The confirmed Necron territory system: how the Power Matrix spreads, supports construction and changes the value of Dominion.
A field that grows with the Necron base
The Necron faction deep dive says that, as the Necron base grows, it spreads the Power Matrix. It also states that many Necron buildings can only be constructed on top of this field and that each building spreads it further. That makes the Matrix more than a visual boundary: the published design ties it to base expansion and to where part of the Necron infrastructure can exist.
Deep Silver also says that the size of the Power Matrix affects Dominion income and that the Matrix can buff friendly units standing on it. The article describes out-of-combat healing and says that units imbued with the Matrix’s energy heal more quickly, become tougher and are harder to kill. Those are the published functions; no numerical bonus or resource curve is supplied.
How to contest the Matrix
The publisher’s faction guidance recommends advancing the Power Matrix methodically and fighting within it whenever possible to gain additional bonuses. Its HOW TO PLAY AGAINST guidance gives the corresponding pressure point: try to fight Necrons outside the Power Matrix and engage their powerful ranged units. The two statements belong together because they describe the system from both sides of the map without claiming a universal matchup result.
The source does not publish the size of the field, the exact growth rules, the value of its bonuses or the Dominion rate at any stage. A page that supplied those figures from memory would be more specific than the authority. The confirmed takeaway is therefore structural: the Matrix spreads with Necron buildings, supports construction and improves the value of fighting in its territory; exact breakpoints remain unconfirmed.

No cost, build time, hit points, range, damage or squad size here — none of it has been published, by anyone. The game has not shipped and no playable build has produced figures that can be checked. Those rows appear the day the numbers exist.
