[Shurrig]

I think the "Batting Average" sabermetric for Heroscape would be how many points a unit kills/wounds in a game over how many points said unit costs. If there isn’t a name for this already, I’d dub it as the Wound Efficiency Value [WEV(Δ)].


WEV/WEVΔ Equation

Much like batting avg., WEV(Δ) is a simple division equation. IE, If Major Q10 puts 3 wounds on Grimnak [24 points per wound x 3= 72) and kills 6 Heavy Gruts (105), your WEV for Q10 is 177/150= 1.180 (Δ is 219/170=1.288).


This stat does have its limitations, as it is not truly representative of every unit’s true value. Defenders like Rats/Raelin will not usually kill their point total and therefore will often average a lower WEV than a Nilfheim or Stingers. Inversely, units like Isamu or Marcu can easily hit way above their points due to their low point total/variance. Nonetheless, I think it’s a fun stat to track and still has its use cases for several types of units.
