Confuse is a status in Final Fantasy VI. The affected acts at random with inverted targeting where he/she will attack allies and heal enemies. Confused characters will never use Item, Revert, Throw, Control, Slot, Leap, Defend, Summon, or Possess. Any commands entered but not yet executed before the status occurred will continue normally, but with reversed targeting. This status also prevents the user from activating his/her Desperation Attack.
Confused monsters use the command list that appears when Relm controls them, which frequently includes abilities not in their normal battle script. Attackers will have a 25% bonus to hit rate against those affected.
Confuse can be removed via any physical attack that hits, and disappears at the end of battle. Those afflicted spin with a green swirl above their head in battle.
