Yuri clone

Borrowing from the ancient adage "If you want something done right, do it yourself," Yuri created many clones of himself to carry out his will across the globe. Although they were genetically identical to the original Yuri, Yuri clones were still not as powerful as the original, Yuri Prime.

Yuri clones were the basic psychic infantry of Yuri. Each one was capable of mind-controlling almost any single enemy unit. Furthermore, in a desperate situation, a Yuri clone could send out a massive psychic shockwave, killing almost any infantry unit within the radius of the blast.

Yuri clones were used to capture enemy units. These units could then either be used to fight or to be recycled in a Grinder. This was of particular use against enemy transport units, as the units inside would also be recycled. Also, a mind-controlled infantry unit could be sent into a Bio Reactor, where the enemy infantries biology would serve as an ehancement to the power supply of Yuri's base.

Yuri clones could only mind-control one unit at a time, making them vulnerable to groups of enemy units. Furthermore, some units could not be controlled by Yuri clones. Chrono Miners, War Miners, and Slave Miners could not be mind-controlled, as the first two, being deemed vital by their sides, were psi-proofed, and the slave miner being psychic itself. Furthermore, Boris and Tanya were immune to mind-control, as they had been trained to resist it. Attack dogs were also immune, as they were bred and trained to be single minded and utterly loyal to their original masters. The Soviet Terror drones were also immune, being purely robotic. The Allies possessed Robot tanks to counter psychics. Furthermore, other psychics, and units already under the influence of mind-control, were immune to the Yuri clone's projected will.

Behind the Scenes
The Imperial commando Yuriko Omega's special ability is very similar to the Yuri psychic shockwave.
