Invincible: Guarding the Globe: How to Use Totems in Events

To clear high-difficulty stages during limited-time events in Invincible: Guarding the Globe, equip Totems to key squad members to boost hero stats beyond standard equipment limits. Prioritize stat-boosting Totems on your primary damage dealers to clear enemy waves faster, and shift defensive or utility Totems to tanks and healers when your team fails to survive full encounters.

Totem Allocation by Squad Role

Totems act as power multipliers that help squads reach combat thresholds necessary for clearing scaling event waves. Allocate Totems according to squad roles to maximize efficiency:

Adjusting Totem Builds During Events

When progression stalls in an event, adjust your loadout using the following steps before spending resources on extra hero levels:

1. Identify the Failure Point: Watch the battle to determine whether your team is running out of time (lacking damage) or dying before the end of the wave (lacking sustain).
2. Reallocate Core Totems: If damage is insufficient, shift high-tier offensive Totems to your main damage dealer. If heroes are dying early, assign health or damage reduction Totems to your frontline and healers.
3. Align Passive Synergies: Check whether specific Totem bonuses match your heroes' factions or roles, allowing passive effects to stack.
4. Counter Stage Mechanics: Review event-specific conditions, such as enemy compositions or faction bonuses, and swap Totems to align with those constraints.
5. Upgrade Versatile Totems: Spend farmed upgrade materials on your most flexible Totems to raise their level caps, rather than relying on un-upgraded Totems for high-tier event stages.
