So, since ICE* recently made a post with how Breeze Dancer's clones are laid out before her in a Naruto-Roshi-Bee lineup, I thought I can provide you guys with how clones/puppets/etc. are laid out in general The pictures below show the priority of clone spawning and it what order clones will spawn according to where the clone spawning unit stands.

I hope this helped some of you guys out there to create certain lineups with clones/puppets/etc. as protection. @ICE* consider putting this in your Guide collection maybe xD
