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.
