Dex can deploy a Beacon at a chosen location, and transform himself into a clone. If the Clone is killed, Dex will return to the Beacon’s position, restoring his health before transforming. He can also use Mimic Traps to ambush his enemies, and activate Shield Scales to protect himself. While the clone baits you in, Dex controls everything from the shadows. By the time you notice—it’s already too late.
