New UI change for clones?
You messed up some words I think.
On your picture you have two illusions up. One clone and one phantams.
While clones look exactly like you so they wear the same armor and weapons, phantasms appear purple-ish and transparent and wield their phantsams-specific weapon.
So you actually have some differentiation.
While you’re right that it can be pretty messy during a WB fight, you can differentiate the both by their brightness. Phantasms are a bright-purple blob, clones are usually darker.
Also by the words “Phantasmal —-——” above the phantasm.
I threw an idea somewhere here of having different colored dots for clones and phantasms on your “clone bar”.
If that’s what you mean, then I agree. Would be good QoL change.

My dream scenario would be to have the circles we have right now for clones, and then weapon icons for phantasms. A little sword for the Phantasmal Swordsman, a little pistol for the Phantasmal Duelist, etc.
Don’t be afraid of shattering your Phantasms. More so if your CD are over and you can summon up a new one. And keep in mind a simple rule, unless you got 3 Phantasms out, a clone won’t overwrite one, they’ll overwrite another clone.
