New Character Prototype: Character 6

The new charcter's main tactic revolves around a skill called “Place Totem”, which drops an object onto an enemy tile. This object can then be manipulated to deal damage and inflict debuffs on nearby targets.

One major bonus to this skill is that the object will block enemies from occupying the tile that it’s placed on. We're interested to see what players will do with this, and how it'll affect positioning in play, or be used to disrupt enemy formations. We'd also love to hear any feedback people have about the concept!
