Blind is a debuff that reduces the chance to hit of the affected target by 50% and reduce its 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. Blind is not an elemental status ailment and is not affected by the Crystal Skin notable passive skill.

Calculations

Attacker's chance to hit = 1 - Defender's chance to evade
[Chance to hit while blinded] = 0.5 * [Chance to hit while not blinded]

or equivalent:

Defender's chance to evade = 1 - Attacker's chance to hit
[Chance to evade blinded enemy] = 1 - ( 0.5 * ( 1 - [Chance to evade not-blinded enemy] ) )

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

1 - ( 0.5 * ( 1 - 0.35 ) ) = 67.5% Chance to evade that same enemy when it is blinded.

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

While not blinded:

20% * ( 1 - 35% ) = 13% effective critical strike chance

While blinded:

20% * ( 1 - 67.5% ) = 6.5% effective critical strike chance
