The Alchemist- Is the current Alchemist good or not?

And 3 use busdriver 3 use heals is easily as much survivability as 4 heals lol

Except Alchs want to survive. Invest potion does not help that directly. Bus-driver directly does.

Invest pot does it’s job well enough that the destiction is irrelevant. Plus it makes BD not Lynch them as often

Nuclear with respect you are like the only person who is literally always wrong about balance.

what does this even mean.

It means that you don’t need to reduce the Alchs heal uses to replace truth pot with a bus drive

The problem about Alchemist is not so it’s OP’ness on its own(mind you that it has a difficult wincon) but rather the difficulty of getting rid of it for evils when it sides against them. If they hit it and it protects itself then they waste a kill. And that can only be prevented by the Unseen with the Enforcer.
Poison and Bleed is a possibility, but if there is another healer then this does harm the Unseen or cult.
And at some point bleeding or poisoning the Alchemist doesnt help if the game is over before that(especially when Alch has a bomb left).

Giving the alch no survivability is asking for an underpowered win rate.

What about a neut princess with a surv wincon? Sounds like a pretty novel concept to me

Alchemist is one of the funniest classes in the game right now, I could not be more happy with it.

Yes

Exactly this. It has flexibility, better ways to side with whatever he wants, is more agressive and equally needed for either evils and BD, not only BD like before.

doesn’t need to be an investigator.

Also he isn’t needed, execute alchs D2 if you have no leads, better then wasting a day.

It means the Alch claimed d1, so it deserves to be executed d2 any way

And his investigative abilities should not be used at BD’s favor. I usually look for evils or Neutrals to team up with, its much more effective and fun
