After popping a Lead Bloon (not simply a Bloon with Lead properties) affected by these attacks, it will generate $50 in addition to the normal pop income.<!--pre-23.0, the alch just needs to apply it then the Lead needs to pop eventually then, boom, $50--> | ||
The normal pop income is affected by external buffs such as [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]] as usual. The $50 bonus is not affected by external buffs including [[Monkey City (BTD6)|Monkey City]], but is affected by [[Double Cash Mode (BTD6)|Double Cash Mode]].<section end="lede" /> | |||

Lead to Gold is primarily used for gaining extra cash from Lead Bloons. It is much better in [[ABR|ABR rounds]] (specifically for Rounds 37 and 38)<!--r28 and r30 are too expensive vs normal Farms-->, [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] Boss Events, and [[List of rounds in Rogue Legends|Rogue Legends]] (especially since farms are less efficient), which contain modified rounds that spawn far more Leads than usual. To avoid stolen Lead pops, place the Alchemist at the beginning of the track and avoid other towers that pop Lead. | Lead to Gold is primarily used for gaining extra cash from Lead Bloons.

The +9 bonus Lead damage is not an effective way of damaging Dreadbloon. In niche situations it can be the cheapest option for getting just enough damage to beat DDTs. An uncrosspathed Lead to Gold is suitable, but 1-0-3 improves consistency against Leads. Skip 2-0-3 since it is actively harmful by granting lead popping to nearby towers. | The +9 bonus Lead damage is not an effective way of damaging Dreadbloon.
