Movement class Abilities[]

Brewing Cauldron[]

Main article: Brewing Cauldron

The Alchemist can buy brewing cauldrons from the Item Shop for 15 IronCroppedIron each, which can be used to brew various potions, given that the right ingredients are used. They can only hold 3 ingredients maximum.

Foraging[]

Main articles: Flower, Mushroom, and Thorn

Three ingredients, flowers, mushrooms, and thorns, will spawn around the map and can only be seen and picked up by the Alchemist. Pressing the F key will pick up the ingredients. They will be lost upon death, but can be dropped and put in chests.

Potions[]

Main articles: Sleep Splash Potion, Heal Potion, Poison Potion, Big Shield and Time Bomb Potion

To brew a potion, the Alchemist must hold an ingredient (listed above) to be able to deposit ingredients into the brewing cauldron by pressing F. Once a cauldron is full, it will start brewing for 4 seconds, in which the completed potion will sit in the brewing cauldron's inventory until collected.

The type of ingredients in the cauldron when it starts brewing will determine the type of potion brewed. Order does not matter.

Ranged class Strategy[]

Due to the ingredients spawning around the map, it’s best to go grab ingredients all around your base. Now, you can buy a brewing cauldron that is 15 IronCroppedIron. Now, brew your potions. The most efficient potions to use are the Heal Splash Potion, the Poison Splash Potion, the Big Shield and the Sleep Splash Potion. Practice brewing potions in a custom match to memorize the recipes, so you won't need to refer to an outside source for potion recipes.

The Healing Splash potion can be used to quickly heal you and your teammates 30 HP, so you can use it in tight situations, plus it doesn't heal enemies so you can use it in close range combat.

When using the Poison Splash Potion, however, it's a good idea to use it before entering combat, as if you are actively fighting enemies you might not pay attention and accidentally poison yourself.

When using the Sleep Splash Potion, it’s most important to use it while a player with higher tier armor is chasing you. The sleep splash potion makes the player sleep for about 3 seconds, which is enough time to get about a few hits on the player. Now, you have a higher chance to win the fight, as the player was frozen for a few seconds. Additionally, if you can time it correctly, you can use it on an enemy near the edge and then knock them into the void while they are asleep. The Sleep Splash Potion can also be used to stall enemies while breaking a bed.

Alchemist has other potions as well, like the Time Bomb Potion and the Big Shield Potion. The Time Bomb Potion is nearly useless as it deals self-damage. The Big Shield Potion can be used to gain an extra 30 shield in combat, which can help drastically.

Do note that all of Alchemist's potions are droppable, so you can brew potions and then give them to your teammates to let them gain the benefits as well. Additionally, while throwing a potion your movement will be slowed down drastically, so aim quickly.
