Statistics Tutorial

Understanding the terminology and function of the various numbers in the Codex.

The Terminology

There are many statistics in the Codex that explain how Dawn of War II: Elite works and how units and various other structures interact with each other. The purpose of this page is to help you understand what these numbers mean and how they interact with each other to represent in-game situations.

DPS

DPS is Damage Per Second; this value is derived from the "health damage" value on the weapon pages, and explains how much health damage a weapon inflicts on average for every second of combat. In the Codex, this is only the basic damage value, however, and can be altered by many values shown in the Codex. There are many variables that determine the true DPS done to an enemy unit, and those variables will be explained in the following sections.

Firing Pattern

Pictured below is the Firing Pattern for the Assault Marines' bolt pistol from the bolt pistol's weapon page. These values, along with the "health damage" value, are the ones used to calculate the DPS of a weapon. It is important to remember that not all weapons have all of these values. All of these values are measured in seconds.

1. Wind up is the time it takes for a weapon to charge before firing, meaning that if you order it to fire, there will be a pause before it does. Weapons with wind up times tend to have animations that occur as the weapon is about to fire.
2. Wind down is the time it takes for a weapon to "un-charge" after an attack. For melee weapons, this tends to take the place of cooldown. This is also due to the animations these weapons have as they finish their attacks.
3. Cooldown is the value that determines the amount of time between attacks. Think of how a bolt action rifle must have a round manually injected into the chamber after every shot in order to fire; or how firing in short spurts maintains the accuracy of the weapon by minimizing recoil.
4. Burst is the value that shows the amount of time taken to fire before the Cooldown kicks in, and during each second of burst, the weapon will do its given value of health damage. For example, the Tactical Marine Bolter has a burst duration of 2, and since it does 25 health damage, it will deal 50 damage during the full duration of the burst. If the burst value is zero, the weapon just does it's base damage.
5. Reload Frequency is the value that determines the average amount of "shots" taken before reloading the weapon. The time between reloading the weapon is taken up by the Burst duration, the Wind up, Wind down, and Cooldown. Once the weapon deals its full damage a certain number of times (the average value of Reload Frequency), the weapon will be reloaded. For example, the Tactical Marine bolter deals 7 counts of its full 25 health damage per firing cycle, multiplied by the burst value (if the burst is 0, it can be considered 1 for mathematical purposes with respect to the damage only, not the time between shots), so 50 damage per "shot". To find the DPS of the weapon, the total health damage dealt over those 7 seconds is divided by the total time spent between reloads plus the Reload Duration. For the Tactical Marine bolter, this means 7 counts of 50 (350) is divided by (2*7)+(1*7)+3 = 24. And 350 / 24 = 14.58, as the weapon page states. This statistic is misleading due to the poor choice of name, so do not evaluate it by its name alone.
6. Reload Duration is the value that determines the amount of time spent reloading the weapon.

The order of these actions is: wind up -> burst -> wind down -> cooldown -> reload. For a more in depth look at the calculation of weapon DPS, read the thread here.

Two more values to consider are the "setup" and "teardown" times. These values can be found at the top of the weapon pages, and they represent the amount of time in seconds it takes for a unit to "setup" its weapon, meaning it will not enter the above firing pattern until it has setup. The teardown time is the amount of time taken by the squad to exit its "setup" state, and it will not be able to move until the weapon is torn down. In the Tactical Marine Bolter weapon page, you can see that there is no setup time, meaning the squad will immediately begin its Firing Pattern.

Accuracy

Accuracy affects the effective DPS done by any weapon, making some percentage of shots miss. Accuracy can be affected by the Unit Size's influence on Weapon Families, Cover's influence on Damage Types, and unit Movement. All of these will be explained below.

Fire on the Move (FotM)

There is also often an accuracy penalty for firing while moving. This can be seen on the weapon page of any weapon. Take for example the Apothecary's Customized Storm Bolter. Under the "Basic" section, there is a value titled moving accuracy. This value is multiplied by the DPS when a unit is firing while moving. As you can see, the Apothecary's accuracy is decreased by 50% while he fires on the move.

Weapon Families

The Weapon Family of a weapon determines the targeting priority of the given weapon, the damage type of the weapon, as well as the accuracy of that weapon against different Unit Sizes, or different sized targets.

Unit Size

Unit Size can be found on any unit's main "Stats" tab in the Codex. The Unit Size determines the accuracy of different weapon families against individual targets. As you can see in the picture to the right, this is the weapon family page of bolter_pvp. To the right are the accuracy values of bolter_pvp weapons against units of different sizes. To measure the effect, simply multiply the DPS by the value given in the right side of the picture.

