Answer

Ruling: No, if Warwick is not on the battlefield when his ability resolves, the ability does nothing because the game cannot determine where "here" refers to.

Sequence:

  • Warwick moves to the battlefield and his trigger goes on the chain
  • If Warwick is removed from the battlefield before the trigger resolves
  • The trigger is still on the chain but does nothing because "here" cannot be determined

Nuances:

  • The trigger being on the chain is separate from whether it can resolve successfully
  • "Here" means "same battlefield as me" and requires Warwick to still be present
  • "Here" is not targeting, but without last known information in Riftbound, "here" does not exist if the source is gone
  • If the ability said "destroy all damaged enemy units at a battlefield" without "here", it would still work
  • Warwick's trigger resolves before actual combat, so he can clear units before combat damage
