Fuddle Dance — dragonquest

Fuddle Dance is a recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series.

Description

A dance that attempts to confuse an enemy group. Because the dance costs no MP, it uses a weaker accuracy table than its spell equivalent, having a range of 50%, 25%, 10%, 0% depending on the target's resistance. It will still keep the afflicted bewildered for 6~9 turns, however.

Appearances

Dragon Quest IV Remakes

Only appearing in the remakes, it is used by Foo Yung in battle, though it is incredibly dangerous as the dance targets the entire party instead of just one character like the spell.

Dragon Quest VI

Making its debut, it is learned by advancing to rank 4 of the Dancer vocation, and level 5 for recruited Sluggernauts, though only in the SNES version. It costs 0 MP to use, and is also used by the Grrrgoyle, Cutterflies, and the First Test in battle.

Dragon Quest VII

Acting the same as in VI, it is once again learned in the Dancer vocation, but one must advance to rank 7 of said vocation, while Aishe has the skill by the time she joins the party. It costs 0 MP to use once again, and is also used by Monarchaeopteryxs, Oligarchaeopteryxs, Trickstars, and Discombombulators in battle. In the Reimagined remake, it is learned the same way as in previous versions of the game. It costs 8 MP to use for the first time since XI, and is also used by the Vicious Fandangow in the Al-Balad Region.

An enemy only skill, it is used by Tap devils and Night foxes in battle.
