Anti-horde sits in the top 8%, spread across the list; resilience is in the bottom 2%.
«the top 8%» means above roughly 92% of sampled reference list shapes for that capability — a comparison, never win odds.
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.

What carries it
Plan around
Anti-horde is the clearest answer here; Reach is the pressure point to plan around.
The army, detachment, enhancement and leader rules the maths read — including 1 conditional one it did not fold into the numbers.

Legal-looking opportunities for these units and phases, not automatic bonuses — board state, CP and the exact trigger still decide.
Who carries each answer
The higher the share, the more the answer dies with that one unit.

Possible — The list can attempt this, but it depends on positioning or a key unit.
Difficult — This condition is hard to support with the current list shape.
Fit is about list shape, not about what you will draw. A «difficult» card is still scorable — it just needs the game to go your way.
