Confusion is a status in Final Fantasy X-2. Confusion causes the afflicted character to use random actions on enemies and allies alike. It wears off on its own. Confused characters appear with two spinning stars above their head.
Confuse can be used to learn some Blue Bullet skills from enemies that they would not use on the player otherwise, like Mighty Guard, but is a highly hazardous ailment when contracted by the party as they may waste the player's valuable items during it; it is best removed the soonest even if it does wear off on its own, such as with a simple physical attack against the afflicted.

Enemies[]
Bosses are immune to Confusion (the exceptions being Garik Ronso & Ronso Youth, Leblanc & Logos & Ormi in Luca, Paine & Rikku, and Yaibal), as are many regular enemies, especially during their Oversoul forms. Machina enemies, bombs, ghosts, and elementals are immune to Confusion. Enemies at the Fiend Arena tend to be immune to Confusion. Many humans faced as regular enemies, not bosses, are susceptible to Confusion.
