Absorption Monsters

Absorption monsters are a type of monster card. The color of their card frame is gray, which is similar to monster cards, but with a purple border. These cards are placed in the Spell Book.

To be properly summoned, Absorption monsters must first be Absorption Summoned (unless otherwise specified). If they leave the Spell Book without being summoned correctly, they cannot be summoned while they are in the Abyss or the Catacomb (unless otherwise specified).

Like other Spell Book monsters, Absorption monsters cannot exist in either the hand or the Altar (even with card effects). If an Absorption monster is placed in the hand or in the Altar, it is returned to the Spell Book instead.

Origins
Originally, the only way to properly summon an absorb monster was to do an absorb summon using the required absorb materials and the “absorption” item card. There are now many different ways to absorb a monster and many different cards that allow the player to absorb.

In the first season of Monster Orb: The Multiversal Battle and Monster Orb: The Unknown Dimension, absorption monsters were rarely seen, for the case of the archetypes included in its respective series. On the other hand, in the card game, absorption monsters are often used.

Playstyle
The main weakness of Absorption monsters is the need for the “Absorption” item card, which means that the player's ability to summon an Absorption monster is generally limited by the number of “Absorption” cards they have and the number of them and having the card in hand or in the field. Additionally, most absorption monsters list specific monsters as absorption materials, meaning they are less flexible and monsters can be used to summon him. Due to the need for the "Absorption" card in addition to at least two materials, their summoning will generally cost the player a large number of cards in hand and on the field.

However, a key advantage of the Absorption send over another summoning method is that monsters in the player's hand can be used as absorption materials, eliminating the need to spend more resources to summon these. materials in most cases. Many archetypes oriented by the Absorption send may have their own version of "Absorption"; most can be researched and recycled, allowing the player to reuse them multiple times and perform more absorption summons.
