Lore   Hero   Strategy   Counters   Equipment   Gear   Responses   Sounds   Lore   Old Abilities   Changelogs   Known Bugs     Razzil Darkbrew, the Alchemist The sacred science of Chymistry : The sacred science of Chymistry was a Darkbrew family tradition, but no Darkbrew had ever shown the kind of creativity, ambition, and recklessness of young Razzil. Be that as it may, when adulthood came calling he pushed aside the family trade to try his hand at manufacturing gold through Alchemy. In an act of audacity befitting his reputation, Razzil announced he would transmute an entire mountain into gold. Following two decades of research and spending and preparation, he failed spectacularly, quickly finding himself imprisoned for the widespread destruction his experiment wrought. Yet Razzil was never one to take a setback lightly, and sought escape to continue his research. When his new cellmate turned out to be a fierce ogre, he found just the opportunity he needed. After convincing the ogre not to eat him, Razzil set about carefully concocting a tincture for it to drink, made from the moulds and mosses growing in the prison stone work. In a week`s time, it seemed ready. When the ogre drank the potion, it flew into an unstoppable berserker rage, destroying the cell bars and exploding through walls and guards alike. They soon found themselves lost somewhere in the forest surrounding the city with a trail of wreckage in their wake and no signs of pursuit. In the tonic`s afterglow, the ogre seemed serene, happy, and even eager. Resolving to work together, the pair set off to collect the materials needed to attempt Razzil`s Alchemic transmutation once more.

Modifiers
Debuff Acid Spray: Undispellable.
Using traditional Alchemy from the Darkbrew family, Razzil concocts an acid that dissolves even the toughest metals.

Notes:

  • Deals damage in 1-second intervals, starting 1 second after receiving the debuff, resulting in up to 16 instances.
  • When leveling up the ability, or skilling the talent while a cast is already active, the armor reduction value on already affected units does not update to the new value.
    • Be that as it may, if an enemy receives the debuff after leveling it up or skilling the talent, that enemy receives the new armor reduction value.
    • The damage value does not update and is always based on the level the ability was cast on.
  • Choosing the armor reduction upgrading talent immediately upgrades all of Alchemist`s currently active Acid Sprays, but not already placed debuffs.
    • This means an enemy walking into Acid Spray after the talent is chosen has more armor reduced than enemies who already stood inside it before the talent was chosen.

Alchemist brews up an unstable concoction that he can throw at an enemy hero, to stun and deal damage in an area around the explosion. The longer the concoction brews, the more damage it deals and the longer the stun. After 5 seconds, the brew reaches its maximum damage and stun time.

Modifiers
Buff Unstable Concoction: Undispellable.
Debuff Stunned: Dispellable with strong dispels.
A silver lining to the failure of turning a mountain into gold, this volatile solution has destructive potential.

Notes:

  • A timer above Alchemist`s head shows how much time is left before the Concoction blows up. This timer is visible to everyone.
  • The brewing animation and particles are visible to everyone. The Unstable Concoction buff is hidden.
  • The damage starts at 0 (Talent 100) and increases by 3/4.4/5.8/7.2 for each 0.1 seconds brewed, reaching the full damage in 5 seconds.
  • The stun starts at 0.3 and increases by 0.029/0.044/0.059/0.074 for each 0.1 seconds brewed, reaching 1.75/2.5/3.25/4 in 5 seconds.
  • Unstable Concoction always affects a 200 area around where it explodes, including when it explodes on Alchemist.
  • When Alchemist dies while brewing, it instantly blows up, hitting units around Alchemist based on how long it was brewed.
  • While brewing the concoction, Alchemist can still move around and act freely.
  • The stun and damage can hit creep-heroes within the radius as well.
  • Choosing the minimum damage upgrading talent immediately upgrades Alchemist`s currently brewing concoction and all of his currently flying concoction projectiles.

Notes:

  • Replaces Unstable Concoction until the concoction is thrown or blows up.
  • The targeting reticule must be centered over an enemy unit.
  • The cast of Unstable Concoction Throw is not registered as a spell cast and thus does not proc any on-cast effects.
  • Once thrown, Unstable Concoction stops brewing.
  • Cannot be cast on, but can stun and damage creep-heroes within the radius.
  • When connecting with an invulnerable or hidden target, it still applies its area effect, hitting nearby units.

Ability

Self
Alchemist synthesizes additional gold from his enemies and bounty runes. With each kill, Alchemist earns base bonus gold and extra bonus gold. If Alchemist kills another unit which yields gold within the next 30 seconds, an additional instance of Extra Bonus Gold is added to the total. Additionally, causes bounty runes to yield 2 times their normal gold.
Base Gold Bonus: 4
Extra Gold Bonus per Stack: 4
Gold Bonus Cap: 16/20/24/28
Stack Duration: 30
Bounty Rune Multiplier: 2
Modifiers
Buff Goblins Greed: Undispellable.
While it is not a mountain, Razzil has mastered the conversion of smaller compounds to line his pockets.

Notes:

  • Greevil`s Greed triggers on every last hit Alchemist makes, excluding last hits on allies, buildings, illusions and Tempest Doubles.
  • All stacks work fully independently from each other. They last 30 seconds each and do not refresh each other.
  • Alchemist himself has to last hit to gain a stack, making last hits with other owned units does not add to his current stack.
  • The status buff icon shows how much extra gold Alchemist gains on his next last hit.
  • A second bounty number appears over Alchemist, showing the amount of extra gold earned. This number is only visible to Alchemist.
  • The minimum amount of last hits needed to reach the gold bonus cap is 3/4/5/6 (within the 30-second stack duration).
  • Gold earned through Greevil`s Greed is unreliable and affected by the Buyback gold earn penalty.

Upgradable by Aghanim`s Scepter. Alchemist melts down Aghanim`s Scepter to grant an allied hero Aghanim`s Scepter upgrades.
Partially usable by illusions. Illusions benefit from everything but the health regen. Illusions created during Chemical Rage get a new Chemical Rage buff which lasts its full duration, regardless of how much was left on Alchemist himself.
Modifiers
Buff Chemical Rage Transform: Undispellable.
Buff Chemical Rage: Undispellable.
Buff Ultimate Scepter Consumed: Undispellable.
The brew Razzil gave to the Ogre during their prison bust has become a useful potion in the midst of combat.

Notes:

  • Since it increases the hero`s base health and mana regeneration, the bonuses are fully affected by percentage increments and decrements.
  • Regenerates a total of 1250/1875/2500 health and 75/187.5/300 mana (25/87.5/150 when factoring in the mana cost).
  • Chemical Rage is fully canceled on death.
  • Aghanim`s Scepter has an active ability for Alchemist, allowing him to cast it on allied heroes (excluding hero clones and illusions).
    • Once cast, the Scepter is destroyed and the targeted ally receives the Ultimate Scepter Consumed buff, which is permanent.
    • This status buff grants the ally the same stats as an Aghanim`s Scepter and fully applies any Scepter upgrades on the hero.
    • Alchemist can cast Aghanim`s Scepter on himself as well, gaining the stats only, since he has no upgrades.
    • The net worth of the Scepter transfers from Alchemist to the target hero. Self-casting does not change the net worth.
    • Doing so does neither change Alchemist`s nor the target`s GPM.
    • A hero can only be targeted once by Aghanim`s Scepter.
  • Illusions of a hero affected by a transferred Aghanim`s Scepter buff cannot make use of the stats it provides to the hero.
  • The ability to transfer Aghanim`s Scepter is innate to the hero and not the ultimate ability.
    • This means that Alchemist can share Aghanim`s Scepters in Ability Draft, regardless of his skills.
