Wildcard Hybrid
The Alchemist is high-variance by design. Each cast throws a random vial — Healing Vial (group heal), Acid Flask (AoE burn DoT), Speed Draught (attack timer advance), or Smoke Bomb (stun). Normal attacks have a 25% chance to throw a minor vial too. High ceiling, unpredictable floor. Best in 4–5 person parties where variance averages out.
| Score | Base Value | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| STR | 8 | Physical ATK contribution |
| VIT | 11 | Max HP pool |
| TOU | 9 | DEF and damage reduction |
| INT | 15 | Magical ATK and Ability Power |
| SPI | 12 | Healing magnitude and Ability Power |
| AGI | 9 | Attack speed tier and dodge |
| DEX | 8 | Crit chance and crit damage |
Intelligence and Spirit equally — both scale Ability Power which determines all vial effect magnitudes. Some VIT for durability. No offensive stat investment needed for Alchemist.
See the Ability Scores & Stats reference for the full conversion formulas.
Throws a random vial: Healing Vial (heals all allies), Acid Flask (AoE burn DoT on all enemies), Speed Draught (readies the next attack), or Smoke Bomb (stuns a random enemy). Normal attacks have a 25% chance to throw a minor vial. AP scales magnitude and proc chance.
Bomber for more reliable DPS — Explosive Flask always applies burn DoT to every living enemy regardless of RNG. Transmuter for gold-generation hybrid — Conversion resets attack timer for an immediate strike plus 50% kill gold bonus.
| Subclass | Stat Bonus | Ability | Identity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bomber | +2 Intelligence, +1 Agility | Explosive Flask | AoE explosive vials — Acid Flask hits all enemies and applies burn stacks. |
| Transmuter | +2 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence | Conversion | Guaranteed item drop on every kill — turns base materials into rare loot. |
Magic cluster (Pure Caster for AP ceiling, Mana Surge for sustained cast output), Chaos cluster (Venom Transmutation to stack Acid Flask burns with poison). Fortune cluster for Transmuter (gold bonus compounds).
