Best Daemons of Chaos units by the numbers

For each kind of unit, the Daemons of Chaos units with the highest of one number from the unit card, and how much of it 1,000 gold buys. Patch 9.0.4.

COMPUTEDTop 3 per list, one row per unit (its versions — “Hammerers (Grudge Settlers)” — count once). Base values at Ultra unit size, rank 0 — skills, technologies, items and abilities change them in battle. “Per 1,000 gold” uses the multiplayer cost. Lords, heroes and Regiments of Renown are left out, and so are units the race has only in the extended roster (campaign_exclusive: Custom Battle with Unit caps off, never ranked). Not a tier list: a unit good at one thing can be poor at another; open it to see the whole card.
