Amplified Air Horn

Amplified Air Horn is the rare upgraded form of the Air Horn, earned by completing the Air Horn sidequest. Once per battle, it applies Madness to any unit within 5 tiles and in the wielder's line of sight — a powerful crowd-control tool that can turn an enemy against their own allies. Unlike the base sidequest version, it no longer causes ambushes.

Madness causes the afflicted unit to act with random targets each turn, meaning they may attack their own allies, move erratically, or waste turns on ineffective actions. Applied once per battle to the highest-priority enemy, this can neutralize a dangerous boss or elite attacker for multiple turns. The 5-tile range and line-of-sight requirement mean positioning matters — the wielder needs to be in a clear sightline of the target.

Amplified Air Horn is most powerful as an opener — use it at the start of battle on the most dangerous enemy to potentially redirect their first attack into their own team. In boss fights, Madness can waste several of the boss's turns on random actions, significantly reducing the damage your team takes. The weapon slot cost is justified if you use the Madness application every battle rather than holding it for emergencies.
