The reason i write this thread because many players don't know how to use their totem in a pro way. They just make things worst for the map, or sometimes ruin the map. As a player have 4 years playing this game, i'm gotta show you how.
1. Don't use totem when the map is not suitable with the totem
-True, if you use the totem on these unsuitable maps, it will ruin the map.
2. Think about the totem that could use in many maps, reason why, see the 1st opinion.
3. Know the weekness and advantage of your totem.
- You have to know it in order to use them an effective way.
In the end, i would like to know what is the name of your totem, and how do you use it

What are your totem tips?

Uhh Thanks for letting me know i kond of got it when i turned to a leval 40. And i was happy But thanks for letting me know!

my totem is effective in only one way
killing
my rune snake takes all my saves and drives them to a bottomless pit :^(
but i still love him as a pet

Also take into consideration that your overlapping mess of boxes and planks may not be the best choice of totem. Experiment.

Bridge totems are only useful in vanilla and very few user maps.

Just make a b-plank totem for normal rooms or don't use one at all, I personally don't use one at all because it's more fun that way.

My totem is an invisible B anchored small plank.

Bridge totems are really annoying and useless, they're only good at vanilla, as shadow said, It's much better to have a simple B plank instead.

If the majority of it is invisible, it is fine. As long as you know where not to put the monster, it can pretty much serve as a plug for a hole.

4 years ago was 22nd January, 2010. Was Transformice even in existence then? O_o I mean for general players. I'm aware it may have been in the early stages of development.

The first account, which was Tig's, was created on May 14, 2010 (1,349 days ago). Also totems weren't out until sometime in 2011

I've used only 3 totems, one was a triangle totem, simple b plank, and currently and the one I've had for the longest time, a b plank with c and v nails. It's gotten me 111000 hardmode saves (:

A broken plank connected by a B anchor and has 8-12 runes attached with C anchors. I call it Bob the Reverse Plank.

Keep it little, compact and versatile.

Thanks for the tips, It will be helpful for many new players out there trying hardmode for the first time. +1 :p

The totem is effective everywhere , know why ?

My totem is a Red Dot .

I recommend not using a red dot, but a b box or plank instead. Why? Because if you miss, you get no totem.

Same.I have a funfair ride as my totem and I don't even use it.#LAIKABAWS!

I use a single ice/choco plank with a b anchor on it. I used to have a solid one with a rune in the middle for a stable platform, then they removed skills in totems ;-;
I say a b plank is the singlemost effective totem, it works on every map.
