How to read this data

Each box shows how the selected faction performs against opponents grouped by a characteristic of their team.

Count — opponent operative count
Wounds — representative operative wounds
APL — representative operative APL
Move — representative operative movement

The bar shows deviation from the faction's overall win rate. Bars extending right (blue) indicate better performance; bars extending left (orange) indicate worse.

Much better (+10%+) Better (+5-10%) Similar (±5%) Worse (-5-10%) Much worse (-10%+)

Tap any row to see the individual faction breakdown. Faded rows have fewer than 20 games (less reliable).

How to Read These Charts

Crit Op, Tac Op, and Kill Op points do not include Primary Op points.

These violin plots show how Victory Points are distributed across games:

Width = Frequency: The wider the shape at any point, the more games ended with that VP score. Think of it like a sideways histogram - fat areas mean common scores, thin areas mean rare scores.
Dashed Line = Median: The horizontal dashed line shows the median (middle value) - half of all games scored above this line, half below.
Box = Middle 50%: The rectangular box highlights where the middle 50% of scores fall (from the 25th to 75th percentile). Most "typical" games end up in this range.

Example: If the violin is widest at 3 VP, that means 3 VP was the most common score. If it's thin at 0 VP and 6 VP, those extreme scores were rare.
