The third pet can be pretty much anything. Something with aquatic damage is good because of the 25% damage buff from Acid Rain.

TL:DR of Clone Dance: throw down a Cyclone and then buff it with stuff like Rain Dance.

The primary goal here is to set up the Cyclone. After that you can either use Ghostly Bite or directly swap to the Jademist Dancer.

I wouldn't recommend keeping it in the fight beyond those two rounds, because you may lose buff time on the Cyclone with your JMD. Also swapping out too late could prevent getting a 2nd Cyclone out.

JMD
The JMD synergizes very well with Cyclone. So do its own moves with themselves. Rain Dance should be used when there are at least two round of Cyclone remaining (core idea of the strategy).

After that you have to decide between single target damage or a cleave. Most of the times I'd recommend to use Acid Rain first, since it will buff the damage of Steam Vent.

#3
This time I decided not to suggest a specific pet for the 3rd slot. As with most Clone Dance teams the 3rd pet doesn't play a role in the strategy and is just there to clear what is left of the enemy team. Try to find one that fits you the most.

Hey guys, great website, thanks a lot for all the work you do. I've got a question about CloneDance teams in particular if you don't mind: How do you choose which pet to use as your clone setter? By power, to have Cyclone, your main source of dps, do as much damage as possible? By survivability (e.g. Blighthawk for UD racial), so it can set Clone as often as possible throughout a match? By type synergy with your Rain Dance pet (should be a Jademist Dancer in 99,9% of all cases if I understood it right :P )? Or am I missing something completely?

Thanks in advance!

sorry for the late response...

so you pretty much almost summed it up. there are multiple reasons to pick one cyclone pet over another and often times it comes down to personal preference. in most cases the cyclone pet either is great as an opener pet (fast with some sort CC e.g. shore butterfly) or it can deal a lot of damage in a relatively short time (primarily also in form of cleave e.g. voidglower).
it also is important that the cyclone pet works well in combination with the buff pet since this isn't always the case
