Yes, Mindy copies Ancient Hatred.

Mindy copies a crusader for 30 seconds every 15 seconds.

it copies it..but does it stack ?... lets say my angel have +80% speed bonus and Mindy copies it with a +100% skill bonus
would it bring my new speed to 180%...

or only 100% since the system would only took whatever is higher %

dunno if its more clear that way

@ Asmodeus: You can think of that 100% as a x2 multiplier.

So if Mindy is copying Baenarall's 80% Ancient Hatred, x2 would mean Mindy's version is doing 160%.

So you would be getting the 80% bonus from Baenarall and the 160% bonus in your spawn speed number.

Here are the details of Mindy's Mimic ability...

-She can only copy UP TO two other crusaders at a time. If she has three crusaders next to her, she will only mimic two of them, but which two she mimics changes periodically, as the "Mimic" skill chooses a random crusader next to her, not the same crusaders every time.

-Mindy will mimic ALL formation abilities of a crusader, not just one per crusader. On a crusader's ability list, circle abilities only affect the crusader that has it, or is a "buffs global DPS" ability, triangles are active abilities (like Click-o-Rama), and diamond abilities are formation abilities.

-When Mindy copies a formation ability, she treats it like her own ability. For example, Chiyome has a formation ability that buffs her own DPS based on how many columns are in front of her. If Mindy mimics that ability, it will buff MINDY'S DPS, not Chiyome's. However, if Mindy copies an ability like Penny the Park Planner's "Troupe Trooper", which increases the DPS of crusaders in the same column as her, Mindy would benefit from it because, obviously, Mindy is in the same column as Mindy.

-Mimicked abilities act as their own unique buff. As Erika said, if Mindy's Mimic ability copies 100% of Baenarall's formation abilities, then Baenarall's speed and damage buffs (Ancient Hatred and The Old Guard) are applied to the formation from BOTH crusaders at once. Depending on the abilities, this can change how the formula works. Speed buffs are additive, so Baenarall's 80% speed boost and Mindy's mimicked 80% speed boost just get added, for 160% speed boost. DPS buffs are multiplicative, though, so if your base DPS is 10 (keeping numbers nice and low for the sake of ease) and Baenarall's "The Old Guard" is currently giving 100% more DPS, then that is a x2 multiplier to DPS, meaning your DPS goes up to 20, but THEN Mindy's mimicked version gets thrown in for the same x2 multiplier, bringing your DPS up to 40.

Simply, when Mindy mimics an ability, the game treats the mimicked version like it is HER ability. Her mimicking a speed buff is only additive because speed buffs are additive.

If she mimics a DPS buff, it is multiplicative, like any other DPS buff.

If she mimics a healing ability, her healing stacks additively on top of other healing effects.

If she mimics a defensive buff (like Dark Gryphon's), I'm pretty sure that is additive (up to 95% damage reduction), but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If she mimics a drop buff (Billy Smithsonian's "Act of Congress"), it triggers separately and multiplicatively. Meaning every kill triggers Billy's and Mindy's versions separately, and if both trigger, it works the same way as DPS (drop x 2 x 2).

If she mimics Area of Effect abilities (Merci's "Deflect Evil"), it works the same as healing, additive stacking together.

If she mimics a gold buff (Detective Kaine's "A-Hah!"), it is multiplicative.

She can also mimic the abilities of a crusader even if they do not currently have access to them. They must be bought before she can mimic them, but if an objective takes away their formation abilities (like being turned into a frog, or an adjacent escort character disables abilities), she can mimic their abilities even as they, themselves, cannot use the abilities.
