Strategy:Alchemist (BTD6): Difference between revisions
m →Path 2: Black Border makes no difference here |
m Black border actually does make some difference here, as correctly timing Tonic's ability often requires retrying last round a few times, which invalidates Black Borders but makes it useful for brute forcing through rounds for a Gold Border. |

* x-3-x [[Unstable Concoction (BTD6)|Unstable Concoction]] is powerful against [[MOAB-Class Bloon|blimp]]-heavy rounds like 94, 96, and 98, where the explosions deal extreme damage. However, it can create dangerous Super Ceramic rushes. | * x-3-x [[Unstable Concoction (BTD6)|Unstable Concoction]] is powerful against [[MOAB-Class Bloon|blimp]]-heavy rounds like 94, 96, and 98, where the explosions deal extreme damage.

* x-5-x [[Total Transformation (BTD6)|Total Transformation]] is expensive. Nonetheless, it is exceptional in specific strategies with [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobis]] or [[Druid of Wrath (BTD6)|Druids of Wrath]] (the latter being buffed with [[Poplust (BTD6)|Poplusts]]). Total Transformation also pairs well with [[Plasma Monkey Fan Club (BTD6)|Plasma Monkey Fan Club]], as the two [[Activated Ability|abilities]] can be combined for 100% uptime. | * x-5-x [[Total Transformation (BTD6)|Total Transformation]] is expensive.

* For all three upgrades above, Faster Throwing and {{B|Larger Potions|BTD6}} are roughly on-par for crosspathing purposes, The former provides stronger single-target damage, but the latter provides far superior grouped popping power. | * For all three upgrades above, Faster Throwing and {{B|Larger Potions|BTD6}} are roughly on-par for crosspathing purposes, The former provides stronger single-target damage, but the latter provides far superior grouped popping power. | ||

* x-x-4 [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] is useful as a cheap money maker, as its effects stack with [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]] and other buffs. | * x-x-3 [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead to Gold]] is useful for money generation against {{B|Dreadbloon|BTD6}}, which has custom rounds that greatly increase the abundance of Leads. It otherwise sees niche use for money generation on Rounds 37 and 38. | ||
* x-x-4 [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] is useful as a cheap money maker, as its effects stack with [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]] and other buffs. On blimps, it works best with towers that one-shot them, most notably {{B|XXXL Trap|BTD6}} and {{B|Pirate Lord|BTD6}}. | |||
* x-x-5 [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BTD6)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] (BMA) can be deadly with proper support, but it falls off past [[List of rounds in BTD6#Round 100|Round 100]] due to its inability to hit [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]]. The BMA also suffers from the same issues as [[Benjamin (BTD6)#Bloon Trojan|Benjamin's bloon trojan]]; it severely affects income as its shrink potion does not give any cash. | * x-x-5 [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BTD6)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] (BMA) can be deadly with proper support, but it falls off past [[List of rounds in BTD6#Round 100|Round 100]] due to its inability to hit [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]].
