Mind, abbreviated as MND, is a statistic featured in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. It represents the amount of magical defense the character has.
Description[]
The Mind (MND) statistic is a numerical representation of the player character's own developed magical resistance during the course of the game, which increases as they acquire Experience (EXP) and level up, allowing them to further withstand and survive magic-based attacks from enemies.
The player's MND stat in conjunction with their currently equipped armor pieces, which often may also give MND bonuses, will increase them more resilient to magical attacks.
The MND stat can be considered to be a counterpart of the Constitution (CON) stat, just focusing in increasing defense against magical attacks instead of from physical attacks.
As with all stats, the MND stat will increase each time the player levels up (generally by 1 point). Additionally, as mentioned, the player can artificially further increase this stat by equipping gear or by using shards that boost MND.
Attacks subject to a character's MND stat are the following:
In Bloodless Mode, Bloodless can improve her MND by finding shards of Blood of Faith in addition to leveling up.
