Lead to Gold is primarily used for siphoning up cash from Lead Bloons. There are very few rounds that contain Lead Bloons, however, but good in [[ABR|ABR rounds]] and outstanding specifically for Rounds 37 and 38<!--r28 and r30 are too expensive vs normal Farms--> and on [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] Boss Events, which contain modified rounds that spawn far more Leads than usual. To avoid stolen Lead pops, place the Alchemist at the beginning of the track and avoid other towers that pop Lead, if possible.
Lead to Gold is primarily used for gaining extra cash from Lead Bloons. It is much better in [[ABR|ABR rounds]] (specifically for Rounds 37 and 38)<!--r28 and r30 are too expensive vs normal Farms-->, [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]] Boss Events, and [[List of rounds in Rogue Legends|Rogue Legends]] (especially since farms are less efficient), which contain modified rounds that spawn far more Leads than usual. To avoid stolen Lead pops, place the Alchemist at the beginning of the track and avoid other towers that pop Lead.


The +9 bonus Lead damage is not much of an improvement for damaging DDTs and Dreadbloon, so should not be a serious way to handle either of them.
The +9 bonus Lead damage is not an effective way of damaging Dreadbloon. In niche situations it can be the cheapest option for getting just enough damage to beat DDTs. An uncrosspathed Lead to Gold is suitable, but 1-0-3 improves consistency against Leads. Skip 2-0-3 since it is actively harmful by granting lead popping to nearby towers.
 
Lead to Gold (along with its upgrade [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]], which is harder to get down at the start due to its cost) is the most effective way to farm in [[List of rounds in Rogue Legends|Rogue Legends rounds]], as normal farms are nerfed and the rounds are modified to contain many more leads than usual. Early on, odd rounds contain more Leads compared to the even rounds.
 
For crosspaths, uncrosspathed is fine if only for income vs Leads, however 1-0-3 does improve consistency against Leads and transitions well for Rubber to Gold. 0-2-3 is better defensively, though it remains inferior for DDT defense. 2-0-3's AMD can be actively harmful.
