How it works

Doppel conjures a decoy of yourself. Stand an armor stand on the pattern's centre block, then right-click the centre. The stand is spent, and a double wearing your gear and your head peels away. A doppel peels away and walks your trail for 12s.

The double walks your recent path backwards, and monsters within 16 blocks turn their attention to it. When its time runs out, it vanishes.

Tier	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Lasts	5s	8s	12s	18s	24s	36s	60s

Tips

Walk a long loop before you wake it. The double retraces that loop and leads the monsters away from where you stand.
