MIRRORED PERSONA
Target: Self Duration: I FV: L – 2
You can create a proxy persona that looks and
acts identical to you in the Matrix. To differentiate
between the technomancer and the proxy, opponents
must succeed on a Matrix Perception test
with a threshold of the number of hits rolled when
threading this form.
If they fail to notice, opponents target the proxy
with a Matrix Action. The player rolls a defense test
as normal. If they succeed, the proxy disappears,
and technomancer character takes no negative effect.

Wait/What? They attack the image AND if the Techno succeeds there is no negative effect? Doesn't that normally happen if you succeed at a Defense Test without a fake image? Am I misreading this?

The wording is a bit ambiguous, what I believe they meant to say was that if the Attacker fails to differentiate between the Technomancer and his Proxy, then the Attacker targets the Proxy with a Matrix Action. The Technomancer rolls a defense test as normal. If the Attacker succeeds, the Proxy disappears, and Technomancer takes no negative effect. If the Technomancer’s defense test succeeds, the Proxy remains because the attack missed.

It's just badly structured... "If they succeed..." obviously refers to the opponents.

"Duration: I" without telling us how long the mirror image exists is more problematic.
