Revision as of 13:25, 15 August 2016

Blind is a debuff that lessens the chance to hit of the affected target by 50% and lowers the light radius to the minimum value.

Mechanics

The base duration of Blind is 4 seconds. Attacking with Resolute Technique or attacking a target which has Unwavering Stance will nullify the miss chance. Blinding a target will also reduce its effective critical strike chance by reducing its chance to succeed confirmation rolls of critical strikes.^[1] Blind is not an elemental status ailment and is not affected by the Crystal Skin notable passive skill.

Calculations

$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}{\begin{aligned}{\text{chance to hit}}_{\text{as blinded attacker vs defender}}&=0.5*(1-{\text{chance to evade}}_{\text{defender}})\\{\text{chance to evade}}_{\text{as defender vs blinded attacker}}&=1-0.5*({\text{chance to hit}}_{\text{attacker}})\end{aligned}}$

For example, if you would normally have a 35% chance to evade attacks made by a particular enemy, you would have the following chance to evade against blinded enemies:

$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}{\begin{aligned}{\text{chance to evade}}&=1-0.5*(1-0.35)\\&=67.5\%\end{aligned}}$

In addition, the attacker's effective critical strike chance is also reduced:

Attacker's effective critical strike chance = [Attacker's critical strike chance] * [Attacker's chance to hit]

Using the values from the previous example, if the attacker has a 20% critical strike chance then its effective critical strike chance can be calculated as follows

$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}{\begin{aligned}{\text{effective critical strike chance}}_{\text{not blinded}}&=20\%*(1-35\%)\\&=13\%\\{\text{effective critical strike chance}}_{\text{blinded}}&=20\%*(1-67.5\%)\\&=6.5\%\end{aligned}}$
