Boss dps mechanics question on Vesper's host

[SPIDERna]

Do I have to dps the boss first one when I go up or kill the clones, and which clone drops the core ?

None. You go up look for the blue glowing clones. Look at the number in their name. there should be 2 the first time you go up. Once you do that return down. kill the tech priest and get teleported up. Separate the boss and get 2 more blue servitors write their number down. You should have 4 numbers. Shoot those 4 numbers boss will spawn. Separate him again then dps.

If they're asking about a 'core', they are not talking about second encounter

From my experience you only need to kill one of the clones, and can spend all the rest of your ammo on actual boss. Just kill a clone after 30s or so of damage and you should get it, not 100% sure on what actually causes it to drop.
