By the way, Oil Mist does only work against regular ranged attackers - Mages are unaffected.
As for Totems, I speak from experience as I played The Legend with Orc Shamans on the first go - the positive and negative effects of the Totem only work for Level 1-4. The Totem of Death does damage Level 5 units, not sure if the Totem of Life heals Level 5s, because I was using Black Dragons and they were immune to that. Dancing Axes does heal Black Dragons (at least in Legends), though.

Regarding Crossworlds,
Partially correct regarding only affects regular ranged attackers and mages. There is no additional penalty applied (the -70% ranged damage or whatever) if the target is melee or a mage. However, Oil Mist technically affects ALL level 4s and to GREAT effect. What do I mean? Not only does it increase the damage to fire, it counts as a negative status effect, which lowers morale, and in turn lowers both their attack rating, and defense rating.
It is pretty scary how much longer my Ancient Phoenix lasts with Oil Mist + Ancient Phoenix since their first strike now does a LOT more damage, so the retaliation does less. Retaliation also does less because of a lower attack rating. I also have Belt of the Victor, which works on Ancient Phoenixes... mwhaha.
Keep hitting the "weak guy" to get a no retaliation on the "strong guy", and you can make him last longer. Even if he dies, I can restore him, since Ancient Phoenix and Dragon of Chaos can be used in the same round they are summoned, sometimes they can kill my Ancient Phoenix permanently in a round, and I can instantly restore him BACK in the same spot, to continue fighting.
Totem of Death hurts level 5s, but does not appear to do any negative status effect to them (bummer), so it does not slow them down or debuff them further for negative morale.
Totem of Life works as you say, not as the description says.
My lack of playing the earlier versions has hurt me here!
Dancing Axes STILL heals Black Dragons though!
