Blind

Blind

Debuff

For the support gem, see Blind Support.

A Blinded Rhoa

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. 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: $\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}{\begin{aligned}{\text{Attacker's effective critical strike chance}}={\text{Attacker's critical strike chance}}*{\text{Attacker's chance to hit}}\end{aligned}}$

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