Upgrades

Enhance Path

Berserker Brew

Tier 1

Get increased attack speed while standing in pools.

This upgrade causes the whole team to gain a 50% attack speed buff (100% with the Level 2 version) while the Hero stands on top of an acid pool. All acid pools apply the buff, including those created by other Alchemist Monkeys (which may be a bug). Standing on multiple acid pools at the same time does not stack the buff.

Potent Mixture

Tier 2

Berskerker Brew also increases damage and pierce.

This upgrade causes the whole team to additionally gain +50% damage and +50% pierce while affected by the Alchemist Monkey's Berserker Brew buff.

Bulky Potions

Tier 2

Increase pool size.

This upgrade increases the radius of the Alchemist Monkey's normal potion pools by 50%. It does not affect special potion pools created with Chemical Wager or its subsequent upgrades.

One For The Road

Tier 3

Periodically give Berserker Brew to one monkey even if not in a pool.

This upgrade unlocks a second attack that applies a buff to a random Monkey in the team (including itself and the Hero), lasting for 5 seconds each time. It applies every 15 seconds (10 seconds with the Level 2 version) and benefits from attack speed buffs. The buff has the same effect as Berserker Brew, including the bonuses from Berserker Brew Level 2 and Potent Mixture, but it is separate and stacks with Berserker Brew while standing on an acid pool.

Slippy Potions

Tier 4

Get increased movement and evasion after touching a pool.

This upgrade causes the Alchemist Monkey's potion pools to apply a buff to the Hero that grants +20% movement speed (+50% with the Level 2 version) and +50% evasion for 3 seconds (7.5 seconds with the Level 2 version) after stepping on it. Stepping on a potion pool while the buff is already active does not refresh the duration.

Dream Team

Tier 4

One For The Road now affects all monkeys.

This upgrade causes One For The Road to apply the buff to all monkeys on the team, instead of one random monkey, whenever it triggers. The Level 2 version of this upgrade also increases the duration of One For The Road's buff to 8 seconds.

Transmute Path

Sticky Potions

Tier 1

Acid slows down Bloons.

Savage Concoction

Tier 2

Acid deals damage faster.

This upgrade increases the rate its main attack's acid effect deals damage over time at by 50%. It does not affect the fire pools from Chemical Wager.

Stronger Acid

Tier 2

Increase the duration of potion effects.

This upgrade increases the lifespan of the Alchemist Monkey's potion pools, and the duration of the damage over time they apply to Bloons, by 50%. With Chem Trail, it also increases the lifespan of its acid clouds by 50%, and with Chemical Wager, it also increases the duration of fire from its fire potions by 50%. It does not affect the duration of any other potion effects.

Chem Trail

Tier 3

Clouds of fumes follow the Alchemist Monkey, coating Bloons in acid.

This upgrade unlocks an attack that places a cloud projectile at the Alchemist Monkey's position at a rate of 10 times per second. The clouds apply the same damage over time effect as the basic potion attack (including the stat boosts from Stronger Acid and Savage Concoction) to Bloons on contact, and do not stack with the potion DoT. Each cloud lasts for 3 seconds (4.5 seconds with the Level 2 version).

Beast Mode

Tier 4

Transforms into a monster after popping 100 Bloons.

Detonative Compound

Tier 4

Bloons popped by acid can explode, leaving an acidic cloud.

This upgrade causes Bloons that pop with the Alchemist Monkey's acid to have a 5% chance (10% with the Level 2 version) to explode into a cloud of fumes. The fumes afflict Bloons that touch it with the same acid effect as the Alchemist Monkey's acid pools, including the chance for popped Bloons to explode and create more clouds, allowing for chain reactions. (The chance for subsequent Bloons to explode is always 5%, even with the Level 2 version.)

Chaos Path

Chemical Wager

Tier 1

Potions gain several random effects.

This upgrade causes every third potion thrown by the Alchemist Monkey's main attack (every second potion with the Level 2 version) to have one of the following effects, chosen at random:

• Creates a regular acid pool with a 50% larger radius than normal
• Creates a gold pool that has the same damage over time as a normal acid pool, but also causes affected Bloons to drop one extra experience orb when popped
• Creates a yellow pool that has the same damage over time as a normal acid pool, but also causes experience dropped by affected Bloons that pop to collect itself automatically
• Creates a blue pool that slows Bloons by 50% for 1 second, instead of applying damage over time
• Creates a fire pool with damage over time that deals 3 damage every 0.5 seconds for 2 seconds, instead of the usual acid effect
• Creates an explosion that deals 20 damage (but cannot crit) with infinite pierce and a 25% larger radius, instead of leaving an acid pool
• Creates a flash that deals 10 damage (but cannot crit) with infinite pierce and stuns Bloons for 3 seconds, instead of leaving an acid pool

Make It Rain

Tier 2

Sometimes throws multiple potions at once.

This upgrade causes the Alchemist Monkey to throw five potions at a time instead of one on every fourth attack. It throws the extra potions in a circle with even spacing between the acid pools and the same distance from the thrower as the main potion. Each additional potion counts towards Chemical Wager's shot counter and can have a random effect from it.

Faster Throwing

Tier 2

Increase attack speed

This upgrade increases the attack speed of all of its attacks (including One For The Road or Chem Trail if crosspathed) by 100%.

Applied Sciences

Tier 3

Potions now emit two random effects on impact.

This upgrade causes potions affected by Chemical Wager to have two random effects (three with the Level 2 version) of different types instead of one.

Raising Chances

Tier 4

Chemical Wager is now applied to every potion.

Substance Manipulator

Tier 4

Buff all effect^[sic] applied by Chemical Wager.

This upgrade enhances all of Chemical Wager's random effects:

• The big acid pool is 100% larger (150% larger with the Level 2 version)
• The gold pool causes Bloons to drop two additional experience orbs (three with the Level 2 version) instead of one
• The yellow pool additionally causes Bloons to drop one additional experience orb (two with the Level 2 version)
• The blue pool slows Bloons 25% more (90% more with the Level 2 version)
• The fire pool deals 100% more damage per tick (150% more with the Level 2 version)
• The explosion deals 100% more damage with a 25% larger radius (200% more damage with a 100% larger radius with the Level 2 version)
• The flash lasts 50% longer (200% longer with the Level 2 version)
