I am coming through to make a mark on each of these totem style towers that provide a 200 range aura.
They have brought many unique effects to the game which have a lot of appeal and fit in with certain builds, and that's great.
I want to see more from them.
Even the most aura of aura towers at unique have some additional function that makes them stand out from a rare. Kodo has it's devour, time manipulator the damage field, time vault sends things back in time, steam engine the management of it's power level, etc.
A unique tower simply needs to be more than just a powerful aura.

As I always insist on adding suggestions; for this tower I suggest;
On hit % chance to apply a Frost Brand. Targets with Frost Brand take additional Elemental damage (or have vulnerability to Elemental damage, whichever way makes the most sense).

In all your examples, those auras are just normal stat buffs. The uniqueness of these totems is that the aura is not the usual stats.

Your suggestion isn't really possible. Weakness to a specific attack type isn't an attribute that exists (but maybe it could be in the future). Like, it could be achieved with an onDamage event that checks attacker's attack type, but I'd rather create something common between all totems. Like for each unit affected by the aura, the aura gets stronger, rewarding placement.
