Blind can be removed with [[Cure]] and [[Dispel]] spells, or it is removed if the creature is attacked in any way or the duration of the spell ends. If Blind is removed from a creature, it will have a chance to act on its turn as it normally would according to its [[Speed#Speed as initiative|initiative]], or if its turn has already passed for the round, it will act immediately. | ||

== Tactics and info == | |||
Blind is arguably one of the strongest spells in the game. It is perhaps at its best combined with [[Resurrection]] spell, and managing to blind opponent's last creature stack. This leads to a situation where the opponent will have no chance to [[retreat]], and the hero can cast Resurrection to bring many if not all his troops back to life, provided enough spell power and mana. This tactics weak spot is [[War Machine]]s, which cannot be blinded and therefore with [[Artillery]] or [[First Aid]] secondary skill may offer enemy hero a chance to escape. Additionally, during siege battles [[Ballistics]] secondary skill may offer a chance for the enemy hero to escape. | Blind is arguably one of the strongest spells in the game.

One annoying thing is that if you don't have the [[Artillery]] skill, sometimes [[Ballista]] or [[Arrow Towers]] (or [[Cannon]] in {{hota}}) will shoot at blinded targets, unintentionally removing Blind. Therefore it's sometimes best to get rid of Ballista, (or Cannon) when you learn Blind and don't have Artillery, for example, by destroying it by magic (using spells like [[Meteor Shower]] which can damage both enemy troops and units of the caster). | One annoying thing is that if you don't have the [[Artillery]] skill, sometimes [[Ballista]] or [[Arrow Towers]] (or [[Cannon]] in {{hota}}) will shoot at blinded targets, unintentionally removing Blind.
