Confusion

Anato has Discord, a skill with a 100% confuse rate.

Confusion is a status infliction that causes target Vivosaurs to do things of its own will while the player has no command over it. It is useful in stratagies that involve the enemy's Vivosaur to not do as planned. Possible outcomes when a Vivosaur is confused is that they use any skill they have (includes attacks and support skills), and going to the escape zone. They will always switch out for the Vivosaur on the top support zone. If the Vivosaur doesn't switch out, then the confusion will wear out in two turns.

There are two types of confusion. The first, and more common, is Standard Confusion. Standard Confusion  is indicated by a swirl with a red background. The other type is Super Confusion, indicated by a gold background and lasting two turns instead of one.

In Fossil Fighters: Champions, when a vivosaur is hit with a Super Confuse attack, the Vivosaur can actually attack its teammates and itself.

Trivia

• If Gold Confuse causes a Vivosaur to use an FP-stealing skill on an ally and it succeeds, the game will remove the usual amount of FP before putting it right back. [1]
