“	Azuma Squad has activated Dummy Beacons now! They've created a disturbance on the radar!	”
–Karin Yuitsuka about Dummy Beacon, in Azuma Squad.[1]

Dummy Beacon (ダミービーコン, Damī Bīkon ^?) is a prototype Optional Trigger.^[2]

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.^[3]

Overview

Since Dummy Beacon can be utilized in rank wars, it can be inferred that it is a prototype approved by HQ,^[2] and as such, it has been developed only recently.

Abilities

Dummy Beacon is a Trigger meant to interfere with the enemy's Radar.^[1] It allows the user to conjure small floating orbs^[3] 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.^[1] The decoys can be remotely controlled by the user,^[4] 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,^[5] although it adds up to a high trion cost.^[1]

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.^[6] The decoys remain active for up to a few minutes before running out of trion,^[7] unless they are switched off by the user before that time.^[8]

Users

There are 6 known users of this Trigger. There seems to be a slight preference towards equipping it in the Sub^{[2][9][10][11]} as opposed to the Main.^[2][12]
