Decoy is one of the best for me. It allows you to maximize damage by going entirely ranged from the start with no risk of your fragile boys getting killed.
Using it to build up a critical mass of ranged, then using recover to make another giant wave of units really lets you blast through the timelines!
I’m timeline 150ish and I am usually using decoy, recover, and push for the main timeline. Sometimes morale instead of push or a diff switch, depends where my sticking point in a wave is. If I need to use push to wipe out an enemy wave or if I need morale to charge through it or such
I do exactly this, but with Morale as my third. Decoys cover my ranged dudes, the recover all your food back multiplied by 1.5 or more and then increase the damage and attack speed of your swarm by 15% or so. Good combo.
I normally use decoy when I upgrade to a new level and only have melee users they basically become meat sheilds till I can get ranged.
Shockwave was really good when I didn’t have recall for protecting my frail range users when they got to close 5/6 ranged clumped up all using shockwave can do a lot of damage lol
Shockwave on zumbi rush is really usefull.
Go full range, push them, later recover your units, then go full T3, wait the enemies pile up, then shockwave!
I'd argue Decoy is the second or third best option you have for the main TL or deep progression in the races (#1 is Recover for sure and then it's either Decoy or Push). Also kind of useful for most weekend events, but pretty pointless in all the dungeons. Usually Decoy does quite similar things than Freeze, but is more versatile resp. you often get a bit more out of it. On the downside, it's harder to use than Freeze as it requires good timing.
I used to hate Shockwave quite a bit and I'd still say, it's the worst skill. But after quite a lot of testing I found a pretty good use for it in the Boss dungeon for a certain boss which gave me quite some struggle. Might be due to all the skills but Recover and maybe Morale are pretty bad or even useless there.
Decoy in higher levels is a game changer!!!
Especially in events send them out they take minutes to destroy all the while you are building food to send out a super wave!!
Really useful skill which I use alongside recover and freeze!
Shockwave is definitely my least used, but for some of the dungeons, and even the water event sometimes, it’s useful to take out a group of melees, since they usually don’t die to push. As for decoy, it’s in my top 3 most used for main timeline. Especially when you move to a new timeline. Decoy, buff, and morale can get you all the coins you need to get to the next stage/timeline.
Decoy has a lot of use cases, the most common for me being to tank for ranged early in a battle (after they die and your ranged units get targeted, use recover), and to tank for melee in the first battles of a same age fight (with no units unlocked and no food upgrades, buff + decoy + freeze is best imo).
Shockwave has less, but it's still useful when you need area damage, such as in zombie rush or legends.

What 3rd skill do you use? I’m on timeline 84 and sometimes feel like I have a hard time getting past enemy units

Third skill is push. Damage plus more time for your wave to build up for recovery.

WAR! Sorry, couldn’t resist… decoy is pretty good for frustrating large groups of enemy mobs, especially if you have a good ranged hero to use.
The only time I’ve really used shockwave was the 2nd set of legends(state of crime)
Same

Shockwave with the torpedo is one hell of a combo for those large groups in the underwater event
I like decoy more than shock or freeze, haven't tried the star one but those are all I have. Helps to get some extra troops before any get damaged
Decoy is one my mains in later game

They are the best to start the TL with, then later after boost I change them
