The manual is fairlt vague and I am not sure which is better to use in combat since I dont really know what they do. Should I just try to make both hit or is one useless?

Blind lowers the accuracy of the opponent attacking you. Stun is supposed to lower some of thier ability scores, and also denies them their next turn. In practice, I think stun somewhat lowered the average damage a mob was able to hit me for, but not as much as intimidate.

as far as I understand blind decreases their accuracy (meaning they are more prone to miss you) and stun lowers their attack rate (they won't swing as often).

in practice, blind will lower their accuracy, stun and itimidate lower their damage. If I take a total swag at it, I'd guess with stun and intim in place they hit for ~30% of normal. Issue is the stun almost always lands, while the intimidate rarely does. And the intimidate is the one that works considerably better.

Oh and if you run Berserk a lot, don't bother using Blind. The two kind of target themselves out. Since i don't berserk anymore, i go for knockdown 2, blind, stun, knockdown 2, intimidate for overkill, equip VK's and box and beat.
