| Author | confused about confusion! |
|---|
During a fight in portal of time, i heard a player say that confusion only works on shooters. Now, this is nothing to do with what the description says, but the guy seemed to be really sure of himself.. And put a doubt in my mind. So wrong information or player's mistake?
Anyone got a definite answer? |
| it also reduce retaliation damage |
Confusion works on all creatures except Undead, Mechanical and Elemental units.
The spell makes target stack of enemy creatures forget what they are doing on the battlefield. Part of the stack's creatures do not retaliate or shoot.
This means a certain number of shooters in a stack (based on % of total shooters in stack) will not attack when they shoot thereby reducing the damage dealt. Also, when you attack a creature and it retaliates, the same number of creatures won't retaliate, thereby reducing retaliation damage as well. |
Yes, for shooters it reduce the amount of units can shoot , but for melle units it also reduce the amount of units can retaliate.
The reduction is the % of the confusion power. |
| Confusion reduces the damage of shooters for their range attacks as well as the damage all troops deal with their retaliation (including melee troops). |
| ok on that, the question is: is a melee stack that performs an attack affected by confusion at all? |
| No. Only affects retaliation strike. |
Genies cast 55% confusion on a stack of 100 Wardens for 1000 turns. (They're Abu-Bakir's Genies.)
Warden shoot at Golems, only 45 of these wardens shoot.
Wardens get attacked by Golems, so that there are only 50 Wardens left. 50*.45=22.5, rounded down in 22. Only 22 of these Wardens retaliate.
The next turn,Wardens attack the Golems. All 50 Wardens attack.
Now, Grammith casts 70% confusion on 100 Liches for 50 turns.
Liches shoot at Patriarchs. All 100 Liches shoot.
Magma Dragons attack the Liches so that there are only 70 Liches left. All 70 Liches retaliate.
Liches melee Veterans. All 70 Liches attack. |
Part of the stack's creatures do not retaliate or shoot.
Stack's ranged and retaliation damage is reduced by an amount depending on the caster's Darkness magic talent level.

The player who said otherwise is wrong. Unless you asked him if it affects when a melee guy is attacking (and not retaliating). |
*Hallion91 casts Dispersion on guyb*
*Confusion removed completely from guyb* |
*Hallion91 casts Dispersion on guyb*
*Confusion removed completely from guyb*
It should be noted that it is a duration spell, so it can be removed by dispersion. Unlike Disruption Ray. |
