How to use Larger Potions
Larger Potions gives the Alchemist's thrown potion +5 pierce (20 in total) and a 50% bigger splash radius. The bonus also carries over to other attacks when you crosspath: acid pools get +5 pierce, Rubber to Gold's gold potions get +5 pierce and a bigger splash, Unstable Concoction gets +1 pierce and a bigger splash, and the Transforming Tonic eye beam gets +3 pierce.
When to buy it
At $250 it is a cheap early upgrade. Players usually take it on the way to Acidic Mixture Dip, or add it afterwards on buff Alchemists.
It is the standard crosspath in three builds:
- Bottom path economy Alchemists (1-0-3, 1-0-4), where more gold potion pierce means more bloons give double cash and more Leads turn into gold.
- Unstable Concoction (1-3-0), where extra pierce applies the concoction to more blimps.
- Transforming Tonic (1-4-0), for more eye beam pierce.
Is it worth it?
Yes. It is one of the most useful cheap crosspaths on the tower and almost never wasted.
