones to be cast close to the target. Be sure that you are within 20 studs away from your target before using this item if you want to be able to kill them with one use.
*You can exploit the clones' hitstun to prevent someone from engaging in counteraction. While they are stunned, this presents either an opportunity for you to launch an offensive maneuver or allows you the option to strategically withdraw from the situation.

==Trivia==
*This item is based on the Shadow Clone Technique in Naruto.
* Damage dealt by shadow clones cannot charge items reliant on damage for usage, such as the button.
*The clones share the same attacking animation of the uncertified dummy and the Chicken.
