If you ever encounter a file named Blood_Root_v1.1.3.3_stDoppel.exe or a script containing that string: Space Control: Because the Shadow Copy remains stationary

  1. Space Control: Because the Shadow Copy remains stationary until commanded, stDoppel excels at area denial. By placing the clone in a choke point, players can effectively block enemy pathing or set up traps for rushing mobs.
  2. Burst Damage: The optimal strategy involves cycling cooldowns rapidly. Using a heavy ability, triggering the clone, and then swapping places creates a chaotic "pincer" movement that confuses AI targeting.
  3. Risk vs. Reward: Version 1.1.3.3 tweaked the health scaling on the "Root Crawlers." stDoppel is relatively fragile. If the player gets too greedy with Phase Shifts, they can easily teleport themselves into the center of a mob swarm, resulting in a quick death.
