Spoiler for 102:

I don't know about that. Firstly, she would need a lot of pieces for that, also, why would AFs even go after the next piece once they've found the first (there should be lots of targets in vicinity since hell-cats were everywhere and I'm sure other living creatures also and we know that they didn't react to youki but sudden movements)? Once they got to the middle what would stop them from going back? Even better, you could make them self destruct by putting these pieces in a circle and make them go around infinitely .
It still wouldn't explain why they didn't choose Riful's real body. While haegar's explanation is sound, closer doesn't necessarily mean stronger. I would think that a scent on a piece of cloth would be much weaker than the scent of a real thing thus you wouldn't be able to smell it from afar. So unless Dee waved it under hellcats noses it would be still strange to me that they didn't go after Dauff.
Besides, we know that AFs were close to her at the end of their "journey" and she was holding this piece of cloth in her hand so I doubt it was like you've said

Maybe Dauff got this huge boost in strength since he is a miniature version of Destroyer and is the most compatible with the rods . Or I was right and he really is a Saiyan .
