1. Hero's Story

Having enlisted under the ranks of the Sentinel for mere personal gain, the Alchemist's quest for amassing wealth to fund his research is a tireless and relentless one. Both sadistic and cruel in his methods, this heartless Goblin cares not for the means he must resort to for a sizeable bounty. Whether he chooses to paralyze his foes with toxic concoctions or drench them in corrosive acids, Razzil Darkbrew remains steadfast in his calm, calculated approach, despite their constant wails of agony. Though notoriously famed to be inhumane and savage in his actions, he succeeds in crippling the mighty Scourge with the vilest of elixirs.

2. Hero's Introduction

~Back to Table of Contents

Alchemist, according to most people is "Teh shitest (new word)hero in the game." This kind of thinking angered me a bit because I've played Alch quite a bit and some people hate him because they simply do not understand how to use him. This guide will teach you the ways to play Alch to his full potential and in no time, start wiping away these retarded thoughts of those people.

I'm giving a very stern warning now. Only choose Alche if you are
1. Very manly (I mean using all the man phrases)
2. Love yellow numbers
3. The leader of the team
4. Have a good judgment/ common sense
5. Like ogres that are on high chairs

If you have any 4 of these qualities then you are fit to play Alche. Read below for his Pro's and Con's and try not to cry.

3. Hero's Info & Stats

~Back to Table of Contents

Pros:
[+An excellent lane harasser/lane staying power]
[+Monstrously high DPS once he obtains his items ]
[+If used right=unkillable]
[+Super farmer]

Cons:
[-Hideously low stat growth (1.8, 1.2, 1.8)]
[-Needs a decent team]
[-Very dependent of his ultimate ]
[-Ugly as fuck!!!!(Cannot be fixed)]

Information

Sight Range: 1800/800
Main Roles: Tank, DPS, Lane Harasser, Pissing off the other team

Level 1 Stats

Strength: 25 (1.8)
Agility: 11 (1.2)
Intelligence: 25 (1.8)

Agility: 39+20
Intelligence: 68+20

As you can see his stats are simply "SHIT". If you still have not closed this guide yet then you are still very man. His base armour is very very very low and his damage is really shit for a Str hero. His agility is poor resulting in laggy attack speeds but he does have decent Int so he can spam his spells very well. But don't trust these stats completely because once he uses rage, everything changes.

Description:
An amazing area of effect spell. Spray not only has a short cool down (6 seconds), it also reduces armor by 6 which is basically a free desolator. This skill is maxed along with shake for great lane control. Generally you won't use this skill due to high mana cost in early unless your ganking with team mates.

Notes
[*] The damage done by this skill is both magical and physical so it can
damage buildings.
[*] The damage goes through magic immunity so Hood doesn't block it completely

Unstable Concoction

Other known names include: Shake, Wanker, Wtf happened, Pot

Skill Description

Razzil brews up an unstable concoction that he can throw at an enemy hero, to stun and deal damage. Razzil can brew for up to 5 seconds, each second increases the potency of the concoction. After the 5 seconds, there is a small buffer window. If Razzil does not throw the concoction soon after it will blow up and Razzil himself will suffer as if he was hit by the concoction.

With a roB you can easily spam this spell. This spell is also a very reliable stun in early game and further on I'll show how to first blood at level 1.

[*] Before launching the concoction, it will blow up if channeled for more than 7 seconds, checking at 0.5 second intervals (allows up to 7.5 seconds brew time).
