Dummy Beacon

"Azuma Squad has activated Dummy Beacons now! They've created a disturbance on the radar!"

- Karin Yuitsuka about Dummy Beacon

Dummy Beacon (ダミー ビーコン) is a prototype Optional Trigger.

Appearance
Dummy Beacon produces spherical decoys slightly bigger than a baseball. A slit divides it into two hemispheres, one darker than the other. The darker one has a circular opening at the top, whereas the lighter one is crossed by intersecting depressions.

Overview
Since Dummy Beacon can be utilized in rank wars, it can be inferred that it is a prototype approved by HQ, and as such, it has been developed only recently.

Abilities
Dummy Beacon is a Trigger meant to interfere with the enemy's Radar. It allows the user to conjure small floating orbs that mimic their trion signature or, with the assistance of an Operator, a teammate's. They can be activated one by one or all at once. The decoys can be remotely controlled by the user, but their paths can give away their nature if the opponent is allowed to concentrate on them long enough. This can be prevented by creating a large number of them, although it adds up to a high trion cost.

Once deployed, the decoys will remain in existence even if the user switches to another Trigger from the same column (Main or Sub) as Dummy Beacon. The decoys remain active for up to a few minutes before running out of trion, unless they are switched off by the user before that time.

Users
There are 6 known users of this Trigger. There seems to be a slight preference towards equipping it in the Sub as opposed to the Main.
