'''Fuddle''' is a spell in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]]. It has a 100% chance to confuse a group of enemies, barring resistance, and costs 5 mp.
'''Fuddle''' is a recurring debilitating spell in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}.
 
It has a chance to [[Confusion|confuse]] a single enemy in its debut, before being upgraded to target a group of monsters in {{Dragon Quest V}}. It is the diminutive form of [[Kafuddle]] and is often learned by [[Mage]]s.

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
==={{DQ2}}===
Magi and Sages will learn Fuddle at level 27. The spell targets only a single enemy, somewhat limiting it's usefulness compared to [[Snooze]] and [[Dazzle]]. If a party member is afflicted by the spell, they can be snapped out of it by striking them; this safety feature is limited to ''DQIII'', however.
Fuddle itself does not appear in {{II}} per se, but the [[confusion]] [[status effect]] is present as one of the results of [[Hocus Pocus]].
 
==={{DQ2HD}}===
Fuddle is learned by the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] at level 24. It costs 6 MP and has an accuracy of 60%, confusing one monster for 2~5 turns. Once the [[moon sigil]] is obtained Fuddle will be able to go [[haywire]], at the same rate as normal attacks can land a critical hit. Note that the accuracy is slightly misleading as several non-boss monsters are programmed to be vulnerable to the spell if they are not protected by [[Bounce]] or [[Magic Barrier]], making the practical accuracy 75%.
 
==={{DQ3}}===
Fuddle debuts as a proper spell in {{III}}, with [[Mage]]s and [[Sage]]s learning it at Level 27. The spell targets only a single enemy, somewhat limiting its usefulness compared to [[Snooze]] and [[Dazzle]]. If a {{Party 3}} member is afflicted by the spell, they can be snapped out of it by striking them; this safety feature is limited to {{III}}, however.


===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
The enemies [[Leger-de-Man|leger-de-man]], [[goodybag]], [[lump mage]], [[lump shaman]], [[hocus chimaera]], [[Baramos]], and [[Soul of Baramos]] can use this spell against the party.
Fuddle is learned by [[Borya]] at level 30, and has the same range as before. The spell is more useful than in ''III'', as only a handful of enemies have an immunity--even into the final areas and bonus dungeon.


===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
==={{DQ3HD}}===
Fuddle's range has increased to affect a group of enemies now, greatly improving the spell's usability all the way to the end game. The only drawback to the spell is it's scarcity, with only two human characters being able to learn it.
Fuddle is learned by Mages and Sages at level 27 if their wisdom exceeds 64 points. It costs 6 MP and has a 60% chance to confuse one for for 2~3 turns before resistance is applied. Note that the accuracy is slightly misleading as several non-boss monsters are programmed to be vulnerable to the spell if they are not protected by [[Bounce]] or [[Magic Barrier]], making the practical accuracy 75%.
 
==={{DQ4}}===
Fuddle is learned by [[Borya]] at Level 30, and has the same range as before. The spell is more useful than in {{III}}, as only a handful of enemies have an immunity - even into the final areas and the [[bonus dungeon]], {{Fungeon 4}}.
 
The enemies [[fuddlestick]], [[damselfly]], [[pocus poppet]], and [[axolotl]] can use this spell against the party.
 
==={{DQ5}}===
Fuddle's range has increased to affect a group of enemies now, greatly improving the spell's usability all the way to the end game.
