'''Confusion''' (混乱) is a recurring status ailment in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|series]]. Those affected become disorientated, often being unable to tell friend from foe or wasting a turn. The effect is most often caused by the [[Fuddle]], [[Kafuddle]], and [[Confusion Attack]] abilities.
 
Confusion will always wear off after a number of turns, but players can snap their comrades out of their bewilderment faster by the use of [[Lucidia shard]]s, the [[Sobering Slap]] skill, and the [[Defuddle]] spell. Additionally, armor such as the [[Golden Tiara]] can greatly reduce the chance of becoming confused altogether.
