Absorbing Varmints is one of the cards in Stormbound: Kingdom Wars .
Overview [ ] Absorbing Varmints is an epic Rodent Ancient that, before moving, can pull then damage your enemy's units. It can be used in more midrange strategies.
Strategies [ ] Using cheap Ancients and Rodents like Erratic Neglects , Fragmented Essences , and Ozone Purifiers are where Absorbing Varmints shines the most. From there, you can build up your deck like a typical Ironclad deck to great benefit.
Units that are pulled are pulled straight back and must have an Ancient in the same column as it for the ability to work. If you play Absorbing Varmints in a column with no enemy units, and have no other Ancients on board that are behind your enemy's units, no units will be pulled and damaged by its ability.
