Faint is an adjective referring to a not-strong emanation, indication, sign, color etc. Its opposite are powerful, strong,definite

The signal coming from the downed aircraft grew faint after we had been tracking it for an hour through the jungle.

Feint is an noun, referring to any attempt to convince someone else that your main action would be of one sort or one direction when you were only trying to draw them off guard while you prepared an action in another direction.

The general dispatched one troop south, telling them to raise a lot of dust and make noise, so their feint would cause his enemy to commit troops in that direction while he advanced with the main body of forces from the northeast to launch an attack.
