Description
The Alchemist, like most other towers, has the appearance of a monkey, despite not having "Monkey" in the name. It wears a purple buttonless overcoat with a yellow rim and with its sleeves rolled up. It also has a pair of goggles with pink-tinted lenses and gold frames, attached by a brown strap. Strangely, the goggles are never worn directly over the Alchemist's eyes except for the Bloon Master Alchemist (x/x/5) and Unstable Concoction (x/3/x). It carries a round-bottom flask filled with red acid. In the artwork, the flask does not appear to be capped.

Upgrades
Path 1 focuses on buffing towers, increasing their stats. Starting at increasing potion size, then Acidic Mixture Dip to give towers lead popping and bonus damage to Ceramics and M.O.A.B Class Bloons. Then Berserker Brew which increases multiple stats, Stronger Stimulant, and finally a permanent version of stronger stimulant.

Path 2 focuses on dealing more damage. Starting at increasing acid quality, then Perishing Potions to increase the potion damage to MOAB-class bloons and strip off Fortified properties, then Unstable Concoction, which coats MOAB-class Bloons with an explosive substance, followed by Transforming Tonic, which transforms the Alchemist into a laser shooting attack monster, and finally a version of transforming tonic which turns 5 other monkeys into laser shooting attack monsters.

Path 3 is quite mixed. The first two upgrades support the tower in damage efficiency and attack speed. However, starting from the third upgrade, Lead to Gold gives extra damage to Lead-property bloons and turns Lead Bloons into a considerable amount of extra money when popped. Rubber to Gold, allows the player to gain cash from popping affected Bloons. However, the final upgrade, Bloon Master Alchemist's mega-shrink potions eventually convert any non-BAD Bloons to a measly Red Bloon.
