Alchemist

"Harnessing powers of science and magic, splashes Bloons with acid, also brews various potions with different effects."

- Bloons Tower Defense 6 description

The Alchemist is a tower that first appeared in Bloons TD 6. It throws potions that slowly deal damage to bloons over time. It cannot detect Camo Bloons without aid from other towers. The Alchemist can be upgraded to aid in earning money, and to aid other monkeys, such as potions that allow monkeys nearby to pop Lead Bloons. The Alchemist by itself is relatively weak and relies on other monkeys to truly utilize its power. Path 1 is solely about buffing other monkeys and by himself it is still mostly weak until it gains the ability to transform.

Trivia

 * The Lead to Gold upgrade may be a reference to the real life Philosopher's Stone which turns base metals into precious gold.
 * The Rubber to Gold upgrade can turn Ceramic Bloons into Gold, which should be impossible since they are made of clay, not rubber.
 * The Transforming Tonic upgrade may be a reference to Pop Fizz from Skylanders, as he drinks a potion that makes him turn into a large, monstrous creature.
