Artwork of an Alchemist in Bloons TD 6 and Bloons TD Battles 2

Alchemists (Alchemist Monkeys in Bloons Card Storm) are monkeys that specialize in chemicals and potions with a variety of effects. They can use acidic or volatile compounds as weapons against Bloons or brew potions that empower or transform other monkeys.

Gameplay

Bloons TD series

Alchemists are Magic towers that attack Bloons by throwing flasks of acid that splash on contact, inflicting damage over time to Bloons in a small radius, and they have the innate ability to throw over line of sight blockers. Their upgrades allow them to produce other brews, such as potions that buff other nearby towers, chemicals that make MOAB-Class Bloons explode when they pop, potions that transform towers into monsters with laser vision, chemicals that transmute Bloons into gold to make them generate more cash, and shrink potions that can turn MOAB-Class Bloons into Red Bloons.

General information

Physical appearance

All of the Alchemist's crosspaths in BTD6

Alchemists are monkeys with orange skin and dark orange fur. The basic Alchemist wears a purple overcoat with yellow trims and rolled-up sleeves and cup goggles with yellow frames and purple lenses, but keeps the goggles above its eyes. In BTD6 and Battles 2, the overcoat is buttonless, while in Bloons Card Storm, it has a single clasp. Its acid is red and contained in small glass flasks, which are corked in-game, but uncorked in its artwork. Its upgrades change its appearance:

• Larger Potions adds a brown leather backpack. Its potions are larger and have a rubber band around the neck.
• Acidic Mixture Dip attaches a small keg of a green liquid to the side of its backpack.
• Berserker Brew replaces the backpack with a large wooden barrel and changes the color of its robes and goggles to orange. It administers brews with a wooden spoon in its left hand (though its portrait holds it in its right hand).
• Stronger Stimulant adds a second barrel, a chimney between the barrels that emits purple smoke, a brown leather aviator cap, bushy sideburns under its cap, and an X-shaped scar between its eyes. It uses a metal spoon instead of a wooden spoon.
• Permanent Brew increases the size of its barrels and chimney, removes the aviator cap, and gives it larger hair, a beard, and a mustache. It uses a wooden mug instead of a spoon.
• Stronger Acid adds white surgical gloves and changes the color of its acid to purple.
• Perishing Potions adds a black face mask and changes the color of its gloves to black.
• Unstable Concoction replaces its cup goggles and mask with large cover goggles that it wears over its eyes, replaces its purple overcoat with a white lab coat with gold trims that covers its arms and tail, and adds black shoes. It wields much larger bottles of chemicals with metal casings.
• Transforming Tonic
• Total Transformation
• Faster Throwing replaces its cup goggles with cover goggles with a large pink lens.
• Acid Pool replaces its overcoat with a purple suit with gold trims around the wrists and ankles, changes the lens color of its goggles to blue, and adds a belt with a pouch on the left side and pouches with smaller potions on the strap of its goggles.
• Lead to Gold
• Rubber to Gold
• Bloon Master Alchemist

Trivia

• Dr Monkey in Bloons Adventure Time TD has many similarities to the Alchemist in BTD6 and Battles 2. He can place chemicals on the track and can be upgraded to inflict damage over time and turn Bloons into gold.
• The Alchemist was considered to appear in Bloons Pop!, but was cut from the final game.
