Riot

Riot is a confuse weapon special. It is the second lowest tier of confusion specials (2★). Riot weapons have a chance to Confuse their targets.

Damage

Riot weapon special attacks deal 0.67x the damage of a normal attack. The chance to Confuse monsters depends on Enemy ESP.

Rarity	Special Name	Power
2★	Riot	44%

Confuse Chance = ((Power) - (Enemy ESP)) * (1 - Special Reduction) * (Unit Boost)

• Androids receive a 30% boost to the activation rate of all confusion specials on Ultimate difficulty. This value can be added directly to values in the Power column below (Riot has a power of 74%).
• Special Reduction is as follows (See also: List of weapons with reduced specials):
  • 0.5 for Swords, Daggers, Partisans
  • 0.67 for Slicers, Mechguns, Shots
  • 0 for unreduced weapons
• Unit Boost is as follows:
  • 1.5 if either V501 or V502 are equipped
    • These stack with the android boost, but not with each other
  • 1 if neither are equipped

Bosses cannot be Confused. Players equipped with a Cure/Confuse are also immune to being confused.

List of Riot weapons

There are three weapon types that can have specials. Specials on common weapons dropping from Monsters or Item boxes are randomly assigned, but are predetermined on all rare weapons. Specials on ES Weapons can be added with Photon drops.

Rare weapons

There are no rare weapons with Riot as a special attack.

Common weapons

The chance of obtaining specials on common weapons depends on area and difficulty. When a common weapon drops in an untekked state, there is a chance for it to come with Riot as a special. Riot can also be obtained by tekking up or down a common weapon that drops with the Panic or Havoc special. Once a weapon drops in an untekked state, the table below lists the overall chance of it coming with the Riot special (including the ability to tekk up or down from Panic and Havoc).
