The Acid Pool upgrade attempts to make Alchemist function as a more consistent offensive tower, but its weak power and lack of synergy to build off of make the upgrade almost useless. Even with several pools built up in a row, the same 5 Bloons will trigger all of them and limit its ability to spread the potion debuff. It provides no benefits for top or middle path Alchemists, except the lower tiers of middle path, and is unrelated to the rest of the bottom path. The pools themselves can steal [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] income,<!--mentioned above upgrades bc this is specific to the pool--> which is why some players avoid {{BTD6 mk|Acid Stability}}. | The Acid Pool upgrade attempts to make Alchemist function as a more consistent offensive tower, but its weak power and lack of synergy to build off of make the upgrade almost useless.

Since all the pools will damage the same target, Acid Pools have niche use for damaging the R40 [[Alternate Bloons Rounds]] Fortified MOAB with a 0-2-2 crosspath for massively increased damage. It is not strong enough to pop the layer by itself and | Since all the pools will damage the same target, Acid Pools have niche use for damaging the R40 [[Alternate Bloons Rounds]] Fortified MOAB with a 0-2-2 crosspath for massively increased damage for cheap. It is not strong enough to pop the layer by itself, and for higher price points there are far more efficient anti-MOAB options (e.g. 0-3-2 {{BTD6|MOAB SHREDR}}, [[MOAB Mauler (BTD6)|MOAB Mauler]]).<!-- This is really about it, this upgrade is very bad. --> | ||
