The Acid Pool upgrade attempts to make Alchemist function as a more consistent offensive tower, but its weak power and lack of synergy to build off of make the upgrade almost useless. Even with several pools built up in a row, the same 5 Bloons will trigger all of them and limit its ability to spread the potion debuff. It provides no benefits for top or middle path Alchemists, except the lower tiers of middle path, and is unrelated to the rest of the bottom path. The pools themselves can steal [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] income,<!--mentioned above upgrades bc this is specific to the pool--> which is why some players avoid {{BTD6 mk|Acid Stability}}. | The Acid Pool upgrade attempts to make Alchemist function as a more consistent offensive tower, but its weak power and lack of synergy to build off of make the upgrade almost useless.

Since all the pools will damage the same target, Acid Pools have niche use for damaging the R40 [[Alternate Bloons Rounds]] Fortified MOAB with a 0-2-2 crosspath for massively increased damage for cheap. It is not strong enough to pop the layer by itself, and | Since all the pools will damage the same target, Acid Pools have niche use for damaging the R40 [[Alternate Bloons Rounds]] Fortified MOAB with a 0-2-2 crosspath for massively increased damage for cheap. It is not strong enough to pop the layer by itself, and the [[MOAB Mauler (BTD6)|MOAB Mauler]] for similar cost is more consistent on maps with good coverage.<!--mauler 2025 030 medium 51.0, 022 alch 2375 medium 51.0--><!-- This is really about it, this upgrade is very bad. --> | ||
