Epiphany Clone spawn mechanics

Hi all, trying to understand how the clone works, because I am extremely frustrated by how random it seems, especially on maps with a lot of walls. It seems to spawn randomly and not where I am, or where I am clicking with my mouse, and often I need to wait seconds before the one that spawns in a bad location despawns to try my luck again.

Is there any way to control their behavior better? I find WoL to be super fun, but not when i’m doing no damage because the clone decides to spawn in the middle of nowhere.

typically it spawn near to you but if you have pirted often times it stucks where it was. then you need to stop casting for a while, after that it comes back to you
