Q:

Does shattering an illusion counts as it being killed?

A:

Shattering does not trigger “on death” effects for clones or phantasms. Overwriting them (by summoning a 4th clone or phantasm when you already have 3 out) however does trigger “on death” effects.

As far as I’m aware shattering an illusion doesn’t count as it being killed and doesn’t give you the on death effect.

I am 100% sure that shattering does not count as “death” or a “kill.”

That’s interesting. I didn’t know summoning a 4th will trigger “on death” effects.
Now this makes it easier for me to plan my build and playstyle.

If your target dies, existing Clones will also trigger on-death effects.
