Focused is a positive status effect and a battle mechanic that appeared in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.
Description
Focused can be used by both playable characters and certain enemies. Enemies can be given Focused by performing certain POW moves, while playable characters can only obtain Focused by using Prune Juice. When a target is affected by Focused, his or her Attack is increased, making the target more likely to hit an opponent with an attack, though only for a short while. A few rounds after the target has been given Focused, it will wear off. Targets with the Focused status are signified by having a white "lock-on" marker on them.