Damage Types

Damage types determine how much damage a weapon does to a unit by interacting with the target's armor type. It also affects the accuracy the weapon has against different types of cover, the damage done to units in different types of cover, as well as the amount of Courage damage done to units in different types of cover.

Cover/Cover Types

Cover affects the damage taken from ranged weapon fire, as well as the accuracy of weapon fire, and it is directional, meaning that it will protect the unit in cover as long as it is not being fired upon from behind or from the side. There are five levels of cover, all of which, along with their effects on damage and accuracy, are displayed to the right with the values taken from the piercing damage page:

1. Open Cover is actually a lack of cover. Any units standing in the open take full damage from incoming ranged fire, adjusted for accuracy based on Unit Size.
2. Light Cover, also called Yellow Cover due to the yellow dots that appear when you position units behind it, is the second weakest form of Cover behind Open Cover, and is scattered throughout the battlefield. It can also be created by some explosive attacks and abilities.
3. Heavy Cover, or Green Cover, is the strongest common form of cover, spread throughout the battlefield like Light Cover, although it is less common.
4. Garrison Cover is any type of structure that units can enter and fire from. Some maps have buildings, while others do not, and units in cover take heavily mitigated damage, although only one model can fire per window and they become very vulnerable to grenades, grenade launcher, and flame attacks.
5. Energy Shield Cover is a form of cover available only to the Eldar army. It is built by Dire Avengers and provides perfect cover, preventing the units behind it from taking any damage at all.

To understand how the multipliers interact with received DPS, multiply the accuracy based on the Unit Size by the accuracy value versus cover. The resulting value can then be multiplied by the DPS. The damage vs cover value can be multiplied by the health damage value.

Weapon Range

The Weapon Range of a weapon determines the maximum range of the weapon, and the amount of damage a weapon will do at four separate distance intervals. Different weapons have different intervals, but most weapons' damage outputs are not affected by this. It is mostly reserved for suppression teams and scout shotguns, although there are exceptions to this. It is difficult to determine how large the range really is in game just by knowing the number, and it is best learned through visual experience.


As you can see in the image of the Space Marine Devastator Heavy Bolter to the right, the distance intervals include distant, long, medium, and short. Any unit that is at a range of 15 or less from the heavy bolter will be in short range, and will receive health damage 2.75 times greater than the heavy bolter's default value when the DPS is calculated. Any unit at a distance greater than 15 and less than or equal to 25 will be in medium range. It is the same for long range and distant range, and the distant range will go until the end of the weapon's maximum firing range.

Courage

Courage is essentially a health value, but instead of being killed when the courage goes to zero, the unit is suppressed. Set-up teams are the most common form of suppression, although there are some other weapons that can do this, and several abilities that suppress as well. Just as with weapon damage, courage damage can be affected by the weapon range. The image above shows that the Heavy Bolter also causes courage damage, and that the amount varies depending on the distance interval. The values here work in the same way as health damage does in the weapon range section above.

When a unit becomes suppressed, the weapon cooldown is multiplied by 20, greatly decreasing the DPS of the squad. Suppression also decreases the speed of the squad by 65%. All units will slowly regenerate courage when they receive courage damage, and when a unit becomes suppressed, they actually regenerate courage 30% faster than normal. Some abilities will break suppression, and some can prevent suppression.

Armor Types

Armor types determine how much damage a unit takes from certain kinds of damage types. Different units have different armor types, which are displayed on their "Stats" tabs. To find out how different damage types affect armor types, check the various damage type pages. The different armor types, with a basic idea of how they work, are:

1. Commander armor (heroes and subcommanders). Grants some resistance against light ranged fire and light melee weapons.
2. Infantry armor (e.g. Scouts, Dire Avengers). Light infantry; these units suffer 100% damage from most damage types, but less from plasma weapons.
3. Infantry Fire Resist armor (e.g. Heretics, Hormagaunts). Like infantry armor, but these units take reduced damage from flame attacks.
4. Heavy Infantry armor (e.g. Tactical Marines, Wraithguard). Resistant to small arms fire, but more vulnerable to plasma, power melee weapons and grenades.
5. Super Heavy Infantry armor (e.g. Terminators, Avatar). Even more resistant to small arms than heavy infantry, but also suffer additional damage from plasma and power melee weapons.
6. Vehicle armor (e.g. Razorback, Carnifex). Almost impervious to small-arms fire, can only be effectively countered with armor piercing weaponry, and to some extent melee heavy weapon damage.
7. Building armor (HQ buildings). Resistant to most damage types, can be damaged by ranged armor piercing weapons.
8. Building_Defense armor (turrets). Resistant to small arms, vulnerable to armor piercing weapons, very vulnerable to flame damage.
9. Building_Light armor (generators). Somewhat resistant to small arms, vulnerable to armor piercing damage, very vulnerable to flame damage.

