Enemy points it kills in one activation, per 100 pts of its own, against a mix of targets weighted like top tournament lists.

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.
