Bloon Master Alchemist is the Alchemist's path 3 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It grants the Alchemist a new attack, which throws a shrink potion at Bloons. This shrink potion converts all affected Bloons into Red Bloons. The shrink potion has infinite range, always targets strong, and has 200 pierce with an attack cooldown of 10 seconds. However MOABs absorb 20 pierce, BFBs and DDTs absorb 50 pierce, and ZOMGs absorb 100 pierce. The shrink potion cannot target or affect BADs or Boss Bloons. It can target Test Bloons but cannot affect them. It requires support to affect Camo Bloons (including DDTs).
Shrinking Bloons does not grant any cash, which means popping Bloons using the shrink potion loses cash compared to popping them normally.

Main attack: Now places an acid pool where the potion lands if it does not hit its target- Shrink potion attack: No longer targets BADs (since it does not affect them) (bug fix)
- Shrink potion attack: Can no longer softlock the game by converting Bloons that were moved off-screen with blowback (bug fix)
No longer gives extra cash for converting Bloons (bug fix)
- Non-main offensive attacks: Can now be thrown over obstacles (bug fix)
- "Should again remove Camo & Regen properties from converted targets"

Lead to Gold hasn’t been a competitive 3rd tier outside of special game modes and challenges, so we’ve added some more uniqueness by allowing it to truly live up to its description and deal enough damage to instantly ‘convert’ a Lead Bloon, children layers and all, also carrying on some value here in the later game by allowing this bonus to deal extra against DDTs as well.

- All offensive attacks: Now does +9 damage to Lead properties
- Base potion attack: no longer has single-layer damage (undocumented)
- Shrink potion: No longer adds negative amounts to the damage counter (bug fix)
- Lead damage bonus will now correctly apply to Dreadbloon’s Lead layer (bug fix)
“
Acid Pools only adds anything to the tower when there are no Bloons around, so we’re making it a hybrid that benefits somewhat from this upgrade even while attacking normally.

- Acid Pools every 5th attack against a Bloon drops an acid pool under the target
- Alchemist pools last the correct duration (bug fix)
- Note: Doesn't affect the acid pools that are spawned every 5th potion

Back to improving damage over time, Lead to Gold currently deals a large damage increase to Leads but only on the main impact of the attack. I’m sure you can see where we’re going with this.

- Main attack: Damage-over-time now also deals bonus to Leads ― +0 → +9
- Gold status effect duration decreased ― Infinite → 7s
- Gold status effect also disables Lead, Black, White, and Purple immunities for duration
- Note: Gilded status does not affect damage bonuses to Bloon properties (e.g. Lead to Gold vs Lead)
- Rubber to Gold potion: Attack cooldown reduced ― 5s → 2s
- Rubber to Gold potion: Radius increased ― 14 → 21
- Rubber to Gold potion: Duration increased ― 7s → 14s
- 1-0-5, 2-0-5
- Rubber to Gold potion: Larger Potions grants +50% splash radius ― 14 → 31.5
“
The faster attack rate improved Rubber To Gold’s average cash generation too much, so this multiplier is being reduced to bring it more in line
