Summary

The Magic Mirror is a piece of Epic Hero Equipment for the Archer Queen . It was first seen in the "Mirror Clone Technique" challenge on August 7, 2024, and is available during the Anime Clash Medal Event which started on August 9, 2024. Since October 15, 2024, it may appear in the Trader , where it is obtainable for 1,500 Gems.
The Magic Mirror appears as a small, circular golden mirror with thick glass and a light blue gem at the top center. When equipped and activated, it enables the Archer Queen to summon temporary clones of herself when using her ability. Additionally, she turns invisible for a short duration, which, among other things, allows these clones to protect the original Archer Queen, all while distracting defenses from targeting her. The clones have fixed damage per second and hitpoints, dependent only on the level of the Magic Mirror. Regardless of their stats, they will be displayed as having the same level as the original Archer Queen.

Every three levels improve the clones' damage and hitpoints. At levels 9 and 27, these clones last longer, while at level 18, a second clone is added.
Cloned Archer Queens do not attain the abilities of the other piece of Hero Equipment the Archer Queen has equipped. For example, with the Invisibility Vial , the clones will neither turn invisible nor receive boosted damage during the ability, while with the Frozen Arrow , the clones will not slow down their targets.
Cloned Archer Queens are considered Heroes for the purposes of determining how other units interact with them. For instance, they receive reduced effects from spells and Healers , and can be preferentially targeted by opposing Headhunters . They are considered to take up 25 housing space when interacting with Recall Spells .
In addition to generating Clones, equipping the Magic Mirror also provides the Archer Queen with a fixed amount of passive HP boost, and active hitpoint recovery upon ability activation.
Like clones of regular troops, cloned Archer Queens can continue attacking if the real Archer Queen is defeated.

Strategies

When this ability is activated, the Archer Queen summons weaker clones of herself, and have more health and damage. These summoned clones do not use any Hero Equipment.
When against high-damage defenses such as the single-target Inferno Towers and defending Clan Castle troops, you can use this ability to turn the Archer Queen invisible, while her clones distract them, allowing the Queen and her clones to deal with them. However, this can be a drawback, since the real Archer Queen can be targeted next after the clones have died, likely due to high-damaging defenses or traps.

When recalling an Archer Queen with the Magic Mirror ability with Healers, do not activate the ability before you recall her, otherwise most of the Healers will not be recalled.
In general, this equipment is a direct upgrade to the Invisibility Vial as the brief period of invisibility can cause most defenses to target the clones with higher health instead, they last longer than the invisible duration and the damage per second increase with the clones is more than the Invisibility Vial. It even provides more passive hitpoint increase and extra health recovery for the Queen, as she is more vulnerable not being invisible the whole time. However, it has some drawbacks due to high-damaging defenses like the Eagle Artillery , Scattershots , and Firespitters can easily defeat the original and the cloned Archer Queens. Therefore, the Magic Mirror is not used as the Equipment for Queen Charges since these aforementioned defenses will easily defeat her, especially if she is low on health.

There are some notable interactions when using other Hero Equipment for the Archer Queen: With the Invisibility Vial, the duration of the invisibility is not combined. With the Healer Puppet , most of the time the Healers will heal the original Queen if she is at the same or higher health than the clones. However, if the original low-level Archer Queen is equipped with a much higher level Magic Mirror, the summoned Healers will target the clones, and not the original Queen, which can be a disadvantage, due to the fact that the clones last for a limited time.

When using this Hero Equipment, it is best to upgrade it to at least level 18 to get the full potential, as lower levels will only summon one clone instead of two. If you cannot rush to level 18 in a short amount of time, you can rush to level 9 instead, as you get a much longer clone duration, which can help you in attacking.

It is not advisable to use this ability around splash or multi-targeting defenses, as with the Invisibility Vial, the clones stay visible, and the splash damage could still hit the original Archer Queen. Any chain damage, whether from defending Super Wizards or Electro Dragons, will also be able to hit the Archer Queen via the clones.

Defensive Strategies

High-damaging defenses such as the Eagle Artillery , Scattershots , and Multi-Archer Towers will destroy the clones as fast as possible, causing the clones to despawn if the clones are destroyed. Also, since the invisibility will only last for one second, multi-targeting defenses such as the Giga Inferno will also target the real Queen after she is revealed, preventing her and her clones to get the maximum value.

Traps such as Bombs and Giant Bombs can damage both the original Archer Queen and her clone/s. Tornado Traps can waste some of the duration of the clone time, effectively reducing their value, if the base is properly designed.

Skeletons from Skeleton Traps can distract the real and cloned Archer Queens for a brief period of time.
Poison Spell Towers, Headhunters, Lava Hounds and/or Ice Golems can slow down the advance of the original and cloned Archer Queens, as they help to reduce the value of destroying buildings.

Trivia

The Magic Mirror's mechanics is the same as the Clone Spell 's, as this Equipment is the only way to clone a Hero, as conventional Clone Spells do not work on Heroes . However, this only applies to the Archer Queen herself and not the other four Heroes. Do take note that the Archer Queen's clones cannot be cloned by a Clone Spell.
