Upgrades

edit

Enhance Path

 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

Transmute Path

 
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.
Beast Mode
Tier 4
 
Transforms into a monster after popping 100 Bloons.

Chaos Path

 
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
 
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.
 
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%.
 
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.
 
Chemical Wager is now applied to every potion.
