Blade Clone
Exactly how does it work? Does it add an extra hit that does 140% of my damage or enhances my damage by 140%?
I used normal attacks; there wasn't a third hit and they both did 40k without buffed and buffed. Am I doing something wrong or is it glitched?

Oh wow, you guys make it sound like Blade Clone is the worst Hyper Skill Buff.

You really don't know how Final Attack works, do you? Since it seems like simply saying that the generic Final Attack works like Blade Clone won't get through to you, I'll explain the mechanics behind the skill.
Final Attack is an attacking skill. It has its own damage, hit box, delay/action (though it's ignored now) and mob count. Just because it's a passive skill doesn't mean it isn't. The only difference is that it activates automatically at a certain chance after you use a skill tagged with the Final Attack of your weapon type. But, there is a delay in its activation, so if you, for example, as a Dragon Knight, use Dragon Fury to kill some monsters and then fall down the platform, if Final Attack activates, a monster in your new area that is in range of Final Attacks hit box will be damaged.
So, if a Bowmaster uses a range hyper skill on Hurricane, then their Advanced/Final Attack, which has a range suited to the default shooting range + Archery Mastery, will no longer hit enemies hit by Hurricanes peak range. Similarly, if Hurricane had a fixed range of less than Final Attacks, then Final Attack may hit enemies that, Hurricane doesn't reach. Being its own skill that simply activates at the use of another, it does not have a varying mob count.

As you can see Final Attack doesn't hit the enemies that are too far away when he uses Dark Impale. I will have to find another video to prove the mob count another time. @Edit: it activates at around the half-minute mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn9YIiR85Z0 It's old and KMST, but I can't be bothered. Up to you to believe or not, I guess.

All words past your third one was redundant; that's the typical Final Attack.
No 'transfers' actually occur, though. It's more delayed activation (and since the monster/s you hit no longer exist at that point...).
@richboyliang those 2lines can give you the hit you need to kill a monster faster in dojo ;(
it's a really weak hyper skill imo. the 2 lines of extra damage are nothing compared to the harder hitting lines of your other skills
