Iffy on whether the clones get Indian heritage; it's not quite the same as Shin Shoryuken, as in this case it's an effect being applied to the merc - they're clones of Axl, and Axl had Indian heritagewjen the clones were made (due to the previously mentioned pre/start of battle thing.
At the same time, I don't think the clones could have abilities applied to them. If Dracula had used wacky vampire immunities on Axl then clones were summoned then I wouldnt see them having it.
