[Gameplay] Shadow Clones hit jumping Ancient Statue

[TFWolf55]

[Version 0.710b]While grinding for final card, something was amiss with the hits on an Ancient Statue.
It appears one can hit an ancient statue with shadow clones while in single player. Your first swing doesn't connect, yet the shadows hit anyway. Curious. Only tested with Lv. 10 Shadow Clone after area completion.

I believe this is possible with all enemies and has been around a while, but I have no idea whether it's posted before or what to search for so

I don't think it's a bug, really. The clones are basically a moving AoE that is created in the place where you swing, so the first swing doesn't necessarily need to connect for them to work. Since the shadows are following you, it's very well possible to hit bushes and barrels with it as well, without landing the first hit.

It's a bug if that's not an intended functionality, and it does give you a miniscule increased hit area where you would otherwise have missed with your main swing.
