How does confusion affect enemy AI? - Assorted Map Pieces

So, there are a few weapons in Terraria that give the enemies confusion. if the player gets confusion, then their controls are inverted. I'm wondering how the confusion works for the enemy's AI since they don't have button controls.



Best Answer

Confusion causes Enemy AI's to move away from the player and mobs with ranged attacks cannot shoot them at you. Intrestingly, 70% of mobs are immune to the confused debuff, and including all the bosses. Some of the other mobs that actually apply this to the player are Giant bat, Light Mummy, Clown, Brain Scrambler, Brain of Cthulu and Creeper.
