How we got these numbers
What we ran
Inquisitor Coteaz, 75 pts, with its datasheet's weapons, in Imperialis Fleet (At All Costs: Eliminate At All Costs). On its own: no leader, no stratagems, no other units' auras. Counted as dice: the detachment's rule.
SWORD
Enemy points it kills in one activation, per 100 pts of its own, against a mix of targets weighted like top tournament lists.
75 pts → kills ~38 pts → 50 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.
