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. 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

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
