Acid Pool gets very little attention, so we thought that it’d be an interesting and logical addition to allow the pools to hit camo bloons passing over them. On the other hand, Alchemist’s top path upgrades have always been appealing, usually serving as the primary incentive for Alchemist’s usage. We noticed that x2x is the preferred crosspath for 3xx/4xx Alchemists, being utilised 3 to 4 times more than xx1/xx2 in the highest arenas, so we decided to take the route of slightly weakening 3xx and 4xx by lowering the crosspath’s benefits. Lastly, Bloon Master Alchemist is far from a bad tower as it scales incredibly well with the late game MOAB ramping, however it is still the least used of Alchemist’s tier 5s. Its rate is incredibly slow which can make it unreliable for certain situations, so that has been buffed slightly.

Just a small buff for Bloon Master Alchemist, letting it pop more MOABs and BFBs which gives it more potential to be a reliable option against the new tight rushes.
