Pure decoy launcher girls

Overview

All pure decoy launcher, their images and list of their character songs.

General info

All 13 (except pale wing) decoy launcher characters are characters from Dream C Club, a date sim game from the same D3 publisher. These weapon are unlocked by purchasing DLC, there are 3 pieces of DLC. (link to DLC at the end of this guide)

Note on voice actor

Pure decoy use “cover” voice actor. For example: Amane, her original CV was “Ami Koshimizu” (Voiced Holo in Spice and Wolf, Matoi Ryuuko in Kill La Kill, Kallen in Code Geass) but in this DLC she is voiced by Minami Shinobu. Understandably, it is too overkill to hire famous CV for such task. With this reason I will omit voice actor for each character below.

Apparently, Minami Shinobu is part of 劇団ドリームクラブ (Gekidan Dream Club) which is official Idol unit by D3 to form a unit of real character from Dream C club. So you could say that she is covered by official voice actor. More information on Gekidan Dream Club[dreamclub-butai.jimdofree.com]. (Looks like the unit’s activity is already stopped in 2017)

Gameplay-wise + Comment

  • Every decoy has very low health of 400 HP. Can deploy 3 pcs per clip. Has long reload time of 240 sec. (not an auto reload like turret, so you have to switch to that weapon to progress)
  • (IMO) Difficult to use in strategic-wise on higher difficulty. Could combine with C70 bomb from ranger, but that still very situational use.
  • Great for raising morale in online mode. Since Air Raider could bring 3 slots, if your team are good then you probably have 1 slot to spare for these :3 Even on inferno.
  • Stick them on vehicle and drive them around.
  • If you look carefully, decoy dance animation actually match the original game. That is some wasted dedicated effort put into making this DLC! Kudo Sandlot!
  • Unfortunately, Dream C is never translated and released for international market. I would like to try too.
  • EDF’s pale wing costume also made crossover to “OneeChanbara” “Dream C Gogo”, game under D3 publisher.
  • Compare to 4.1 the pure launcher in 5 range had drop significantly due to lower initial velocity, may be all those “Special Module” for singing and dancing do weight a lot.
  • They can actually stack on each other.
  • In mission where you fight Erginus you can actually try baiting Erginus into C70s trap with this but it will take sometime since it jump around a bit until it noticed the waifu and try to b**** slap her which will exploded hard on it’s face. It hilarious trust me.
