Confuse

Confuse , also known as Panic, is an ailment in the series.
==Appearances==
* Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne as Panic
* Shin Megami Tensei V
* Persona 5 / Royal
* Persona 5 Strikers
==Effect==
Users inflicted with Confuse will be unable to act on their own volition. Depending on the game this effect may be guaranteed or only have a 50% chance of occurring each time they are given an order. If a confused unit fails an order, depending on the game they may simply waste their turn being "dumbfounded", throw away money, throw away an item, or if it's a player-controlled demon they may return to the player's stock.
===Shin Megami Tensei V===
In Shin Megami Tensei V, users afflicted with Confusion have a chance of ignoring orders. They will either do nothing or attack allies. If they are the only member in their respective faction, they will attack themselves.
===Persona 5 / Royal===
In Persona 5, users inflicted with Confuse will be unable to act on their own volition. Each turn, they will either throw away money or throw away an item. If it is a player ally, can also use a healing item; if an enemy, can also do nothing.
The item dropped by enemies is always within the overall scope of negotiation items that can be dropped by all individual Shadows.
Users inflicted with Confuse are vulnerable to Technical damage from Psychic skills.
In Persona 5 Royal, Confuse has a countdown timer of 1 and thus will expire at the start of the user's second turn. It will also be instantly healed if attacked in any form. If Knowing the Heart has been read, Confuse is also vulnerable to Technical damage from Wind and Gun skills.
In Royal, if the user simultaneously Downs an enemy and gets Confused (from a reflected Mind Slice), the user will still get a One More but they are subject to Confused behaviors. However, due to a glitch, if this attack happens after a Baton Pass, the user will be able to act freely during the One More even while being Confused. In either case, an irregular Hold Up will be initiated if all enemies are Downed after this.
Confused Shadows cannot be negotiated with.