Leveling

The leveling tab in the Codex shows how a unit progresses as it gains experience. Most units gain experience points through through killing enemy units and reviving allied commanders. Some specific abilities such as Tyranid synapse auras and the Apothecary's healing abilities improve with veterancy levels. Regular units have 4 levels, while heroes have 10.

Each model in the game has a designated XP value. When the model is killed, this XP value is spread out to all units that did damage to it. In addition, units that gain experience share it to all friendly units within a 55 radius (the sight radius for most units is 40). These units gain 40% of the XP that the original unit gained.

Every unit requires 500 XP per level. Heroes gain 50% more XP than other units and continue progressing up to level 10. Reviving allied heroes grants the reviver 250 XP.

Now take a look at the image of the Tactical Marines' leveling table. This table, available for every unit in the Codex, shows the leveling statistics of each individual model in the squad.

1. Health is the amount of health damage a unit can take before it is killed. Tactical Marines have 350 per model to begin with, meaning the whole squad begins with 1050 health.
2. Health Regen. is the amount of health a squad member will regenerate every second. Tactical Marines have .5 Health Regen, meaning the total squad (assuming it still has 3 models) will regenerate 1.5 health every second. This value can be augmented by abilities of other squads or upgrades, and the regeneration these grant is added to the base health regeneration.
3. Energy is the amount of energy a squad has to cast abilities. When the energy level is too low, the squad will not be able to cast any ability that has an energy cost above that amount.
4. Energy Regen. is the amount of energy a squad member regenerates every second. It regenerates in the same way as health regeneration, and can also be augmented by abilities and upgrades.
5. Melee Skill is a value that is compared in melee combat to decide the chance the unit has of executing a special attack. This value will be discussed further later on.
6. Melee Damage in this table is a multiplier. When a unit levels up, the health damage its melee weapons do is multiplied by the value in the table.
7. Ranged Damage in the table works in the same way as the Melee Damage, but instead affects ranged weapons only.

Melee Skill

The "Melee Skill" statistic is a statistic that is only used in melee combat. When making a melee attack, the attacker's melee skill is compared to the target's, and the difference is used in calculating the chance that a special attack will be performed. The base chance is 5% (which will be the case for equally skilled combatants).


When an attack is made, if the attacker's melee skill is higher than the defender, the chance of a special attack is (5% + x%), where x is the difference in melee skill. Thus, if an Assault Marine (Melee Skill 70) were to attack an Eldar Guardian (Melee Skill 50), he would have a (5% + 20%) = 25% chance of performing a special attack.


If the attacker has a lower melee skill, the difference is used as a negative modifier that is further multiplied by 5 (5% - 5x%). Effectively, having a Melee Skill of even 1 point lower than the defender means there is no chance of making special attacks at all (5% - 5% = 0%). Having a negative final percentage (below 0%) has no effect.


The skill comparison is especially important in the case of opposing units that start off with equal skill (for example Assault Marines vs Howling Banshees, both with 70); an advantage of being just one Experience level ahead (and therefore 1 point more melee skill) can tip the balance of a fight even further than the level bonus to health/damage might suggest.


A moving model has its Melee Skill reduced by 2 points. While this only slightly increases susceptibility to special attacks for already overmatched models, it can allow a slightly underskilled model to tie, and grant a small chance of pulling off a special attack on a moving enemy trying to slip past. This -2 penalty does not apply to models that are in "Charging" mode (a movement state when a model is moving toward an enemy to engage in melee).


Certain upgrades and triggered temporary abilities also increase a unit's melee skill.


The actual special attacks vary depending on the specific attacking unit. While they generally inflict varying amounts of extra damage, the additional effect differs. One type of unit might have a broad weapon sweep, while there are other units that perform a front-facing knockback hit. Some units even have more than one special attack, that will be selected at random. Ranged specialist units often do not have a special attack at all.


Knockback from melee special attacks all fall under the "Weapon knockback" category (as opposed to "Ability knockback") and therefore do not affect Retreating units, Terminators, and the like.

