Cursed Legion

Necrons/Cursed Legion + Skyshroud Spearhead/Strike ForceShared

The read

Anti-infantry sits in the top 13%, spread across the list; resilience and reach are in the bottom third.

«the top 13%» means above roughly 87% of sampled reference list shapes for that capability — a comparison, never win odds.

Shapevs the p50 ring

The shape, not the verdict. Area is not a score — two lists with the same area can play nothing alike. The bars beside it are the reading that counts, and each spoke is this list's percentile under baseline assumptions.
