Faster Throwing

Faster Throwing cuts the cooldown of every Alchemist attack by 20%, which means 25% more throws. The main potion is thrown every 1.6 seconds instead of 2. The speed bonus also applies to everything the Alchemist unlocks later: AMD potions every 8 seconds instead of 10, brews every 6.4 seconds instead of 8, the Unstable Concoction potion every 4.8 seconds instead of 6, and the eye beam from Transforming Tonic.

When to buy it

As an attack upgrade it is not very efficient; a second Alchemist gives more damage for the money. Its value comes from crosspaths:

• Brew Alchemists (3-0-1, 4-0-1) and especially Permanent Brew (5-0-1), where faster buff throws spread buffs to more towers.
• Transforming Tonic and Total Transformation (0-4-1, 0-5-1) for more single-target eye beam damage.
• Unstable Concoction (0-3-1) against fast blimps.

It is also the first step toward Lead to Gold and Rubber to Gold.

Is it worth it?

Yes as a crosspath on buff and monster builds. Skip it if you only want early damage.
