Ether Totems are devices predominantly used by Scorn Chieftains in battle, though they have also been seen to be deployed by powerful Raiders such as Heimiks, Warden of the Harvest.

Gameplay

There are a total of three versions of Ether Totem that a Chieftain can spawn:

  • The Ether Torch totem acts as a flame turret that spins fire streams that can burn away at their targets. (for more info see Chieftain page)
  • The Ether Bind totem tethers any Guardians close to it in an attempt to allow other Scorn units to close the distance and kill their target; destroying this totem will break the tether. They act like the Fanatic's staff as they can pull guardians to it just from briefly entering their range and the Nightstalker's Shadowshot super for tethering nearby Guardians. (for more info see Chieftain page)
  • The Ether Shield totem behaves similarly to the Servitor's shield ability as well as heal Scorn units within its proximity.[1](for more info see Chieftain page)

Trivia

  • All three totems have varying ranges, Solar totems have the smallest range with their range being that of a Ward of Dawn Bubble and median life span. The Void totems have the longest range but also the shortest lifespan. The Arc totems work in contrast to the previous two, in they have the median range but have the longest lifespan, surviving quite long after their summoner has been terminated.
  • Overload Chieftains are capable of deploying all three kinds of Totems.
