Bottom path for sure, easily getting rid of leads and generating extra cash is incredibly useful. Not to mention pairing alchemists with Etienne is a great combination to get those pesky camos.
I know acid pools is redundant but I've been finding myself using 402 to buff sauda or my permaspikes. Sauda loves bloons recieving DOT and my permaspike is so far back that it gives me peace of mind.
this is completely useless, sauda benefits from DOT damage but she applies it herself, and it does not stack. Using a 402 is directly inferior to a 420
You used to be able to stack tier 5 middle path dart monkey and tier 5 middle path alchemist which would be so overpowered and shred through bads, you might still be able to but idk

ATM, except paragons that can't get buffed, the only towers unable to receive alch buffs are : -top/mid/bot path alchemist -mid/bot path village -top/mid/bot banana farms -benjamin -etienne -psi So every other hero, every other towers, can receive those OP buffs. If it was only the monkey-based towers (those unable to DRINK the brews also being unable to get the buff, like mid path alch ability) it would be situations where you don't want alch buffs (so more balanced as right now it is definitely OP...?)
@@obama69890 I searched up and it says it reaches 76 which is the Max for singleplayer. To get degree 100, you must have at least 4 players to achieve that
Agreed, alch is definitely the best tower. Top path is insanely god buffing, middle is super underrated and actually very useful, particularly with x3x as it helps a lot with the 90s in chimps, and bottom path is easy extra income that synergises super well with bloon trap. It's sad we don't get to see money generation from bottom path tho.
sharpening stone + alch + jar of pickles + 1-4-0 (or 0-4-2) spactories is an op strategy, it gives +4 more spikes per pile and +2 (or +3 if geraldo is high level) damage to EACH spike pile which just destroys everything
Bottom path alc is so broken it's just disgusting. Loads of income for 3rd and 4th tier, and 5th tier instakills zomgs without an ability, something only done by the navarch
man the bma is so op my bma has more pops than degree 79 dart, degree 74 boomer , degree 76 ninja paragon combined! like it has more pops than vtsg alch paragon might be overpowered as it deletes every moab class except bads
If you're in super late game, BMA isn't as good as it seems. It may have the most pops, but those are only on bloons that aren't bads, which is completely useless that late in. Past round 120, the only bloon that actually matters are bads, so being only useful for not bads is pointless.
Man remember the super monkey fan club/total transformation glitch that was op. Man am sad for middle path dart monkey and alchemist. They're the most used towers :/
something worth noting: permanent brew uses the berserker brew boost, not the stronger stimulant boost so although the boost is weaker than stronger stim, it lasts forever unless sold edit: this was posted back during 28.0, as of now perma brew uses stronger stimulant boost
I just used 024 alchemist on Lych normal and completed it, very useful for popping the leads round 28+, making it easier to focus on farming. I just used the alchemist, ninja, engineer and dart shooter for the early stages so I could just farm and get kills gradually for the 3 paragon round 100+
Imo bma is the most important for late game, an insane tower though the earlier upgrades are neglible. P-brew is also good for late game, but earlier paths are actually really good yeah. But for me, middle path yes is underrated, but not good. True some it isn't as bad as some people think, it isn't really a good tower or strategy, kind of meh, and unstable concoction is alright but doesn't keep the 10% in the late game
I was playing on freeplay a few days ago and somehow a tier 5 bottom path alc was my strongest tower from rounds 120 - 140ish. The tower apparently got around 9 Mil in those rounds and was competing for damage with my sky shredder ace and moab domination boomerang.
Middle path is like a dart monkey hitting a BAD damage in late game compared to bottom path which can’t kill BAD but one shots any health zombies and lower so it is much better
I actually realy like the bottom path of alchemist and does anyone seen that thye changed the 500 engineer name from sentry paragon to sentry champion?
Botton path tier 4 is also effect bads i see on video kinda 1 year ago it was not long ago i see bma is also very good on bma achivments p brew/pb/brew master with botton tier 2 is not make it worse because the amd that is give is permanently is not need again to doing same with stronger stim.
I have a question, in theory, wouldn’t shinobi tactics synergize better with tt than Druid of wrath? A maxed shinobi-buffed shinobi gives +430% times attack speed and +160% times pierce, so 5.3 times faster and 2.6 times more pierce. A maxed druid-buffed Druid of wrath only gets 3.5 times attack speed and 1.75 times more pierce. Correct me if I’m wrong on any of this. People always say that druids of wrath are better. I think this is because they think that heart of vengeance stacks for x7 speed. This is not true though.
You have to get 25 shinobi's though since the transformed shinobis stop giving the buff during the transformation. I think people say Druid of wrath is better since it's easier to fit 5 monkeys and buff 5 monkeys than 25 monkeys. Also, Druids are good early game, and bottom path druid in general scales much better late game than shinobis. Another thing, poplust is Tier 4.
I call the alch pain, I watch alot of naruto and I always thought the alchs middle path was cool. But I only realized that he was the six paths of pain a few weeks ago
The best tower is Dart in BTD1, Dart in BTD2, Beacon in BTD3, Super in BTD4, Bloonchipper in BTD5, Sniper Monkey in BTD Battles, Engineer in Bloons Monkey City, Alchemist in BTD6, and Dartling in Battles 2. Reply for a disagree (especially sniper, i've got tons of explaining for that)
Not sure which you misunderstood: 1) 1/4 of 60 is 15 not 20 2) it's not 20 out of 80 seconds cause the cooldown already is ticking down while the buff is active