Area of Effect (AoE)

Area of Effect damage is damage done in an area, and in the descriptions of many weapons and abilities, the area of effect is described with a radius. This means that the damage done is in the shape of a circle, and units within the circle of this radius will be affected. It is also possible for area of effect damage to deal damage in a semi-circle of a given arc, shown in the table to the right as "angle left" and "angle right". If the table shows "angle left: -90" and "angle right: 90", the area of effect damage is done in a 180 degree semi-circle in the direction of the attack. Very simply visualized in the graph to the right.


Usually with abilities, the damage done in the area of effect is uniform, although there are exceptions. With weapons, though, the damage taken by affected units will vary depending on their distance from the center of the circle. Above is the area of effect damage done by the Space Marine Plasma Cannon Devastator, shown on its weapon page. It works in much the same way as weapon damage does with Weapon Range as explained above. Units at a distance of 1 or less from the center take full damage, units at a distance less than or equal to 2 and greater than 1 will take 60% of the base damage, and so on. Any unit outside of a radius of 7 will not be affected.


Cost and Economy

Requisition


Requisition is the basic "currency" resource in Dawn of War II, roughly equivalent to minerals in StarCraft or mass in Supreme Commander. Requisition is needed to purchase any kind of unit, upgrade or structure in the game. Some basic purchases have only a Requisition cost, while advanced units/upgrades generally require Power as well.


Requisition is gained by controlling specific points on the map. The HQ building produces a constant income of 264 requisition per minute for each player, but to gain more resources the player/team must capture Requisition Points. These special locations start neutral, but can be claimed by any infantry unit (the process takes a moment and can be interrupted).


Captured Requisition Points grant more Requisition income per minute, starting from 10 in 1v1 matches, 7 in 2v2 games and 5 in 3v3 games. The point will "mature" over time and produce more Requisition, up to 30 requisition (1v1), 20 requisition (2v2) and 15 requisition (3v3). If the point is decaptured by an opponent, it must be reclaimed and the maturation process starts again, hurting the player's economy.


As the game progresses, the Upkeep mechanic will start lowering your Requisition income.


Minimum Maximum
1v1 +10 +30
2v2 +7 +20
3v3 +5 +15

Power


Power is an advanced resource roughly equivalent to vespene gas in StarCraft or energy in Supreme Commander. Higher technology tiers, most advanced units and most upgrades require Power in addition to Requisition.


The Power resource is produced by generators, which must be purchased with 100 requisition. The HQ building will grant a minimal Power income of 10 per minute, which is not very substantial. To gain more Power, generators must be constructed, but in Dawn of War II they can only be built around specific Power Node locations.


The Power Node is captured like a Requisition Point, after which it generates a small amount (5 power in 1v1 matches) of Power. The Power Node can be "activated" for 125 requisition, which builds a structure on top of it, increasing the Power income and forcing an opponent to destroy the structure before claiming the Node for themselves. When the Node is activated, up to three Power Generators may be built around it for 100 requisition each, further increasing the Power income up to 39.


Node Activated Generators Maximum
1v1 +5 +9 +10 each +39
2v2 +3 +6 +7 each +27
3v3 +2 +4 +5 each +19

Global Resource


The Global Resource (named Zeal, Waaagh!, Psychic Might, Biomass, Favor or Command depending on race, usually just called "red" by players) is the third resource mechanic in Dawn of War II. The Global Resource is a bit like experience, accumulated by fighting. Each model has a Global Resource value, which is granted to an opponent who kills the model. The owner also receives 75% of the value. For example, a Land Raider tank is worth 120 global resource, which is granted to the destroyer, while the owner receives 90 for losing it.


This Global Resource is used for "global abilities", powerful feats not activated from/by any single unit, but from the global ability bar. The abilities can generally be used anywhere on the map, ranging from buffs or debuffs to calling down special units to the field. The cost for global abilities varies from 25 for a simple buff to 500 for a "nuke" ability such as Orbital Bombardment. Some globals have a Requisition/Power cost as well; for example, calling in a Terminator Squad would cost a total of 650 requisition and 100 power in addition to the "red" cost of 350.


The Orks have a special version of the Global Resource mechanic, generating their Waaagh! at a rate of 15 per minute but also requiring it for many regular unit abilities in exchange.


Population


The Population capacity limits the size of a Dawn of War II army. Each model takes up a certain amount of Population, with more powerful models "costing" more; for example, a single Guardsman model uses only 1 population, while a Tactical Marine model uses 5 and a Great Unclean One uses 21.


