STATS

ABILITIES
Sprays high-pressure acid across a target area. Enemy units who step across the contaminated terrain take mixed damage per second and have their armor reduced.
Using traditional Alchemy from the Darkbrew family, Razzil concocts an acid that dissolves even the toughest metals.
Acid Spray is considered one of your farming abilities. You can last hits some creeps altogether with this skill. Sure this skill will makes your gold run faster like a usain bolt.

Acid Spray is also very useful in teamfights. This skill will reduce enemies armor and makes your team comfortable in damaging the enemies. Not just that, this skill will deal some decent damage per second to the enemies in teamfights.

The radius of this skill is relatively high, and can occupy almost full screen. So you can damaging conveniently to some creeps and heroes.

2. Unstable Concoction
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. However, after 7 seconds, the concoction will explode on Alchemist himself if not thrown.
A silver lining to the failure of turning a mountain into gold, this volatile solution has destructive potential.

Your skill to help you ganks.

You need to cast the skill and wait the timer until the concoction is ready.  Then throw the concoction, or it will explode in your head and stun yourself.

The stun have a decent duration if somehow you cam channel it long enough. So be careful and time your ganks by thinking calmly before casting this skill.

Unstable Concoction Throw
Throw it before it blows up!
Throw your Concoction into a target. If too slow, it will stun yourself.

3. Greevil's Greed
Alchemist gets bonus gold for killing creeps; the bonus stacks if the creeps are killed within a period of time, after which the count is reset. The bonus gold is capped at 30 gold.
While it is not a mountain, Razzil has mastered the conversion of smaller compounds to line his pockets.
This is what makes you difference from another heroes in terms of gold . This skill will boost your gold like no one ever was. You will be the millionaire in DotA.

This skill will add several amount of gold for every creeps you kill. And the amount of additional gold will increase the more the creeps you kill in the duration. So be prepared to be the richest in the map.

You can easily win in terms of items compared to your opponents. Better in items means you are the stronger. So you can manfight every one of enemy hero. This is an automatic victory for the one whose richest in dota.

4. Chemical Rage
Alchemist causes his Ogre to enter a chemically induced rage, reducing base attack cooldown and increasing movement speed, hitpoints and regeneration.
The brew Razzil gave to the Ogre during their prison bust has become a useful potion in the midst of combat.
Transform you into a more powerful human being. You will gain attack speed, move speed, hp regen, and mana regen in this form.

In early game, you can use this skill to restore your health and mana.
In mid game, this skill can helps you survive in a teamfight. And in late game this skill will make you become a true monster that attacks so fast and can tank lots of damages.

SKILLBUILD

Early Game
You should focus on last hitting since the earliest stage of the game. Creeps killing  is your focus. If your enemy in lane are ranged heroes, you should be more careful. Try to maintain some range and just come near creeps if there is a low HP creep. Be sure to lasthit every creep. You need to farm fast and earn gold quickly to get your items in time.
Usually, a full farming Alchemist are chasing Radiance in 15 mins or less because Radiance is a very powerful item for farming. You need this to double your gold quickly.
Radiance is also does decent damage in teamfights and gives some miss chance to ehe enemy

The other farming option as Alchemist is a Battlefury or Maelstorm. Both can ckear waves of creeps quite easily. Always buy Battlefury against illusion heavy heroes like Phantom Lancer.

Mid Game
In mid game, you should continue your farm. No matter how hard the conditions are, gold is your true target. I believe Greevil’s Greed can provide some decent gold for you. You should get your core items here. If you can succeed here in mid game and already get all your core items, it will be easier in late game.
You should be owning in late game, You have the DPS and the attack speed.
Late Game
Late game is the time to shine. As a carry hero, you should be owning in  this stage of the game. Believe in yourself, believe in your DPS, and kill all enemies that blocking your way.

Alchemist is one of the best carry, he can farms gold faster than other carries. Alchemist should outfarm another heroes, he should be the richest in the map. Dota records has already proves that, Alchemist is almost always the number one in ranking of the most gold per miute from week to week. He has beat Furion that also has the pride of one of the best farmer in Dota. Though.

Alchemist can earn gold more than 1000 golds per minute that is far beyond impossibe for other heroes.

So the conclusion is: Farms faster, earn items faster, Owning with better items in mid game. Outfarm enemies in late game with greevil's greed. Quick finish the game as you get your cores before the enemy catch up.
