Vaal Double Strike

For the non-Vaal counterpart, see Double Strike.

Vaal Double Strike is a Vaal melee skill that performs two fast attacks and summons two doubles of the character to attack monsters for a duration.

Skill function and interactions

Using this skill spawns two clones of your character that use Double Strike to attack. The clones gain all the effects on the character, such as auras and flasks, and are immune to all forms of damage.

Unlike similar skills that creates clones of your character, like Mirror Arrow, the clones are not classified as minions, so they will not benefit from any effects regarding minions.

The clones create a visual snapshot of the character upon usage of the skill, which includes visual effects like the charges or monster auras stolen by Headhunter or Inspired Learning. These effects will not have any effect on the clones however.

The clones will teleport to your location if you move too far away from them.

In Merciless difficulty, they require 100% more (which is the same as before the patch).
