Its main draw are the buffs that the top path can provide that can significantly improve a player's defenses. Its income generation from bloons is decent in early-to-midgame rounds with [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead to Gold]] and [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]]. Middle path and the lower-tier upgrades offers supplementary damage. | ||

*[[Perishing Potions (BTD6)|Perishing Potions]] does fairly high damage against Fortified MOAB-class for its cost, and for top path Alchemists its supports last longer. | |||
*[[Faster Throwing (BTD6) (Alchemist)|Faster Throwing]] is more efficient as a crosspath, and mainly for top path Alchemists to support towers faster. | |||

* x-3-x [[Unstable Concoction (BTD6)|Unstable Concoction]] is powerful against [[MOAB-Class Bloon|blimp]]-heavy rounds like 94, 96, and 98, where the explosions deal extreme damage. However, it can create dangerous Super Ceramic rushes. | * x-3-x [[Unstable Concoction (BTD6)|Unstable Concoction]] is powerful against [[MOAB-Class Bloon|blimp]]-heavy rounds like 94, 96, and 98, where the explosions deal extreme damage.

* x-4-x [[Transforming Tonic (BTD6)|Transforming Tonic]] is a powerful tower for its cost, shining in both mid-game and late-game. However, its reliance on its ability limits its usability for Black Borders in CHIMPS, as getting the timing right for certain rounds can be RNG-dependent. | * x-4-x [[Transforming Tonic (BTD6)|Transforming Tonic]] is a powerful tower for its cost, shining in both mid-game and late-game.

* x-x-3 [[Lead to Gold (BTD6)|Lead to Gold]] is useful for money generation against {{B|Dreadbloon|BTD6}}, which has custom rounds that greatly increase the abundance of Leads. It otherwise sees niche use for money generation on Rounds 37 and 38. | The third and fourth upgrades of bottom path make income from bloons. The fifth upgrade loses income in exchange for removing strong targets weaker than a BAD. | ||

* x-x-4 [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] is useful as a cheap money maker, as its effects stack with [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]] and other buffs. On blimps, it works best with towers that one-shot them, most notably {{B|XXXL Trap|BTD6}} and {{B|Pirate Lord|BTD6}}. | * x-x-4 [[Rubber to Gold (BTD6)|Rubber to Gold]] is useful as a cheap money maker, as its effects stack with [[Monkey Town (BTD6)|Monkey Town]] and other buffs.

* x-x-5 [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BTD6)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] (BMA) can be deadly with proper support, but it falls off past [[List of rounds in BTD6#Round 100|Round 100]] due to its inability to hit [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]]. The BMA also suffers from the same issues as [[Benjamin (BTD6)#Bloon Trojan|Benjamin's bloon trojan]]; it severely affects income as its shrink potion does not give any cash. | * x-x-5 [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BTD6)|Bloon Master Alchemist]] (BMA) can be deadly with proper support, but it falls off past [[List of rounds in BTD6#Round 100|Round 100]] due to its inability to hit [[BAD (BTD6)|BADs]].
