Totem Potions Return for the 4th Cycle: Get Ready to Upgrade Your Totems!
July 17, 2025

You asked, and we listened. Totem Potions are officially making their comeback in Upland!
As we get ready for the 4th Totem cycle, we’re thrilled to bring back these powerful elixirs that players have been waiting for. Totem Potions give you the chance to upgrade and evolve your Totems, making them stronger and more efficient than ever.
Whether you’ve saved potions from past events or want to grab the new batches available this cycle, now’s the perfect time to prepare your Totems for what’s ahead. Just remember: evolving a Totem means burning one of your current Totems, and you’ll only be able to burn one this cycle. It’s a big choice, but the rewards can be worth it. (Heads up: the Golden Llama is the only Totem that cannot be upgraded.)
The next Totem cycle is just weeks away, and we’ll be announcing the exact date soon. Get ready to level up your Totems and make your mark!
What Are Totem Potions?
There are two main types of Totem Potions: one required to begin the process and the other to level up your totem. Only one totem per player will be counted, and if a player burns more than one, we will only count the last one burned within the window and prior totems will be lost. This same rule applies to Evolution potions, only the last burned evolution will be counted.
Evolution Potion
This potion is essential for initiating the leveling-up process of your totem, serving as the starting point for its transformation. To begin, you’ll need to burn one of these potions along with your totem.
The evolution potion should match the totem you’re burning or you will receive a -20 point penalty on the leaderboard for the mismatch. This penalty only applies to the evolution potion.

Level Up Potion
After you’ve activated your upgrade with the evolution potion, the extent of the upgrade depends on the level potions used. The more points you earn, the higher your totem will be prioritized for an upgrade from a predetermined list of upgrades.
These potions vary based on level, color, and style. To maximize your position on the leaderboard, the color and style of your Level Up Potion x match your totem. Burning these potions earns you points on the Upgrade Leaderboard, which will be updated every few hours once live. The upgrade process is guaranteed, but the outcome is determined by the points you accumulate.

The higher you are on the leaderboard, the better your chances of obtaining the most advanced totem, with upgrades possible in one or more of its traits.
Points System for Upgrades:
- Level 1 = 1 point
- If color matches +2
- If style matches +2
Total possible: 5 Points - Level 2 = 2 points
- If color matches +3
- If style matches +3
Total possible: 8 Points - Level 3 = 3 points
- If color matches +5

Total possible: 13 Points
