Decoy

Template:PMS Amazons derive another benefit while learning to fight in the rainforests of their homeland. They learn, through misdirection and deception, to fool attacking forces into thinking there is another Amazon nearby. This subterfuge causes enemies to waste time and energy hunting down false prey while the Amazon moves in for the kill.

• Summons a duplicate of the Amazon to distract (but unable to attack) hostile units.
• Base life is 50% of the character's maximum total life at the point of casting (that displayed by the character screen, after all modifiers have been applied). Rounding down only occurs after Decoy's +% Life is applied. [1] Level 1 Decoy (+10% Life) cast by an Amazon with 125 maximum Life will have 68 ([125*0.5*1.1]) base Life, even if the Amazon only has 10 Life at the point of casting.
• Decoy's +% Life is multiplicative with +% Life from other sources: Decoy's +% Life is applied first, then +% Life from Battle Orders and Oak Sage is applied. [2]
• Defense for the relevant level and difficulty from MonLvl.txt is added to base defense before +[% Defense] from Shout and Defiance is applied. [3]
• While level >24 costs 1 mana, level >26 can be cast with no mana.
• Dispelled whenever the Amazon recasts it or uses portals, waypoints or Teleport.
• Knockback from items has 50% chance of being applied.
