    Is anyone using Decoy as actual Decoy and not as Limited Camouflage when playing Helots?

    I know Cadmus uses Decoy to fix positioning.

    Whenever I face Helots, they're always Limited Camo because it's harder to deal with. Decoy is a match made in heaven for AD troops, though (as long as the initial landing is valid)

    Depends on the helot, decoy has uses particularly for the red fury and msr profiles. Essentially putting down a tr bot equivalent in 3 spots on the map in addition to the jammers other helos and the kamau msr puts your opponwnt in a nasty position

    Camo is just way better on helots. Even if my opponont aces all his rolls he needs 2 orders to remove them. I don't want my opponent to know what rangebands are bad for me. 360Visor. I can delay as a marker against an enemy camo marker if he shoots someone else i get normal rolls in his face. Decoy disappears if i move. Limited camo allows me to keep the state while repositioning. Camo state allows me to move the helot in an amazing ARO position while protecting him that turn from incoming fire.

    I would maybe place a single Helot in decoy if i play against Yuan Yuans or something similar so my enemy does not know where it is safe to land.

    My experiences align with the post above. Specific +1 on using Decoy vs an opponent likely to make AD rolls.
