'''Lead to Gold''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants all of the Alchemist's ~~damaging~~ attacks +9 [[Lead damage]], allowing them to destroy [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]] (including [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] ones) in one shot. ~~The Alchemist's damage-over-time effects are also granted~~ this ~~increased Lead damage~~.

'''Lead to Gold''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 3 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants all of the Alchemist's attacks and acid +9 [[Lead damage]], allowing them to destroy [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]] (including [[Fortified Bloon (BTD6)|Fortified]] ones) in one shot. Leads popped this way will generate $50 in addition to the normal pop income.

~~Coating a Lead Bloon with Lead to Gold and then popping it will earn an extra~~ $50 ~~in addition to the normal pop income. This additional income~~ is not affected by external buffs ~~such as~~ [[Monkey City (BTD6)|Monkey City]].

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]].

Lead to Gold is primarily used for ~~siphoning up~~ cash from Lead Bloons. ~~There are very few rounds that contain Lead Bloons, however, but good~~ in [[ABR|ABR rounds]] ~~and outstanding~~ specifically for Rounds 37 and 38 and on [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] Boss Events, which contain modified rounds that spawn far more Leads than usual. To avoid stolen Lead pops, ~~put~~ the ~~alchemist~~ at the beginning of the track ~~or don't use~~ other towers that pop Lead~~, if possible~~.

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), [[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.

The +9 bonus Lead damage is not ~~much~~ of ~~an improvement for~~ damaging ~~DDTs and~~ Dreadbloon~~, so should not~~ be ~~a serious way~~ to ~~handle either of them~~.

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. If using it against DDTs, 0-2-3 can be used.

Lead to Gold ~~(along with its upgrade [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]]~~, ~~which~~ is ~~harder~~ to ~~get down at the start due to its cost) is the most effective way to farm in [[List of rounds in Rogue Legends|Rogue Legends rounds]]~~, ~~as normal farms are nerfed and the rounds are modified to contain many more leads than usual. Early on there are more odd rounds with leads than even rounds with leads~~.
