Doppelganger (Family)

For the skill, see Doppelganger.

Basic Information

• Doppelgangers are unique monsters that are able to mimic their enemies in various ways.
  • They first appear as Shadow Alchemists, but eventually will change their appearance to match their opponent's Equipment, In-Game Name, Guild, and Title.
    • They do not, however, copy Skills, Skill Ranks, Weapons, or Stats.
  • The Doppelganger normally copies the party leader, but may copy anyone else if aggroed.
    • If the party leader is too far from the Doppelganger, it will remain in its original form.
  • The Doppelganger will say whatever the copied player is saying at exactly the same time.
  • Copied players as well as their pets are considered enemies to other players and are subject to attack.
    • It may be advised that the player that has been copied stay out of the fight if party members happen to use multi-hitting skills (e.g. Windmill, Smash Splash Damage, etc.).
• There are several ways to tell the Doppelganger apart from the person it copied:
  • The Doppelganger does not copy Prefix Titles, Talent Titles, or equipped Wings.
  • The Doppelganger will always have angry emotion on its face and does not have a mouth or lips.
  • The Doppelganger's undergarments is darker than a regular player's.
  • The Doppelganger always has the same weapon: a Cylinder, Dual Wielded Longswords (Human), Great Mallet (Giant), and Long Bow (Elf).
  • The player who is copied can summon a pet in "healing" AI mode or any AI that has it follow the master to avoid confusion as well.
  • If the player is using "the Married" title, the Doppelganger will not have the player's partner in its title.
  • If the Doppelganger is copying someone who is using a guild title, the guild name is in place of the title.
• Other things to note:
  • Doppelgangers never resort to Normal Attacks. However, their Reserve Attack will still activate.
  • If you make any changes to your appearance after the Doppelganger has copied you (e.g. put on or take off a robe), after some time the doppelganger will "update" its appearance to copy your changes.
  • Sometimes the Doppelganger will take the form of another player in the mission in the middle of fighting. This has been observed to happen when someone is knocked back by it or a clone. It also always happens when the Doppelganger uses Teleportation.
  • If an uncopied Doppelganger is too far away from the target it intends to mimic, it will teleport to him/her regardless of distance.
  • There is a rare possibility that the Doppelganger will be cloned out of two people: one person's appearance and another's clothing.
    • However, if the other person's clothing cannot be worn due to race restrictions, the Doppelganger's body will turn invisible, with only its head, hands, and feet showing.
  • If you successfully tame the Doppelganger, it will revert back to its original form, but still carry a weapon.
• If a person in the party has at least rank F (if not higher) Shock, the Doppelganger can be safely stunned during the skill's duration.
• It can be snared by Puppet's Snare, allowing an opening for attacks.
• Doppelgangers can be shut down using Somersault Kick, which prevents it from attacking entirely.

Notes & Advice Notes Water Cannon, Wind Blast, and Flame Burst are Rank 1. Poison is ineffective. It can summon 8-9 weak clones at one time. Clones increase the Doppelganger's Protection by roughly 15% per clone. Protection decreases again as the clones are defeated. It may resummon clones after you've defeated them. Immune to the Sharp Mind skill. (You cannot see its bubble at all.) To know what the Doppelganger is using, try seeing what the Doppelganger is loading into the Cylinder. (Water = Water Cannon, Fire = Flame Burst, etc.) Advice Windmill may cause it to stand still temporarily and cancel any skills. Can be repeatedly stun-locked by Ice Spear. Using Somersault Kick can result in the Doppelganger losing its ability to use Alchemy Skills.

Notes & Advice Notes Summoned by the head doppelganger. Minion Doppelgangers increase the Protection of the Head Doppelganger by roughly 15% per clone, so long as it is alive. Skills vary depending on the race of the cloned player. Generally weak, but be careful of being hit when you're in Deadly Status in Light and Darkness. Human clones will appear dual-wielding Longswords. Elf clones will appear using a Long Bow. Elf clones use Human Ranged Attack instead of Elf Ranged Attack. Giant clones will appear using a Great Mallet. If successfully tamed with Control of Darkness, it will go back to its original form, but will still carry the appropriate weapon. Advice Lure them away from the head doppelganger to avoid dangerous confrontations. Windmill is effective when they are in a large group.

Notes & Advice Notes The Doppelganger has regeneration from Awakening of Light, effectively rendering all attacks worthless. The Doppelganger also possesses Reflective Damage, dealing 25% of the damage inflicted on it back to its attacker. It taunts the player after using Fury of Light. Advice A fast mount may be useful to avoid its constant attacks..

Notes & Advice Notes The damage that can be dealt to it at once appears to be capped; dealing high amounts of damage will make it regen HP a little faster before going back to the expected amount. The Doppelganger spawns copies at the start, but will not actively create any more. Its stats are directly related to the amount of clones there are on the field. Lowering defense and protection is highly recommended. Using the Brionac, Spinning Uppercut and/or summoning a Bone/ Mir Dragon will give this effect. Periodically the screen will flash and four pillars will illuminate a dark fog. If you don't hit these pillars in time, more Doppelganger copies will spawn. After it loses ~50% health, the pillars will instead grant Shadow Spirit stacks to the Doppelganger. At this point no copies will appear. Anchor Rush will be useful in going to each pillar. Using Windmill, or Anchor Rush, will cancel Shadow Spirit. Advice Use a Fynn Pet with Divine Link. The Wind element may trigger additionnal damage per second. For more damage per second, the Wild Frenzy pet perk can be combined with everything else. Make use of wounding skills if you cannot out-damage the doppelganger's regeneration reliably. Avoid using slow-paced skillsets like magic or puppetry since you need to out-DPS the doppelganger's regeneration. You can make use of Catering dishes that help with your damage type, or other potions such as Physical Power Potions.

Trivia

• The term "Doppelganger" is first heard in Generation 2, describing them as Fomorians mimicking Humans.
