How to Stack Totems in Roblox Dig
Dig Roblox has a system where you will be able to stack the effects of different totems together. However, you will only be able to have up to three totems active in the same spot. You will then be able to combine three effects together to make the most of your time farming for loot and XP in the game.
Moreover, as effects apply to every player who is in the circle, it’s best to cooperate with your friends to help your hand reap the maximum benefits from it.
