'''Rubber to Gold''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It grants the Alchemist a new attack which throws a gold potion at Bloons. This gold potion deals no damage but applies a gold effect to Bloons, which makes them generate +~~200~~% pop income when popped. Additionally it disables [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead]], [[Black Bloon (BTD6)|Black]], [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple]], and [[White Bloon (BTD6)|White]] immunities~~~~ while affected by this effect. Its effects also apply to [[MOAB-Class Bloon|MOAB-Class]] bloons, including [[Boss Bloon|Boss Bloons]]. This status effect lasts for 14 seconds and soaks all non-blimp layers.

The pop income increase stacks additively with other towers that increase pop income such as [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]], [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]], and [[Pirate Lord (BTD6)|Pirate Lord]]. The gold effect soaks through non-MOAB-Class layers, but does not affect inner layers of MOAB-Class Bloons unless they are insta-killed. Pop income increase cannot affect [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]] or Boss Bloons.

Rubber to Gold is an effective way to generate cash from pops, provided it converts enough bloons to gold, which can be maximized by clumping them with no-damage slowdowns (especially 0-1-2 Glue) to maximize pierce of each gold potion. Compared to [[Bloon Trap (BTD6)|Bloon Trap]], Rubber to Gold lacks self-sufficient damage, but compensates with strong value against high-HP bloons, and both can be combined for maximum cash generation from pops. However, every new Rubber to Gold Alchemist has diminishing value, so buying just one or two is often enough per entrance.
