Energizing Totem

"Let's Energize! This totem will increase attack speed of all Monkeys in range by 25%. Lasts 5 rounds and can be recharged."

- BTD6 description

Energizing Totem is a Power in BTD6, first released on Version 5.0. When placed, it grants all nearby towers with 25% extra attack speed for 5 rounds. After it expires, it can be recharged for 20 to last another 5 rounds. Each Energizing Totem costs 80.

Energizing Totem can be placed on any land spot and consumes a footprint equivalent to Dart Monkey.

Summary
Energizing Totem provides an attack speed boosts for towers nearby. Compared to Monkey Boost, it is placement-dependent power that increases attack speed by +25% for up to 5 rounds, rather than for up to 15 seconds. Its benefit stacks on top of any other attack speed buffs, but it is quite underpowered for its cost and is mainly used in extreme late-game runs to full-on maximize attack speed of any super powerful towers.

Tips

 * Energizing Totem can stack attack speed buffs from Alchemist brews (Berserker Brew, Stronger Stimulant, Permanent Brew), Jungle Drums, Call to Arms or Homeland Defense, Overclock, Ultraboost's permanent attack speed buffs, and Sun Temples or True Sun God with Support sacrifices.
 * Energizing Totem's most impactful usage is perhaps after a player has left the game and certain buffs/abilities will need time to reapply. Energizing Totem can help bridge the gap during this time. This strategy is usually only used in Deep Freeplay games.

Trivia

 * According to a graph shown in a Ninja Kiwi blog post, the Energizing Totem is the least-used power in the game.
