'''Bloon Master Alchemist''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants the Alchemist a new attack, which throws a shrink potion at Bloons.

The shrink potion has infinite range, always targets Strong, and has 200 pierce with an [[Attack speed|attack cooldown]] of 10 seconds. However, all [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s consume more pierce ([[MOAB (BTD6)|MOABs]]: 20, [[BFB (BTD6)|BFBs]] and [[DDT (BTD6)|DDTs]]: 50, [[ZOMG (BTD6)|ZOMGs]]: 100). The shrink potion cannot target or affect [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]] or [[Boss Bloon|Boss Bloons]]. It can target [[Test Bloon|Test Bloons]] and their [[MOAB Test Bloon|MOAB version]], but cannot affect them. It requires support to affect [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]]. | ||

In reality, its main use is speeding up rounds in [[Freeplay]] by instantly killing [[blimps]] besides {{BTD6|BAD}}s. BMA is a suitable tower to limit pierce-capping for low-pierce [[Paragon]]s, making it the most efficient non-Paragon method for this. Converted blimps do not count towards [[Sapper]] or other [[achievements]] besides [[Bloon Master Populous|its own]]. Crosspaths do not affect its shrink potion. | ||
For normal gameplay, it is inferior to other towers around its price range, such as {{BTD6|Bloon Crush}}, {{BTD6|Master Bomber}}, and {{BTD6|XXXL Trap}}. These towers cover lower tier blimps much more consistently while providing stall utility, good BAD damage, or income generation. Combined with the fact that BMA actually loses cash when converting Bloons, all these reasons make this tower unusable for [[CHIMPS]]. | For normal gameplay, it is inferior to other towers around its price range, such as {{BTD6|Bloon Crush}}, {{BTD6|Master Bomber}}, and {{BTD6|XXXL Trap}}.
