How scoring works
6.07 / 10 Rank 35

Durable defence and powerful psychic blasts give Chaos teams a strong answer to crowded battles.

Guild Raid 2.0 / 10

Can fill a gap in a nonstandard Neurothrope team, but stronger psykers and limited prime evidence keep his raid value low.

Guild War 10.0 / 10

Defenses featuring Typhus hold in 42.1% of Meds Up battles across equally weighted battlefields, with established attack and defense Meta bonuses.

Horde 7.5 / 10

Durability, psychic blasts and relic poxwalkers provide strong wave pressure, with biological enemies and available spawning space determining sustained value.

Popularity 4.79 / 10

Planner records show 4,288 players at Gold I or higher, 1,723 at Diamond I or higher and 38 at Adamantine II or higher. Five equally weighted milestones determine this investment-based Popularity score.
