Unlike most other sources of [[confused]], the {{name}} allows no [[save]];{{Code Reference|class=FlashbangGrenade|method=Flashbang|name=flashbang}} only a {{favilink|sphynx salt injector}} can prevent the effect entirely.{{Code Reference|class=SphynxSalt_Tonic|method=FireEvent}} Instead, there are several (stackable) ways to reduce the duration of confusion: | |||

Reducing the duration to or below zero this way will, of course, preclude the confused effect. | |||
