Changes / Balance:
- Added a LAN mode (beta) : play with your friends in cooperation against the AI. To play this mode, you need to be connected on the same network. One device can host, and the others can join. This is still in beta and there might be some synchronisation issues. Because of this mode, the app now requires more permissions.

- Active Skill : creates a clone at current location
- Passive Skill : everytime a unit is defeated by the Replica or a clone of himself, it will be cloned with full HP and help the replica
- Special Weapon : magic swords. Very strong against units that have a lot of HP.
More informations about The Replica are available in the hero selection screen.
