the two snipers are no longer 'identical', would be my guess. If you were to use rambling fatebender on the second sniper to also be a kobold, I'd expect it to work (but would be a stupid use of two rambling fatebenders!).

Following on this logic, the reason why it works with Arc Warden is that it duplicates itself before the kobold function kicks in, so it always has an identical kobold to pair itself with.

This sounds somewhat logical, but I don't think this is the issue. Even if the snipers were not identical, the Meepos themselves should at least create a clone.

I just think this might be a bug, I've ran into this issue with Kobold Fatebender

Don't think that's the case - the text says something along the lines that every kobold needs to have a similar kobold on the board in order for the duplication to happen. So the kobold-sniper doesn't have another kobold-sniper, stopping all other kobolds from duplicating.

Similarly if you have one meepo and one Arc Warden, the Arc Warden doesn't duplicate (into a 3rd warden - the 2nd is part of his skill, not part of the kobolt trait)

I find kobolds and aquirs tricky to use due to their conditions.

Better luck next time.
