'''Unstable Concoction''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 2 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants the Alchemist an additional concoction attack which can only target [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]]. This attack has a [[Attack ~~Cooldown~~|cooldown]] of 6 seconds (4.8 seconds with 0-3-1), has 3 [[pierce]] (4 pierce with 1-3-0), and has a range of 67.5 [[Unit|units]] which is 50% larger than that the Alchemist itself.

It grants the Alchemist an additional concoction attack which can only target [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class Bloons]]. This attack has a [[Attack speed|cooldown]] of 6 seconds (4.8 seconds with 0-3-1), has 3 [[pierce]] (4 pierce with 1-3-0), and has a range of 67.5 [[Unit|units]] which is 50% larger than that the Alchemist itself.

This attack deals no direct damage, but applies an unstable effect on its targets which causes an explosion when their outer layers are popped. This explosion has 50 [[pierce]] and can damage any Bloon type, except for [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] (unless the Alchemist had Camo detection when concoction was applied). The explosion does not damage the children of the Bloon that the concoction was applied to.

==Strategy==

Unstable Concoction is a highly cost-effective support against dense late game rounds such as 96 and 98, however ~~it's~~ tendency to leave massive amounts of MOABs and [[Ceramic Bloon (BTD6)|Ceramic Bloons]] behind means a powerful cleanup tower is mandatory, such as [[Perma-Spike (BTD6)|Perma-Spike]]. Avoid using this tower if such cleanup is not being run, as many defenses will fail to handle the horde of weaker Bloons.

[[Larger Potions (BTD6)|Larger Potions]] is the preferred crosspath, as it will result in more targets being given the unstable effect than [[Faster Throwing (BTD6) (Alchemist)|Faster Throwing]].

[[Larger Potions (BTD6)|Larger Potions]] is the preferred crosspath, as it will result in more targets being given the unstable effect than [[Faster Throwing (BTD6) (Alchemist)|Faster Throwing]], and its main prey are the slower BFBs and ZOMGs, though Faster Throwing would be more efficient if given at least +2 pierce from buffs such as [[Obyn Greenfoot (BTD6)|Obyn Greenfoot]].
