Totems are a type of creature. Totems appear in the game as monsters, and also as allies created by certain skills. Like any other creature, totems have life, and they will be destroyed if their life drops to zero. Totems do not leave exploitable corpses. Totems cast by players use their skills according to the player's stats, including modifiers from charges and buffs (like auras) affecting the player.
Totems as monsters
Main page: Totem (monster type)
Totems appear in some areas, such as the Ancient Pyramid, and are just like any other monster, except that they usually cannot attack1 or move2. They are commonly found projecting auras that affect nearby monsters.
There are several unique totem monsters, for example Kuduku, the False God (who always appears in The Ledge), Puruna, The Challenger, the boss of

totems.
Totems as allies
Certain skills allow the player to summon a totem ally. Depending on the skill, the totem will then attack, cast spells, or project an aura for the player. It will continue to cast until it is destroyed, its duration expires unless using an offensive spell (including minion summoning), in which case they will cast until there are no enemies in range (and start again if enemies enter their range), it runs out of skill charges, Souls, or resources, or it is overwritten due to the totem limit. These skills have the Totem gem tag.
Totems are also not considered party members. They are, however, considered allies. Totems allies are not considered to be minions, and are therefore not affected by minion-specific modifiers such as increased Minion Damage and Minion Instability.
The act of summoning a totem can be sped up by increased Totem Placement Speed modifiers. As of version 3.0.0, base totem placement time is 600 milliseconds.[1], and base ballista totem placement time is 350 milliseconds[2]
Any auras projected by the totem will affect all of the player's allies, including minions and party members. Aura skills and aura-like effects can affect totems (this includes degeneration effects).[3] Totems are only affected by auras that affect defensive properties (e.g. Armour, Evasion Rating, Energy Shield, damage reduction). Totems still use their summoner's skills. For an offensive aura to have an effect, it must affect the summoner, not the totem. Action Speed benefits like Tailwind are the one main exception and affect the totem directly.
Active totem limit
By default, a player can have only one (1) active totem at any time. Summoning a totem with the maximum number of totems active will cause the oldest living totem to be destroyed. This is a global limit among all skills. For example, if the player has a

Totem range
Totems have an aggro range that determines how far they can "see" for the purposes of targeting enemies with attacks and spells. Totem range is not considered an area of effect and will not be altered by AoE modifiers. Divergent quality grants 1% increased Totem Range per 1% quality on Spell and Ballista Totem Supports and 2% increased Activation Range per 1% quality on the Ancestral Protector and Warchief skills.
Skills used by totems
- Skills used by totems use the player's stats (which includes player's equipment, passives, buffs, and debuffs) as if the player used the skill. Any changes on the player that would affect a skill are immediately applied to the skill used by totems, both current and newly summoned. [4]
- Power Charges and Frenzy Charges on the player will apply their effects to skills used by totems.[5][6] Totems have a maximum Power Charge and Frenzy Charge limit of zero.[6] Power and Frenzy charges gained by totems are simply discarded and will not transfer back to the player.[7]
- Endurance Charges on the player do not provide their natural defensive effects to totems. Any effects from having Endurance Charges that would affect a skill (e.g. increased damage and AoE from Unyielding) used by a totem will be based on the player's Endurance Charges. Endurance Charges gained by a totem will apply their defensive benefits to the totem itself, but not to the player or other totems.
- Effects applied by the skill can be applied through totems, such as curse on hit modifiers from corrupted glove implicits, unique explicits (notably Temporal Chains on Asenath's Gentle Touch), or influenced/delve rings. (tested and confirmed Dec. 2020 using Ballistas).
- As it is the totem uses the player's skill, any reflected damage and other reflected effects will be reflected to the totem, not the player.
- Leech effects and similar effects such as gaining # life on hit, recover life/mana/energy shield to the totem which made the hit, unless the player is affected by a modifier that states they would also (or only) affect the player.
- Effects based on resources spent (e.g.

- Totems will follow the skill's cooldown and stored number of uses.
- Kills made by totems grants the player the experience, but effects such as life gain on kill will not affect the player. Due to the limitations of calculating kill attribution, most damage over time kills from totems will be attributed to the player, which allows their summoner to benefit from on-kill effects such as explosions (e.g. caused by

- Any Minions created by the totem are treated as if they had been cast by the player, and are subject to the same maximum minion limits, will get the benefits of Necromantic Aegis, and so on. Minions inherit the Less Damage and Less Attack/Cast Speed modifiers of the support, but will not be scaled by any totem modifiers.
- Unlike attack speed and cast speed, Action speed modifiers on a player will not affect the speed at which their totems cast or attack. Individual Totems each have their own action speed modifiers and they can be altered by non-local modifiers to action speed, like Tailwind to Allies from Gathering Winds, chill, and freeze. This also means totem action speed would not be affected when the player is chilled or frozen. [8]
Totem stats
While skills cast by the totem are affected by all modifiers affecting the player, the stats of the totem itself are not. The totem will not benefit from passive skills or gear that increase the player's life or energy shield, will not be affected by Chaos Inoculation or increased resistances, the totem is not considered to be wearing the player's armour, and so forth. Totems have a standard 40% elemental resistance and 20% chaos resistance, regardless of any resistance penalties applied on the player.[9] Totem base life scales on the level of the Totem Skill, or in the case of skills turned into totems, the level of Ballista Totem SupportBallista Totem SupportBow, Projectile, Support, Totem

Totem skills
When a Trap, Remote Mine, and Totem skill and support gems are all linked in combination, the result is a skill that lays a mine. When the mine is detonated, it lays a trap. When the trap is sprung, it places a totem, which then can cast the linked skill.
Therefore totems can never lay traps or mines. Totems can not be made to place other totems.
Totems do not work with trigger gems. They can not be summoned by them nor trigger any further effects.
