Gameplay
"Failure is just another kind of success. The wrong kind."
No Darkbrew had ever demonstrated the kind of imagination, aspiration, and carelessness that young Razzil exhibited while studying the sacred science of Chymistry, despite this being a family tradition. When he reached adulthood, he abandoned the family business to try his hand at creating gold through alchemy. Razzil declared he would turn an entire mountain into gold in an act of audacity befitting his reputation. After spending two decades researching, planning, and preparing, he failed miserably and was soon imprisoned for the extensive damage his experiment caused. Razzil, who was never one to take defeat lightly, sought refuge in order to carry on with his investigation. He discovered the perfect opportunity when he discovered that his new cellmate was a fearsome ogre. Razzil set about painstakingly creating a tincture for the ogre to drink using the moulds and mosses growing on the prison stonework after persuading it not to eat him. It appeared to be prepared after a week. When the ogre drank the potion, it flew into an uncontrollable berserker rage that caused it to smash through walls and guards while destroying the cell bars. They soon discovered themselves lost in the city's surrounding forest, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake but showing no signs of being pursued. In the glow of the tonic, the ogre appeared calm, content, and even eager. The two decided to cooperate and set out to gather the supplies required to try Razzil's Alchemic transmutation once more.

Tips & Tactics
General
Early on in the game, an alchemist is supposed to farm using Greevil's Greed to quickly acquire his core items. Then we level Unstable Concoction to lengthen the stun and deal more damage. Every time we want to get a kill, we use this skill. We level the final skill, Acid Spray, after we have maximized this one. We employ this skill to farm the jungle, push the lanes, protect our towers, and attack rival towers.
