Kiri clone build needs nerfs

She’s an immortal backline assassin. Her buffs shouldn’t apply to her clones and her damage needs to be toned down. Her ability that lets her tp without a target should be removed.

I think that’s fine tbh but yeah the clone needs some changes. Also does the clone stats still not count?

Clones benefit from Kiri’s WP and ASp.

Yeah I know but there was a thing (or still is) where the dmg/healing of the clone doesn’t go towards the scoreboard.

Oh, hmmm… I don’t know.

There are many fixes they can do. A simple one is just nerfing the clone so that they are at 50% effectiveness, so they scale a lot more sensibly throughout the match. Or they can make the clone healing only, no dps.

Otherwise they can just nerf the teleport without a direction power so that it increases the cooldown for a few seconds, meaning that Kiriko has to commit to an encounter, increasing the risk. (They would need to fix the clunkyness of it regardless though which would indirectly be a buff.)
I personally prefer this because I am not in favour of removing distinct playstyles from characters. Flank dps kiriko should still be viable, but the risk should match the reward and right now it’s just too easy to get value out of from round 3+.

I played three games with the build last night. In my third game ever with the build, I went 16-0-1 in one round. The next highest on kills was one dps with I think 11? After that it was all 4 to 6 elims.

Clone gives kiriko no stats,therefore no stadium credits for any of the heal or damage. In a way the clone is about a 35% nerf to her credits. The clone is the only ability that is like that. I’ve reported this as a bug. Whole season still not fixed.

Yup. Most broken build in the game right now. Clone should do no damage, not be able to heal, and cannot act on its own. The HP bar needs to be fixed and it needs to have the same durability as the player Kiri. It should be used as a confusion tactic ONLY and nothing else.

I just played against it and it’s actually cancerous. Omg

Clone should not scale hp, damage, attack speed at all.
More like a decoy.

People complain about soldier aimbot abilities while the clone has 100% uptime with aimbot and scales off Kirikos stats.
Shouldn’t be a thing.
