How we got these numbers

What we ran

Orikan the Diviner, 90 pts, with its datasheet's weapons, in Canoptek Court. 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.

90 pts → kills ~9 pts → 10 per 100

SHIELD

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.

~142 pts → 158 per 100
