Earns extra gold from unit kills and bounty runes.
Having broken out of prison with his ogre accomplice, Razzil Darkbrew embarks on the search for new materials to use in his transmutations. Learned in alchemy, he infuses his partner's weapons with Corrosive Substances and created toxic Sludge Acids to accelerate his Greevil's Greed — extracting extra gold from creeps and Bounty Runes. With enough resources, it is rumored that Razzil has the secret formula to Synthesize a buff into the body that equals the legendary scepter. The Alchemist brews, atop the shoulders of his companion, an increasingly Unstable Concoction that is ideally thrown before it explodes. In a pinch, Razzil slips his partner with an Unknown Potion, inducing a Chemical Rage in the ogre's body. Symptoms include unnatural speeds, rapid health regeneration, and a pleasant purple hue.

Bio

Razzil Darkbrew, the Alchemist

▶️ "Failure is just another kind of success. The wrong kind."

Lore:

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. However, 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.

Undispellable

Using traditional Alchemy from the Darkbrew family, Razzil concocts an acid that dissolves even the toughest metals.

• Both the armor reduction and ally armor increasing bonus are provided by an aura, its debuff lingers for 0.5 seconds.
  • The damage is independent of the aura, and the damage of multiple instances of Acid Spray fully stacks.
  • However, the enemy armor reduction and ally armor bonus value does not.

• Deals damage in 1-second intervals, starting immediately upon cast, resulting in up to 16 instances.

• Can deal up to 400/480/560/640 damage to a single unit (before reductions).

• When leveling up the ability while a cast is already active, the armor reduction value on already affected units does not update to the new value.
  • However, if an enemy receives the debuff after leveling it up, 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.
  • TALENT
    The armor reduction notes fully apply to the ally armor bonus talent.
    • Grants allies within the radius 3/4/5/6 ( 4/5/6/7) bonus armor.

• Does not affect Couriers.

Unstable Concoction

No Target

Affects
Self

Damage
Physical

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. Alchemist is faster while charging the concoction. After 5 seconds, the brew reaches its maximum damage and stun time. However, after 5.5 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.

• Interrupts Alchemist's channeling abilities upon cast.

• A timer above Alchemist's head shows how much time is left before the concoction blows up. This timer is visible to everyone.

• While brewing the concoction, Alchemist has increased movement speed, and he can move around and act freely.
  • The increased movement speed buff lasts until the Unstable Concoction Throw sub-ability is used or the concoction blows up.
  • The brewing animation and particles are visible to everyone. The Unstable Concoction buff is hidden.

• The sound can be heard by enemies only when the ability is cast within their vision range.

• The damage starts at 0 and increases by 3/4.4/5.8/7.2 ( 11/12.4/13.8/15.2) per 0.1 seconds brewed, reaching the full damage in 5 seconds.

• The stun duration starts at 0.25 seconds and increases by 0.029/0.039/0.049/0.059 for each 0.1 seconds brewed, reaching 1.7/2.2/2.7/3.2 in 5 seconds.

• The concoction first applies the damage, then the debuff.

• Unstable Concoction always affects a 250 ( 375) radius around where it explodes, including when it explodes on Alchemist.
  • When Alchemist dies while brewing, it instantly blows up, damaging enemy units around Alchemist based on the brewed duration.
  • The self-inflicted damage is lethal, it can be used to deny oneself.

• TALENT
  Both the radius increasing and the maximum damage increasing talents immediately updates all of Alchemist's currently brewing concoction and all of his currently flying concoction projectiles.
• SPELL STEAL
  Instantly stun the caster for the total channel duration upon losing the ability.
• MORPH NOTES
  Does not stun the caster upon losing the ability or while the countdown ends when the Morph buff expires.

Alchemist synthesizes additional gold from his enemies and bounty runes. With each kill, Alchemist earns base bonus gold and extra bonus gold.

Ability Draft Notes:

Aghanim's Scepter Synth is bound to Greevil's Greed.
However, Chemical Rage must be drafted as well for the bonus attack damage and bonus spell amplification component to work.

While it is not a mountain, Razzil has mastered the conversion of smaller compounds to line his pockets.

• This is innate to Alchemist and does not need to be learned.

• Greevil's Greed triggers and grants a stack on every last hit Alchemist makes on units that have a death gold bounty, except for buildings, illusions, and the Tempest Double.
  • Denies or last hits from his player-controlled units do not add to the current stack.
  • Does not trigger on units that have Reincarnation as well, except for Wraith King Skeletons.

• All stacks work fully independently from each other. They last 36 seconds each and do not refresh each other.
  • 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.
  • TALENT
    Grants flat bonus attack damage per stack, values displayed on the HUD are rounded up.

• 8 last hits is required to reach the gold bonus and bonus attack damage cap within the 36-second stack duration.

• Grants unreliable gold bonus from last hits.

• Grants reliable gold bonus from the Bounty Rune multiplier.
  • Greevil's Greed does not change the gold type granted and only affects the amount of gold granted to Alchemist, regardless of whether the rune is activated by Alchemist, his allies, or from Store Rune.
  • Allies still gain the default team gold value.
