The simple katana and some swords all have the power up effect

I’ve been trying to save up for better armor but higher levels seem to give you more gems and this is the last level in an area so I want to finish it.

I cannot figure out how to beat Clash of Clones. I’ve tried it multiple ways and it still won’t work. This is literally all I have:

```python
enemies = hero.findEnemies
while True:
    enemyIndex = 0
    while enemyIndex < len(enemies):
        enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
        enemyIndex += 1

```

The thing is I’ve already read those and using the code feels like cheating. I want to figure it out but I’m not sure what type of method would work.

Actually, it depends on your creativity, and all you need is to find an **advantage** over the enemy clone, and since the clone can only do, `attack()` so find something that the opponent can’t do that you can do. 😉

My game won’t allow me to not have a sword, which is what I was going to try to do to take away her attack methods since she’s the second most powerful player on the field.

Yeah, they patched that trick, you need to do **something** that helps eliminate the opponent, the emperor’s gloves are the most effective here with the invisibility ring
