If Berserker Brew's rebuff cooldown cared about the potion giver, then 8 3-2-0 Alchemists would give a Sun Avatar 100% buff uptime. This does not happen, sadly. Also mentioned the potential issue of too high uptime cutting buff efficiency. |

'''Berserker Brew''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It allows the Alchemist to throw an additional potion to towers within its range, which grants them the Berserker Brew buff. This buff grants towers +1 [[damage]], +2 [[pierce]], +10% range, and reduces their [[attack cooldown]] by 10% (for an increase of ~11.11% in attack speed). This buff lasts for 25 shots or 5 seconds (40 shots or 6 seconds with 3-2-0) on a tower, whichever is shorter. Berserker Brew throws this buff potion once every 8 seconds. | '''Berserker Brew''' is the [[Alchemist (BTD6)|Alchemist]]'s path 1 tier 3 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

This brew is best applied onto towers that attack moderately fast but have multiple projectiles per shot, such as [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]], [[Triple Guns (BTD6)|Triple Guns]], and [[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD6)|Neva-Miss Targeting]], as well as decently fast-attacking towers with plenty of projectiles per shot such as [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]] and 3-1-0 [[Destroyer (BTD6)|Destroyer]]. Avoid [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkey]] unless it's a [[Sun Avatar (BTD6)|Sun Avatar]], as the others consume the buff too quickly to be worth the investment. Always place Berserker Brew towards the closest tower, which it will always try to buff, and avoid having other towers in range, or else they can steal the [[Acidic Mixture Dip (BTD6)|Acidic Mixture Dip]] buff. | This brew is best applied onto towers that attack moderately fast but have multiple projectiles per shot, such as [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsu]], [[Triple Guns (BTD6)|Triple Guns]], and [[Neva-Miss Targeting (BTD6)|Neva-Miss Targeting]], as well as decently fast-attacking towers with plenty of projectiles per shot such as [[Overdrive (BTD6)|Overdrive]] and 3-1-0 [[Destroyer (BTD6)|Destroyer]].

[[Acid Pool (BTD6)|Acid Pool]] is avoided because it has no impact on the brews. Crosspathing can help a tower get higher uptime on brew buffs, but if brew uptime would pass 100%, the Berserker Brew Alchemist can start tossing potions to other towers instead, abruptly cutting uptime in half if handled poorly. | ||