This Population count has two functions. First, the size of an army cannot exceed 100 Population, forcing a player to plan their purchases. Second, all models produced beyond 30 population activate the Upkeep mechanic and start taxing the player's Requisition income.


Upkeep


Upkeep is a Requisition tax that a player pays to maintain their army. Each race starts with 0 upkeep, and it will remain 0 as long as the Population threshold of 30 population is not exceeded. Every unit after this limit, however, will start to decrease the overall Requisition income by a certain amount. This amount is called "Upkeep". For example:


The upkeep of a single Guardsman model is 2.55. If you have five unupgraded Guardsman Squads (6 models each, taking up 1 pupulation per model), you will reach a total of 30 population and suffer no upkeep penalty. At this point, should you build a sixth Guardsman Squad, your Population count will rise to 36 and you will suffer a 15.3 income penalty for the extra 6 models you have over 30 population (2.55 × 6 = 15.3).

Regardless of the order the units are purchased in, the most expensive ones are always taxed first, while the units with cheapest upkeep go to the bottom of the list.


This tax may seem odd but it has its functions. It allows players to start their army and build Power Generators quickly, as early-game armies will cause only low upkeep. When the army grows, possibly even reaching 100 population so that new units cannot be bought, the player will not gain ridiculous amounts of Requisition just by sitting on their hands, but must continue to avoid casualties and hold Requisition Points. The mechanic also allows one more chance for a player to get back into the match after losing many units, as their Requisition income will improve somewhat (of course they may still lose control of their Requisition Points and Power Nodes).


Cost


And now that you understand the game's resources, take a look at the image to the right. It is the cost tab of the Tactical Marine Squad, and it shows how much the squad costs to purchase, and how much it costs to reinforce. All prices on the left side of the table are the prices of the entire squad, while the prices on the right represent the cost of a single model within the squad.


As you can see, the Tactical Squad costs 450 requisition to buy and no Power or Global Resource. The squad does take up 15 population, half of what it takes to reach the upkeep threshold. The other value is the time it takes to produce, which is 24 seconds for Tactical Marines.


On the right, you can see that the cost to reinforce one model is 75 requisition, so reinforcing 2 models would cost 1/3 the original price of the squad, and means you are missing out on other squad purchases, upgrades, or 1.5 generators. There is no power cost, each model costs 5 population, and each model takes 6 seconds to produce. Finally, the upkeep for each model is 12.75, which means that the whole squad, when you are over 30 population, could cost you 38.25 requisition every minute depending on the upkeep costs of your other units.


Unit Effects

Unit effects are anything that affect the performance of a unit in the game, whether it a positive effect or a negative one. Aside from buffs and debuffs, which are effects that positively and negatively affect the stats of a unit, respectively, there a few other changes a unit can be forced to undergo in game.


Retreat


Retreating, or "Fall Back", is a function that is essential to succes in Dawn of War II. Retreating can be done by heroes and most infantry units, and has several effects on the retreating units. When a unit retreats, it immediately becomes immune to weapon knockback, light weapon knockback, and medium weapon knockback; most abilities and attacks that do ability knockback are also unable to knockback retreating units, although Plasma Cannon Devastators are able to knock back units in retreat, and all units in retreat can be affected by domino knockback. All forms of knockback are detailed in the Knockback section below.


Units in retreat also have all status effects removed from them, which breaks slows, stuns, suppression, and other similar effects. Squads that require weapon setup will also tear down their weapons 50% faster, so if your setup weapon team is in danger, moving them before retreating can be a deadly mistake.


The speed of units is also increased when they retreat. As soon as they retreat, the unit's speed increases by 1; after 4 seconds of retreating, their speed increases by an additional 1.25, so 2.25 higher than their non-retreating maximum; after 8 seconds, their speed increases by another 1.25 (+3.5 total); and after 12 seconds, their speed increases by another 0.75 (+4.25 total).


Damage modifiers are also changed against retreating units. Ranged weapons fired at retreating units deal 80% decreased damage from what they would do when fired at a non-retreating unit. Grenades, however, deal extra damage to retreating units to account for this, increasing their base damage to retreating units by 4.5 times, which is then multiplied by the 0.2 retreat modifier. This means grenades deal 10% less damage than their maximum to retreating units.


Melee weapons, however, deal 30% more damage to retreating units, which makes choosing when and where to retreat a very valuable skill to learn.


