Confuse.
Well, we might think this is a bad idea but here is what i thought

When a knight gets Confused, He keeps on rotating and moves on directions on its own(Suggested by Juances)
(For example, if you press the right/D key Your knight may move on different directions, Making him vulnerable, But still, you can attack)

The confuse status will have different vials for different tiers, ofcourse

And about weapons, I don't know, this was just a status idea :p.

This is the logo of the 'Confuse' status

(P.S I know it's the Uzumaki logo of Naruto :P But just make it yellow)

Also, When he gets confused some birds(snipes) will run around his/her head.

Any thoughts?

Muddle

This what I thought 'Muddle' would have been like, had it been an actual status. Either way a confuse status could ensue plenty of hilarity and frustration alike. +1

If it existed, I'd make a Muddle/Confuse set just for the sake of trolling LD.

Meaning I would actually bother with LD.

@Doctah

xD Confusing Monsters would be epic too, As they would walk in the opposite direction, making them easy to kill while soloing ( I guess )

I think they'd behave like any other enemy, just inflict the status via an attack.

At the same time I feel like the status would be added onto monsters' attacks as opposed to being a Stratum. Kinda like how enemies have stun along with their status (IE: An Electreant inflicting Shock and Stun).

Bind regular movement to wasd keys.
Have a 'confused' binding using... rdfg (D key can be reused since it gets flipped out)

It should randomly scramble directions or constantly rotate them or just move your knight on it's own.

Thanks for the Idea Ju

What it should do is scramble

What it should do is scramble the 8 movement commands, the attack and shield commands, and the weapon switch commands (for a total of 16 commands) every "tick" of the status (like fire's and shock's ticks), and if the knight would otherwise be idle (i.e. the player is not using any commands) then the knight should wander around aimlessly, randomly shielding, switching weapons, and charging/attacking. With friendly fire on.

Thats funny but way too evil. Only a handfull of enemies shall have access to such attacks like curse.
Or add drawbacks.

Say a 'cyclone' sword that spins like a caibur charge, only longer and 10x as fast. Can confuse enemies and owner.

OM nom nom

it should be face-palm where the knight repeatedly smacks him/herself in the face for 10 seconds. It would be like shock. hehehehe

@Little Ju

Far too evil. In lockdown you can find out the blitz/fov charge will be useful when you confuse a person :D

@Lezly That looks too comical xD But why would someone facepalm if they were confused? :P

Have taking damage shave time

Have taking damage shave time off the duration, 1 second per HP. Clarity through pain and all that.

Confusion weapon

A weapon with a charge attack that deals confusion to enemies and the wielder sounds cool and balanced. Someone using it for the first time would be hard to use, but after practice Confusion would be quite easy to overcome and easy to use(sort of like Catalyzers). So basically, a Gran Faust charge but safer.

Lack of explaination

I would like you to describe it more.

How long? How fast does the enemy rotate? How will it cause damage?

Wed, 12/12/2012 - 16:54

Lezlyblaze

maybe its like stun, no damage

see subject

Skyguarder

I think he wants to make the enemy dizzy.

Also, choosing new weapons for the new status "Confuse" makes no difference. Your just making a effect to their movement. You can already spin around and rotate at the same time. So there is no need for a confuse effect on a new weapon since your just controlling their movement actions.

Processing Thoughts of You Always

Alternate idea: remove ability to rotate knight by using your mouse. Congratulations, you can now no longer face any other direction other than a compass point, good luck aiming at stuff.

Processing Thoughts of Why Auereate Prosecesses Thoughts of you.

@Benights Perhaps. Btw Time won't be too long since it seems like a strong effect
@Aureate What about Automatically Auto-Aiming backwards? :3