I'm surprised that ninja kiwi didn't make the alchemist a support tower
Middle and bottom path are much more fitting as magic towers
Ice monkey could be a magic type as well. A lot of them fit into multiple roles
The Alchemist Monkey’s berserker brew upgrade is one of the reasons I started getting interested into the game!
Thank you so much for this video I wasn't sure how 0-0-4 worked with multiple layers or not, time to cheese some maps
I wish the rubber to gold would be visible on moabs, I always saw him throw it at moabs but never saw it actually do anything…
I does it do everything but bads
0-2-4 is an Underrated Crosspath in ABR since it can do extra damage to the R40 F MOAB

Patch 1.0 would like to have a word with you. They were broken and I loved them
since when i first got the game when it first came out i used the alchemists buffs its one of the towers i use most
The middle path Alch's ability now does 3 damage instead of 2, effectively increasing it's damage by 50%, as of the 35.0 update

Bloon Master Alchemist is one of my favorite upgrades, it’s really good and a cool concept

-top/mid/bot path alchemist

So every other hero, every other towers, can receive those OP buffs.
If it was only the monkey-based towers (those unable to DRINK the brews also being unable to get the buff, like mid path alch ability) it would be situations where you don't want alch buffs (so more balanced as right now it is definitely OP...?)

can you jungle drums homeland defense and overclock/ultraboost bma to transform more moabs to red bloons
Is it even worth getting the tier 5 top path I feel like 3-4 4-0-2 does the same for half the cost like does it increase pierce or attk speed

bottom path legit competes with paragons in my runs for pops and costs like 1/100th the cost
Question
Let's say I have a ninja monkey
Would a top path alch be able to give it the ability to pop leads?
If so then what tier does it give it
fun fact:
all the mid path monke (excluding modded ones) have abilitys.a
edit: also excluding cave monke
Thats not a fun fact
thats like common sense for the game
The bottom path makes 💰💰💰💰
Stonks
Is it a valid strat to just take 3 (or more) alches on 401 instead of one on perma, i mean its cheaper 🤔
Ngl the bottom path tier 1 alch is cheaper than the mid path tier 1 and 2 so the bottom pathtier 1 is better
Cookie Monster is deffinitly better for Druid but i have to say Shinobi spamm is better because you also can get a boosted Grandmaster
It is hard to get a 20x boosted GM and 5 20x boosted shenobis though