Stun


A stun is a fairly common effect that can be induced by several abilities. It causes the affected unit's speed to be reduced by 95%, and prevents any abilities or weapons to be used for the duration of the stun. It is presented by a red swirl animation that appears over the affected unit.


Knockback


Knockback is an effect that causes the target to be thrown into the air and prevents that unit from fighting as long as it is being knocked back. There are five kinds of knockback: weapon knockback, ability knockback, light weapon knockback, medium weapon knockback, and domino knockback. Vehicles cannot be affected by knockback.

1. Weapon Knockback is a form of knockback that affects most lighter infantry, and can be caused by special attacks and many abilities. This form of knockback does not affect units like the Chaos Lord, Brother-Captain, and Terminators, and does not affect units that are retreating. Units with a shield ability, aside from the Techmarine, are protected from weapon knockback as well, but are still affected by ability knockback.
2. Light Weapon Knockback is a form of knockback that affects anything not immune to it. Most units with shield abilities are only immune to regular Weapon Knockback, but aren't immune to Light Weapon Knockback. Not many things use this form of knockback, though. Two examples are the knockback chance when the Kommando Nob fires his Speshul Shoota, and the Autarch's melee charge knockback.
3. Medium Weapon Knockback is a form of knockback that is similar to Light Weapon Knockback. It knocks back anything, including shielded units, that isn't immune to its effects, and very few, if any, things in the game use this type of knockback.
4. Ability Knockback is a form of knockback that affects all infantry types and also affects units in retreat. Although, there are exceptions to this. For example, the Space Marine Dreadnought's special attack does Ability Knockback but does not knock back units in retreat.
5. Domino Knockback is a type of knockback that only occurs after a unit is knocked back by any of the above forms of knockback. When a unit is knocked back, it can fly into other units, and when it does, it is possible for these other units to be knocked back by this contact.

Infiltration


Infiltration is a common ability, and can cost varying amounts of energy or, in the case of the Kommando Nob's Hide da Boyz, global resource. Attacking or using abilities while infiltrated will partially reveal the squad. Partially revealed units receive -20% damage, and the squad can be fully revealed by detector units (marked with an eye above the unit), capturing points or getting too close (radius 5) to non-detector enemy units.

Unit Stats

The Unit Stats tab on all unit pages contains all of the basic information pertaining to a squad, from its health to its movement capabilities. The Unit Stats box shows values that pertain to the squad as a whole. The Model Stats box refers to individual models within the squad. Here is an explanation of how each of these values works.

1. Type is the squad's unit type, which will affect what abilities can work on it and what the effects of the abilities will be. For example, Eldritch Storm deals damage to all unit types, but only immobilizes units with the "vehicle" type.
2. Squad is the number of models in the squad by default. This number does not account for extra models added by upgrades.
3. Health in the Unit Stats box is the total health value of the entire squad.
4. Courage is the amount of Courage damage a squad can take before it becomes suppressed.
5. Armor is the armor type of the squad, and determines how much damage the unit takes from different damage types.
6. Size is the Unit Size of the models in the squad. This affects the accuracy of different weapon families on the squad.
7. XP is the amount of experience a unit grants to the enemy when killed.
8. Global is the amount of Global Resource granted to the enemy when a unit is killed.
9. Health in the Model Stats box is the amount of health of each individual model in the squad.
10. Melee Skill is the melee skill of each model in the squad.
11. Speed is the maximum speed a unit can move in-game. The higher the value, the higher the speed. These values are best understood through observation of unit movement in game.
12. Rotation is the speed at which a unit can turn. The faster a unit can turn, the faster it will be able to begin moving in a new direction, or begin firing on a nearby target. Set up teams, for instance, have slower rotation speed, and this prevents them from quickly turning and setting up when they are flanked, in addition to their setup times of course.
13. Sight is the maximum radial distance a unit is able to reveal the Fog of War. And the value in the parentheses is the Keen Sight Radius, or the maximum radial distance a unit is able to detect infiltrated units.

Active/Passive Abilities

Active abilities are abilities that must be initiated by the player by either activating the ability or by selecting an ability and designating a target for it. Passive abilities are abilities that do not rely on the player to activate. Some passive abilities are always active, like the Apothecary's healing aura, and others, like Space Marine Terminators' Inspire, activate passively on a kill or some other trigger. Passive abilities in the Codex will be labeled as such, and any abilities not labeled should be assumed to be active abilities. Any ability with a casting range, which is the maximum distance an ability can be cast to, will have the casting range in the description, where it will just be described as "Range".
