A Blinded Rhoa

Blind (known as Blinded in status icon) 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

<math display="" style="background-color:transparent; padding:0;"> \color[RGB]{163,141,109} \begin{align} \text{chance to hit}_{\text{as blinded attacker vs defender} } & = 0.5 \times (1 - \text{chance to evade}_{\text{defender} }) \\ \text{chance to evade}_{\text{as defender vs blinded attacker} } & = 1 - 0.5 \times (\text{chance to hit}_{\text{attacker} }) \end{align}

   </math>

Stated another way, blinding a monster will improve the player's evade chance as follows:

<math display="" style="background-color:transparent; padding:0;"> \color[RGB]{163,141,109} \begin{align} \text{NewEvadeChance} & = (1 + \text{OldEvadeChance})/ 2 \end{align}

   </math>

Conversely, becoming blinded will worsen the player's chance of hitting a monster:

<math display="" style="background-color:transparent; padding:0;"> \color[RGB]{163,141,109} \begin{align} \text{NewHitChance} & = \text{OldHitChance} /2 \end{align}

   </math>

For example, if you normally have a 35% chance to evade a monster attack, blinding that monster will improve evasion as shown:

<math display="" style="background-color:transparent; padding:0;"> \color[RGB]{163,141,109} \begin{align} \text{chance to evade} & = 1 - 0.5 \times (1 - 0.35) \\ & = 67.5% \end{align}

   </math>

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

<math display="" style="background-color:transparent; padding:0;"> \color[RGB]{163,141,109} \begin{align} \text{Attacker's effective critical strike chance} = \text{Attacker's critical strike chance} \times \text{Attacker's chance to hit} \end{align}

   </math>

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

<math display="" style="background-color:transparent; padding:0;"> \color[RGB]{163,141,109} \begin{align} \text{effective critical strike chance}_{\text{not blinded} } & = 20% \times (1 - 35%) \\ & = 13% \\ \text{effective critical strike chance}_{\text{blinded} } & = 20% \times (1 - 67.5%) \\ & = 6.5% \end{align}

   </math>
