Eversmoking Pot and Blind Fighting is pretty fun. This combo does indeed work though. I suggest 1 level in Artificer, then 2 levels twilight Cleric, then wizard bladesinger personally.
1 level in Artificer divided by 2 rounded UP is still 1 level for spell slots. Also you get their whole spell list (many wizard spells) without needing a spell book to cast them. Oh, and CON/INT proficiency for the win.
That is how I would think it would work too. The arrow or bolt coming out of a sphere of darkness should have advantage logically. But if what I've read, that the source is you, not the echo and not being in darkness yourself you would not have advantage. I think darkness on the echo would still at least give attacks against it disadvantage.
This is a previous question: "Q: If a Knight would have disadvantage on an attack, would the attack from the Echo also have disadvantage? A: Yes, since the Echo is not really attacking. It is the Knight that is attacking, the attack only appears to come from the Echo’s position."
I was thinking of using minor illusion to make a bush for cover but still able to see through, or a wall with a loophole to see through giving you cover I would think.
Q: Can you cast Darkness and Light on an Echo? How does this affect the Knight's attacks and attacks made on the Echo?
A: Both Darkness and Light can be cast on an Echo. The Knight's attack and perception are from the Knight, so the Knight would not have advantage or disadvantage on the attack based on the Darkness. However the Darkness would give disadvantage on attacks against the Echo.
I'm looking at doing something similar but finding RAW, Sentinel allows you to "use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature." It doesn't give you an opportunity attack, sadly.
Unless this has been officially ruled as an OA, which would make me happy.

"For the duration, you can use your spellcasting ability instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of melee attacks using that weapon."
The key word there is CAN. Don't nerf my STR based Fighter / Cleric dueling PaM if he wants to goodberry for 4HP a berry and Shillelagh it up. 😆
