I want to explain this OOC. First I'll explain clones in the sense of our RP and the battle rules involving them as there are applications of clone techniques. Now, a copy/paste from the Battle Rules thread which you can find

➔ Clones of
any kind may only be used
three times in battle and there will be a maximum of
4 clones created at a time.
Lets go through that a little. So of course there are multiple kinds of clones. Soon you'll be learning the Lightning Clone which is as it sounds - a lightning clone variant capable of using lightning related techniques. We've seen Kakashi use it quite a few times throughout his battles in the manga. There are some other variants as well. Such as the Water Clone, Shadow Clone, etc. However those are for different training sessions.
Anyways, the next point is the "three times per battle" point. So this is pretty self explanatory. This means you can use any clone technique a maximum of three times. So you can use the lightning clone once and shadow clone twice and you'll have reached your limit. This is A LOT. You'll probably never find yourself exceeding that. Clones are quite powerful in their own right but also quite dangerous as your chakra does get spread out quite thin. So I wouldn't worry about using clones very often. The next point is about four clones being created at a time. Again, pretty self explanatory. Four clones max per application means 12 clones total. There is only one way to exceed this amount and that is by using the forbidden ranked shadow clone technique which creates 8 shadow clones. That however has its own drawbacks and is quite dangerous. I also think only Naruto bios can use it so I'd have to check lol.
Anyways, before we get into the technical realm of clones, do you have any questions?
