Game Mechanics Frenzy: Upgrade of Confusion.

[TheGuideIsEvil]

A later Hardmode upgrade to Confusion. Enemies, for the duration of Frenzy, will attack other enemies. This function is accomplished in two ways; either with ranged spores emanating from them that deal a form of blight damage, or contact attacks by them chasing the target.

Frenzy probably doesn’t affect bosses: that being said, Frenzied lesser enemies could attack bosses. Summon damage boosters increase its effective function.

Its debuff icon is..idk..a bull. With players, it activates PVP functions for the duration.

I’m not sure where it could come from.

it could be infect the player via spores exhaled by plantera
and it could be given to enemies using a weapon dropped by plantera

So... if player is inflicted by Frenzy, how would that work? Would it basically enable PvP against others for the duration?

Sure, thanks!

Why not have it work like a combination of Confusion, Speed, and Contact Damage. The basically run around extra fast and anything they hit they damage. This way it could work on every mob.

Why complicate matters? Just have it make them target the closest enemy with their normal attacks.
