Alchemist Potion Build

Core Mechanic

The Alchemist class item, Cauldron, continuously generates potions and supplies upgraded potions (Strong Vampiric, Divine, Mana) without crafting materials. Combined with Potion Belt's bag expansion and random buffs, the build delivers varied utility effects.

Stability is moderate, but it's a strong choice for advanced players comfortable with potion management.

Recommended Subclass: Alchemist

Alchemist is mandatory at Round 8. Cauldron is the centerpiece.

Core Items and Placement

Item	Role
Cauldron	Class core; continuous upgraded potion generation
Various potions (Vampiric, Mana, Health, etc.)	Main resources
Potion Belt	Bag expansion + random potion buffs
Mana Orb	Mana supply for potion triggers
Hungry Blade or Bloodthorn	Lifesteal weapon (synergizes with Vampiric Potion)
Armor / Shield	Defensive layer

Center Cauldron and place potions around it. Place Potion Belt at the back of the bag to maximize bag expansion.

Build Order

Early game (Rounds 1-6)

Prioritize Health Potion and Mana Potion. Chip with Wooden Sword.

Mid game (Rounds 7-12)

Take Alchemist at Round 8. Center Cauldron and place potions around it. Add Potion Belt when it appears.

Late game (Round 13+)

The end form is a state where upgraded potions are continuously generated. Vary effects to keep the opponent off-balance.

Tactics and Positioning

The build's strength is the variety of potion effects. Vampiric for lifesteal, Mana for Mana supply, Health for healing — switch based on the situation. Stability is moderate, so accept the RNG element.

Difficult Matchups and Counters

• Buff-strip: removing potion buffs hurts. Counter with Amethyst.
• Opening-rush: assembly takes time. Layer shield + helm early.
• High armor: potion damage struggles to pierce. Add a weapon like Hungry Blade alongside.

Variations

Combining with Venomancer (Snake) creates a poison + potion hybrid. Pairing with Vampiress (Nocturnal Rock Lifter) for lifesteal + potion also works.
