It's current state is quite awful. For all intents and purposes, it is worse than Loki's Decoy.
The only use it has is to double Profit Taker credits reward.
It's breath attack has no damage, no status, no spread or punchtrough and pitiful range that doesn't scale.
For some reason it can't follow you and you need a whole ass augment for a semblance of that. Even then it doesn't work properly and feels awful to use.
Please just make Effigy's Breath an exalted weapon we can mod, give it at least 30m acquisition/attack range and some kind of AoE/spread. The augment should just let it follow you.
