Blind is a status ailment that reduces the chance to hit of the affected target by 50% and reduce its light radius to the minimum value.

The base duration of Blind is 4 seconds. Resolute Technique will nullify the miss chance. Attacking a target which has Unwavering Stance will also nullify the miss chance. Blinding is not considered a status ailment, and does not interact with Critical strikes in any way.

Calculations

Attacker's chance to hit = 1 - Defender's chance to evade
[Chance to hit while blinded] = 0.25 * [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.
