Gameplay tips
Place your clone where you want it: pressing M2 to throw the ball cancels the automatic placement, so you choose the spot.
If they're in the open, injure them with the power instead of M1: they gain less distance and it resets their Weakened state; in a structure, M1 is better.
The UVX blast travels through walls: when they loop tight to a wall, throw the ball at the wall to hit them and down them.
