~ In-game description |
Larger Potions is the first upgrade on the top path for the Alchemist in Bloons TD 6. It increases the splash radius of the potions by +7 (from 14 units to 21 units) and increases pierce from 15 to 20. Larger Potions also affects the splash radius for most other potion attacks such as Unstable Concoction or Rubber to Gold, but not for Acid Pools. If crosspathed with Transforming Tonic, it increases laser pierce by +3, from 6 to 9. Unstable Concoction's concoction potions gain +1 pierce, while Rubber to Gold's special goldifying potions gain +5 pierce.
This upgrade costs $210 on Easy, $250 on Medium, $270 on Hard, and $300 on Impoppable.

Strategy[]
Summary[]
Larger Potions adds both a greater splash radius and slightly more pierce for each potion. Greater splash area is helpful for a more reliable attack at hitting more bloons per shot, including for crosspathing benefits. The extra pierce provided by Larger Potions is also helpful for the same reasons.
Tips[]
- Note that the damage of the potion remains the same, simply the Alchemist can hit more bloons, with a bigger area and a higher pierce. Stronger Acid is required to deal more damage.
- This upgrade is important for Rubber to Gold, as it allows the goldify attacks to hit more bloons.
