Thank you tylemotoki for your quick response. I would greatly appreciate it if you could get with the devs to see if they would patch this exploit. It makes you not want to team up with weaker players in db or war if all they have to do is attack your teammates clone and the splash damage kills you in the process. Something they couldn't otherwise do.

My stats don't matter with the splash damage. That's the whole point of my post. The splash damage is bypassing my my defense, resistance, injury, etc. and is reducing my health by 80% of the damage it does to the clone with no consideration or exception to my stats. The Naruto in question was fully buffed from gnw madara, founder Madara, and earth main shield buff. When he attacks me (both normal attack and mystery), minimal damage was done to my team. I beat the lineup two straight times with little damage done to my team. But the 3rd fight he attacked my teammate and the splash damage instantly killed my pos 1 and 4. That tells me that my stats aren't being equated into the formula from the splash damage, or else it would be even less damage than the direct attacks he did on my team, given the fact that it is 20% less damage.

As for your your other point, that is what I stated in my 2nd post. The splash damage makes you not what to help the weaker accts out with bonds and makes you want to solo your land in war. I have no issue losing to a better or stronger team, but for my opps to beat me this way, knowing that they couldn't do it any other way, it kinda gets under my skin a little.
