Top Path

 * 1) Faster Cloning - Creates clones about 15% faster. - $350
 * 2) Even Faster Cloning - Creates clones an additional 10% faster. - $300
 * 3) Creator Clones - Clones are capable of creating Clones. - $1200
 * 4) Efficient Cloning Techniques - The original Cloner creates 3 Clones at a time, and does so about 10% faster. Additionally, its Clones clone themselves faster as well. - $8000
 * 5) Cloneception - Clones created by other Clones can create Clones themselves. This can't be done by the 5th generation of Clones, however. - $12500

Middle Path

 * 1) Focused Energy - Blasts of energy have 4 pierce each. - $250
 * 2) Bigger Blasts - Blasts pop 2 layers per shot, and are bigger. - $550
 * 3) Splitting Shots - Blasts split in a plus formation when they strike a Bloon. - $1050
 * 4) Mega Force Blast - Mega Blast Ability: Shoots a large energy ball that does major damage to all Bloons in its path. Shoots in the direction of the biggest Bloon on screen, moves rather slowly. Has a 45 second cooldown. - $9500
 * 5) Giga Force Blast - All shots from the tower do x4 damage. Giga Blast Ability: The Clones work together with the Cloner to create a solid beam of destruction that lasts for about 5 seconds. Still has a 45 second cooldown. - $16000

Bottom Path

 * 1) Longer Lasting Clones - Clones last about 3 seconds longer than normal. - $300
 * 2) Enchanted Eyes - Cloner and the Clones it creates can see Camo. In addition, the Cloner has longer range. - $400
 * 3) Stopper Clones - Clones will spawn on the track, directly in the way of Bloons. They will still shoot energy blasts, and pop Bloons that hit them, but when enough Bloons hit a Clone it will die. Clones last much longer than usual as well. - $950
 * 4) Volatile Clones - Clones explode when they are hit enough, or when they would normally despawn. The explosion is roughly the same size as the Really Big Bombs, and pops 5 layers off of affected Bloons. - $3500
 * 5) Huge Clones - Clones are about twice as big, and can take about three times as many Bloons before exploding. Their shots do 5 layers of damage, and the explosion created on death is even bigger (x1.5) and pops 10 layers off of Bloons. - $18000

Strengths

 * Relatively cheap
 * Pops Lead without upgrades
 * Pops Camo relatively early
 * Clones work together with Cloner to make its power much greater
 * Mega/Giga Force Blast does pretty good MOAB damage

Weaknesses

 * Only upgrades that can pop Purple are Volatile and Huge Clone's explosions.
 * Not that great late-game
 * Pierce isn't too high, usually counteracted by having more Clones

Trivia

 * Creator got the idea for this tower based off of some stick fight animations.
 * While tower is similar to Engineer, it focuses more on Clones vs general inventions.
 * This tower was originally made for BTDX, but here it was adapted to make it theoretically possible in BTD6.
