'''Lead to Gold''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.
'''Lead to Gold''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />All of the Alchemist's attacks and acid deal +9 [[Lead damage]], dealing enough destroy a whole [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]] (including a [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] Lead) in one shot. 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" />
 
Cash generated from Lead Bloons that were affected by the Lead to Gold effect will not<!--remove "not" in 57.0--> be tracked to the Alchemist that applied the mutator.

{{Strategy needed|Elaborate the money-making use case, somewhat of the damage niche to Lead properties, and some more strategies to maximize use of Lead to Gold. Also, find the optimum round for beginning LTG on Dreadbloon Bosses (r31 was suggested, but r30 seems reasonable too?)}}
{{BTD6 last updated|56.3|section=y}}
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 and other purely farming sources 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.
 
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, though it is still expensive compared to other options.
 
An uncrosspathed Lead to Gold is suitable for purely cash generation purposes, but 1-0-3 improves consistency against Leads. Skip 2-0-3 since it is actively harmful by granting lead popping to nearby towers. If using it against DDTs, 0-2-3 can be used.
