—Libra Clones' self-description |
The Libra Clones is a PsiCorps support power available from the Pandora Hub once it is upgraded with the Psychplug add-on. Also referred to as Sisters, they are deployed via airdrop by a Dybbuk-Transport anywhere on the battlefield.
Official description[]
Libra is almost always accompanied by her, inferior, genetic clones on the battlefield, as they are the only beings that can tolerate her moods and psychic presence without adverse side effects for longer periods of time. The clones act as a diversion or as bait for Libra, being considerably weaker and not possessing the gravity burst.[1] [note 1]
AI behavior[]
The AI will use Libra Clones to target a clear space close to the center of the enemy base. If all enemies are defeated, the AI will target their own base, with the same circumstances.
Appearances[]
“ | They've reached the area with our Bio Tanks. We should have moved those Sisters sooner. | ” |
—Epsilon intel during Operation: Unthinkable |
So far, the support power itself has not appeared in the campaign.
Act Two[]
- A Bio Tank containing a Libra Clone first appears in the Soviet mission Exist to Exit. It is subsequently detonated, causing Libra, who was at the lunar base, to go berserk for the first time.
- In Earthrise, an experimentation site can be seen within the lunar base that contains damaged Bio Tanks and a larger version of it in the middle. Libra and her clones were experimented upon here as a prototype hivemind, but is abandoned after Libra went berserk as previously mentioned.
- In Unthinkable, several Libra Clones in Bio Tanks in the Epsilon Headquarters base were unable to be relocated in time and were destroyed by the advancing Allied forces.
- In Reality Check, the initial objective for Libra is to kill all her clones that were captured by the Allies. After completing this, a cutscene will play where the true nature of the Libra Clones is revealed. To summarize:
- Libra Clones are psychics gathered by Yuri around the world to create a prototype hivemind. The unity of these psychic minds would then create Libra.
- The experimentation site of this prototype hivemind is in the Epsilon moon base. This would be the basis behind the Mental Omega Device and the psychic network of Beacons and Amplifiers.
- Libra Clones are relocated through Utopia Transport Pods and stored in Bio Tanks.
- As a result of the events in Exist to Exit, Libra went berserk, as the Libra Clones and Libra herself are connected in mind and soul.
Special Ops[]
- In Parasomnia, capturing Libra Clones with prototype Chrono Prisons is one of the main objectives. The Libra Clones are inside Bio Tanks, which can be freed by destroying the Bio Tanks. They will attempt to escape the battlefield rather than engage in combat. Notably, the ending report mentions that the Libra Clones are described as being "bizarrely distinct and unique".
Trivia[]
- Currently, there is a remarkable discrepancy with the campaign and skirmish/multiplayer versions of Libra Clones. Contrary to Libra's official description, Libra is not accompanied by her Libra Clones in the campaign, nor are Libra Clones ever controllable by the player. This discrepancy is intentional to hide the Libra Clones' true nature and role in the storyline, especially for those who only read the website and/or played skirmish.
Notes[]
- ↑ This part of Libra's description only applies in the skirmish/multiplayer version of the game, so this is canonically false. See Appearances and Trivia section for more details.
