TOTOM
TOTOM is a miniboss and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5 introduced in the v2 update. It is found in a secret room hidden between the bamboo shoots in the lake in Greenwood Village. It is a member of the Arcade foes.
Appearance
TOTOM is a totem pole rendered in a classic 8-bit style. It has two brown hands and four brown "totems" which are all stacked somewhat haphazardly. Each totem has a distinct expression, with the topmost totem having a set of blue leaves on its sides.
As TOTOM loses health, the topmost totem is knocked off. This can happen twice, leaving it with only the two bottom totems at low health.
TOTOM's arcade is located in an underground bamboo grove. Surrounding the cabinet is a wooden platform and two parallel ponds with lily pads, seperated by stone lanterns. The lily pads can be walked on with Leafy Boots to obtain two hidden chests.
Overview
TOTOM is an Arcade foe with healing skills that starts off as a moderate threat but ramps things up as it loses parts.
TOTOM can use a variety of Bio and Earth attacks, though their low elemental percent means that resistance does not help much. Without any body parts lost, TOTOM will only cast its given abilities once; when it loses a body part it will fire off the same skills twice (on different players) and when it has lost two body parts it will use these skill three times. This sharply increases TOTOM's damage output, and makes it increasingly difficult to keep up while they're low on health. TOTOM is also capable of healing itself once it has lost a totem, and will counter with this ability at low health. This also Blesses the TOTOM, which means the player should either capture the TOTOM once it nears this level of health or use Nuke to kill them outright.
While TOTOM starts with several weaknesses, it becomes more elementally resistant as it loses parts. The only two weaknesses that are constant are Dark and Fire, so the player should focus on attacking with those elements. TOTOM absorbs Holy, Bio and Earth, and with More Foe Resistance enabled it resists Water and Ice.
Lance has a particularly useful skillset for this fight, as he can alternate between Bullet Hell and Antimatter Flux to deal heavy damage each turn.
