An issue with the Totems is that they... Destroy the action economy of the enemy.
Their low HP is kind of deceptive and could better be thought of as "One hit" with only Revenge skills taking them down a peg.
For 1 ap you waste 1-3ap of the opponent.
So the fact that they only fire the round after, isn't really a point against them. I'd consider using a move that destroys the AP of my opponent.
