How we got these numbers
What we ran
Ynnari Archon, 85 pts, with 1 Blast Pistol, 1 Huskblade. On its own: no leader, no stratagems, no other units' auras.
SWORD
Enemy points it kills in one activation, per 100 pts of its own, against a mix of targets weighted like top tournament lists.
85 pts → kills ~26 pts → 30 per 100SHIELD
Enemy points it takes to kill it, per 100 pts of its own: the points of the cheapest units from top lists that kill it 80% of the time. It's per point, so a costly unit has to be much tougher to score the same.
