Transforming Tonic's prime value is being a cheap standalone upgrade for adding extra DPS to an already support-oriented Unstable Concoction, which does collateral damage. The ability does fair single-target damage, and it's capable of self-synergizing with its own concoctions.
1-4-0 is usually the preferred crosspath, as the monster lasers gain a significant pierce boost with 1-4-0, and the greater concoction pierce also benefits the ability to handle hyperdense rounds. 0-4-1's attack speed is better versus single targets, though it's not as effective against dense rounds without external pierce buffs such as Obyn Greenfoot.

- 1-4-0, 2-4-0
Larger Potions now increases the radius of concoction splash by 7 units
- 0-4-2
- Faster Throwing now reduces the cooldown of the concoction attack by 20%
Concoction explosion: MOABs and BFBs now consume +1 pierce- Concoction explosion: ZOMGs and DDTs now consume +3 pierce
- Concoction explosion: BADs now consume +9 pierce
- Upgrade cost reduced ― $5,000 → $4,500

- Concoction explosion: No longer deals much more damage in a resumed game after granting the tower a damage buff in another game (e.g., Sun Temple support buffing it in Sandbox) (bug fix)
“
While the middle path T5 gets some use, T4 Transforming Tonic does not perform well for the low pierce amount so pierce has been increased.

- Transformed Alchemist: Pierce increased ― 4 → 6
- Unstable Concoction: Explosion damage no longer scales with Freeplay or HP modifiers in the Challenge Editor (undocumented)
- Unstable Concoction: Explosion damage for fortified blimps is the same as their unfortified counterparts (bug)
- Concoction explosion: Now deals double damage to Fortified Bloons (bug fix)
- Base potion attack: no longer has single-layer damage (undocumented)
“
Transforming Tonic has always had a large struggle with pierce, rather than directly throwing onto the base pierce we have added crosspathing pierce & rate benefits for transformation enjoyers to now choose between.

- 1-4-0, 2-4-0
- Monster: pierce increased ― 6 → 9
- 0-4-1, 0-4-2
- Monster: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.03s → 0.024s (attack speed increased by 25%)
“
Transforming Tonic has been compared to being a worse but more expensive Turbo Charge, and that seems like a fair complaint. T5 has good niche uses, but T4 isn't worth the cost right now so we’re adding more juice to the tonic.

- Monster laser: damage increased ― 2 → 3
- Note: Does not affect x-5-x mini monsters
“
Alchemist Transforming Tonic is in a weird spot with the transformation unable to attack through walls when the base alchemist is able to. Also with this, including a QoL fix for the T5 that currently prevents transformed towers from functioning with target priority.

”
- Transformed alchemist can now ignore line of sight
- Alchemist x4x/x5x no longer loses the ability to fire through obstacles when crosspathed (bug fix)
“
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. Total Transformation alchemist when transformed have never been allowing damage to distribute to children layers of any targets, while this is an option we can use as an intended balance lever - we have instead decided to turn this blocker off as it isn't one we have used elsewhere and has made these upgrades perform far weaker against regular Bloons comparatively to Ceramic & MOAB-class due to damage buffs that have been given to transformed alchemists over time.

- Ability: Damage now soaks through layers

- Acidic Mixture Dip: Crosspath bonus to Acidic Mixture Dip buff reduced ― +3 → +2
- Note: Shot amount reduced from 13 to 12
“
Currently 031 is the only crosspath that realistically does anything for Unstable Concoction.

- 1-4-0, 2-4-0
- Larger potions grants +1 pierce to Concoction ― 3 → 4
“
Middle path alchemists have complicated use cases that don’t bring enough of a payoff for the effort so the price is being reduced.

- Upgrade cost reduced ― $4,500 → $4,200
