Confused is a Status Effect in Nioh 2.

Confused Description

A Confusion-based status ailment. Increases the damage received from attacks, and also slows the recovery of Ki. For afflicted yokai, barring some exceptions, Ki recovery will be halted completely.

Confused Effect

• Increases the damage received from all attacks by 50.0%
• Human enemies will have their recovery significantly slowed down, similar to the Lifesteal Talisman effect.
• To apply to an enemy, you must apply any two of  the following status effects (Purity and Corruption are mutually exclusive):
  • Purified
  • Corrupted
  • Saturated
  • Scorched
  • Electrified
• Applying a new elemental effect will extend the duration of Confusion

Confused Notes

• While an enemy is confused, you cannot build accumulation for the element that is on them already.
  
  • Because of this, it may be wise not to immediately and repeatedly confuse an enemy you can not kill if you rely on a certain elemental effect to be active for your build.
  • While Purity and Corruption do cancel each other out, this can be used to your advantage on a confused enemy. If you confused them with Purity or corruption, you can use the other to extend the duration of confusion while also removing the previous effect, allowing you to use it to increase confusion duration and remove the other effect and continue this cycle. This is particularly easy to use with Guardian Spirit Skills that apply Corruption or Purity while also using a weapon that gives the opposite effect.
