Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Decoy Flare

The Faunus's reliance on stealth and illusion magic has caused no shortage of headaches to enemy commanders. The threat of DSDF Genista tanks or enemy Thieves appearing from nothing has so distracted many enemies that, in their scramble to gather countermeasures, they forget that sometimes, the simplest tricks work the best.

A decoy drop is a simple flare placed in the enemy's area of operations which, given the Faunus usage of flares to signal other attacks and operations, has forced many enemies to divert patrols from a vital area to counter-attack the inevitable assault that never comes, or more to the point, forces troops to a more defensible position, leaving a valuable stretch of land for the taking.
