Acidic Mixture Dip is the Alchemist's path 1 tier 2 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants the Alchemist a second attack that throws a potion on nearby towers, which grants them the Acidic Mixture Dip buff. This buff allows affected towers to pop Lead Bloons and grants them +1 damage to Ceramics, +1 to MOAB-Class Bloons, and +1 to Fortified Leads (these buffs are mutually exclusive). This buff lasts for 10 attacks and can be applied to the same tower multiple times to stack the number of attacks it lasts for, up to 30 in total.

The buff potion is thrown every 10 seconds at a random eligible tower in the Alchemist's radius, prioritizing towers which don't already have the buff. Most attacking towers are eligible for the buff, but the following cannot receive it:

• Glue Gunner without Corrosive Glue
• Alchemist
• Beast Handler
• Psi
• Etienne
• Benjamin
• Dungeon Statue

Acidic Mixture Dip is a cheap but effective way to grant lead-popping and boost damage to Ceramics and MOAB-class. However, the buff is quick to wear out, and can be hard to maintain stacks, thus shouldn't be entirely relied for lead-popping. It's rarely necessary as a crosspath for higher-tier Alchemists, but can be actively harmful to Lead to Gold and above; instead, its effectiveness is mostly associated with Berserker Brew and above.

Version 33.0

“

Transforming Tonic has always had a large struggle with pierce, rather than directly throwing onto the base pierce we have added crosspathing pierce & rate benefits for transformation enjoyers to now choose between. Acidic Mixture Dip stacking from multiple alchemists / stalling tactics too effectively lowered use of other lead counter options in a way we didn’t like, so the maximum stacks here without Permabrew has been reduced considerably.
