Passive Skills

  • Before the animal has received 3 hits during the combat, give DEF +20% to the rotation
  • For each energy point attached to the animal, ATK and DEF +10%
  • If 3 or more energy points are attached during the round, ATK +90% and damage reduction +30%

Attack Effects

  • Team: 40% chance to trigger • ATK +10% (the remainder of the combat)
Overview

The animal behind the card

In winter, they stay active beneath the snow in subnivean tunnels, where insulation is better than exposed surface air. There they feed on roots, grasses, and mosses while reducing exposure to wind and many visual predators.

Lemmings are a crucial prey base for Arctic foxes, owls, and other hunters, so their cycles ripple through entire northern food webs. Contrary to a persistent myth, they do not intentionally commit mass suicide; the dramatic die-offs are ecological, not deliberate behavior.

Bestiary facts

Lemmings do not deliberately commit mass suicide; population booms can force risky migrations and water crossings.
