'''Faster Throwing''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It reduces the [[attack cooldown]] of ~~all attacks~~ by 20% (for an attack speed increase of 25%). The main potion is thrown every 1.6s instead of 2~~.0s~~.

'''Faster Throwing''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 3 tier 1 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. <section begin="lede" />This upgrade reduces the Alchemist's [[attack cooldown]] of every attack by 20% (for an attack speed increase of 25%). The main potion is thrown every 1.6 seconds instead of 2.

This increased attack speed includes ~~the~~ throwing speed of buff potions by [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]] and subsequent upgrades. ~~It also includes the attack cooldown~~ of ~~the~~ Alchemist's eye beams while under its own [[Transforming Tonic (BTD6)|Transforming Tonic]] or [[Total Transformation (BTD6)|Total Transformation]] ability. The unstable potion from [[Unstable Concoction (BTD6)|Unstable Concoction]] ~~also attacks faster~~.

This increased attack speed includes:

* The throwing speed of buff potions by [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]] and subsequent upgrades. AMD potions are thrown every 8 seconds instead of 10, and brews every 6.4 seconds instead of 8.

* The Alchemist's eye beams while under its own [[Transforming Tonic (BTD6)|Transforming Tonic]] or [[Total Transformation (BTD6)|Total Transformation]] ability, from 0.03 to 0.024 seconds.

* The unstable potion from [[Unstable Concoction (BTD6)|Unstable Concoction]], from 6 to 4.8 seconds.<section end="lede" />

~~==Costs and sell values==~~

Not a very cost-efficient upgrade for what it does offensively, being less efficient than another Alchemist, so it must be crosspathed to be worth it. It is often used for path 1 Alchemist's buffing potions to increase its rate, but more notable on [[Permanent Brew (BTD6)|Permanent Brew]]. Path 2's [[Unstable Concoction (BTD6)|Unstable Concoction]] has more consistency against faster blimps and has a better rate of application than [[Larger Potions (BTD6)|Larger Potions]] if given at least +2 flat pierce from other sources, while [[Transforming Tonic (BTD6)|Transforming Tonic]] and [[Total Transformation (BTD6)|Total Transformation]] use this crosspath when needing more single-target DPS instead of pierce.

* Before [[Bloons TD 6 ~~v21~~.0|Update v21.0]], Faster Throwing was the Tier 2 upgrade of the Alchemist and was swapped with the [[Acid Pool (BTD6)|Acid Pool]] upgrade.

* Before [[Update history:Bloons TD 6/Version 21.0|Update v21.0]], Faster Throwing was the Tier 2 upgrade of the Alchemist and was swapped with the [[Acid Pool (BTD6)|Acid Pool]] upgrade.
