'''Permanent Brew''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 1 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It upgrades the Alchemist's buffs - both [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]] and [[Stronger Stimulant (BTD6)|Stronger Stimulant]] - to become permanent instead of lasting only a limited time. Only newly thrown AMDs and brews are permanent, and brews cannot affect targets that already have a brew of any kind. If Permanent Brew is sold or sacrificed, all towers lose the buffs it had applied.

Permanent Brew is a very potent T5 for permanent [[Stronger Stimulant (BTD6)|Stronger Stimulant]] and [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]] buffs to large amounts of towers surrounding this Alchemist; each tower essentially gains +2 damage to Ceramics and MOAB-class with extra pierce, attack speed, and range. It's quite an expensive T5, but with an effective mid-game saveup, this can be afforded in [[CHIMPS]] in time for the mid-80's on most maps. It stands out the most on Least Cash Bosses, which demand an army of cheap highly buffable towers against all Boss stages, and extreme Freeplay, which demand maximum buffs on every tower on screen.

Permanent Brew is the Alchemist's path 1 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It upgrades the Alchemist's Acidic Mixture Dip and Stronger Stimulant to become permanent.

Only newly thrown dips and brews are permanent. Targets that currently have a weaker brew are not given permanent brew immediately; the buff has to run out first. If Permanent Brew is sold or sacrificed, all towers lose these buffs. Lych can steal the Permanent Brew buff.

The editor who added this notice elaborates: Mention of Lych?

Permanent Brew is an expensive upgrade, but with an effective midgame it can be afforded in CHIMPS in time for the mid-80's on most maps. It stands out the most on Least Cash Boss Events, which demand an army of cheap, highly buffable towers against all stages, and extreme Freeplay, which demands maximum buffs on every tower on screen. Some strong candidates for Permanent Brew include: Sun Avatar, 3-1-0 Destroyer, Bloonjitsu with Shinobi Tactics, and 2-0-4 Overdrive.

Despite its low range and the inability to be sold or sacrificed to retain its buff, there are multiple ways to counter this. The simplest is to use Support Chinook's Reposition ability to move it. Dark Knight and above can also be moved around the map to keep adding new targets later on. A few maps do have movable platforms that can allow Permanent Brew to keep finding new targets, with a notable example being Geared's smaller gear.

Permanent Brew largely does not require a crosspath, but Faster Throwing is optimal for time-sensitive scenarios such as Boss Events.

  • Buff Acidic Mixture Dip: No longer targets Nature's Ward Totems (bug fix)
  • Buff Acidic Mixture Dip: Now allows towers to damage DDTs (bug fix)
  • Neutral Acidic Mixture Dip: Can now target 5-X-X Monkey Villages (bug fix)
  • Buff Berserker Brew: No longer causes Phoenixes to stop attacking (bug fix)
  • Buff AMD: No longer targets Benjamin
    • Note: Brews still target Level 7+ Benjamin
  • Buff Can no longer apply dip to Monkey Villages without Primary Expertise (bug fix)
  • Nerf Brew: no longer applies the range buff twice (bug fix)
  • Buff Can no longer apply dip to Banana Farms (bug fix)
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $80,000 → $60,000
  • Buff Acidic Mixture Dip: Buff now lasts forever
  • Permabrew should correctly apply when reloading save again (bug fix)
  • Permabrew should no longer break in some cases after being sold (bug fix)
  • Nerf Acidic Mixture Dip buff: no longer applies +1 damage to Ceramics or MOAB-Class (bug)
  • Acidic Mixture Dip buff: now has a visual effect on buffed towers
  • "Buffs should no longer miss their target and buff another tower nearby" (bug fix)
  • Nerf Berserker Brew buff: no longer ignores towers that are already buffed (bug)
  • Berserker Brew buff: now has a visual effect on buffed towers
  • "Permabrew will correctly apply bonus damage from Acidic Mixture Dip and both Brew & Dip buffs should save and load correctly"
  • Buff Acidic Mixture Dip buff: now applies +1 damage to Ceramic and MOAB-Class Bloons (bug fix)
  • Change Now only shows a buff icon when AMD is applied
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $500 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Acidic Mixture Dip: Now allows Cold attacks to damage Lead Bloons (bug fix)
  • Buff Acidic Mixture Dip: Now allows Sharp attacks to damage Golden Bloons (bug fix)
  • Nerf Acidic Mixture Dip: No longer allows Explosion attacks to damage DDTs (bug fix)
5-0-1, 5-0-2
  • Buff Faster Throwing crosspath once again increases the rate of the Brew attack (bug fix)
Acidic Mixture Dip did nothing for Glue Gunners but alchemist would waste it on them
— Update notes
  • Neutral Acidic Mixture Dip will no longer pick Glue Gunners as valid buff targets
  • Neutral Acidic Mixture Dip: Can now target Glue Gunners with Corrosive Glue and above
  • Buff Base potion attack: no longer has single-layer damage (undocumented)
  • Nerf Acidic Mixture Dip max number of stacks reduced ― 200 → 40
Permanent Brew is strong in the right use, but just to let it live up to more of its potential without requiring a chinook we are improving its range.
— Update notes
  • Buff Range increased ― 45 → 65
Alchemist 220 stands out a little too effectively in the crosspath efficiency of Acidic Mixture Dip uptime combined with the reduced forced downtime at 320 and so is being reduced.
— Update notes
5-2-0
  • Nerf Acidic Mixture Dip: Crosspath bonus to Acidic Mixture Dip buff reduced ― +3 → +2
    • Note: Shot amount reduced from 13 to 12
Permabrew itself granting a range increase was annoying to prepare for and also somewhat hurt what was a very strong synergy for Chinook, so we’re taking away this bonus range but giving enough of a cash difference so that it can pair up with synergies like the Support Chinook more easily.
— Update notes
  • Buff Upgrade cost reduced ― $60,000 → $48,000
  • Nerf Range reduced ― 65 → 45
  • Nerf All buffing potions: Should no longer fall on other towers that aren't the intended target (bug fix)
    • Note: Patches an exploit regarding quickly buying a Permanent Brew and landing brew on towers not normally able to accept brew (e.g. Etienne, Beast Handlers, non-5xx Villages)
