Default Re: Lanka Mania?

It varies from version to version, but I believe at present it *must* be a shield hit to cause blindness. If it doesn't work this way, I'd call it a bug.

This means that units with high def (enemies usually miss entirely) or very low def (which don't usually get the shield block) don't inflict much eye loss - but a unit with -2 def on the attacker can blind a lot of attackers, since any roll of -3 to +2 will result in eye loss.
