AoE explosive vials — Acid Flask hits all enemies and applies burn stacks.
"Precision is overrated. Radius is not."
When a Alchemist reaches level 10 and you select Bomber, two things change permanently:
Explosive Flask: Hurls an Explosive Flask that applies a burn DoT to all living enemies. AP increases burn damage per tick.
Bomber grants the following ability score bonuses on top of the Alchemist base scores:
These bonuses stack with ability score points allocated from levelling. They cannot be removed without retiring the hero.
Magic (AP for burn DoT damage scaling), Chaos (Venom Transmutation for burn+poison stacking).
See the Skill Tree deep dive for the full 120-node reference and routing advice, or the Alchemist build guide for a complete path recommendation for this class.
Both subclasses unlock at level 10. Compare them to choose:
| Bomber | Transmuter | |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | AoE explosive vials — Acid Flask hits all enemies and applies burn stacks. | Guaranteed item drop on every kill — turns base materials into rare loot. |
| Stat Bonus | +2 Intelligence, +1 Agility | +2 Dexterity, +1 Intelligence |
| Details | This page | Transmuter page → |
The choice is permanent — use a Scroll of Divergence consumable to re-select without retiring the hero.
Set an Archetype with Bomber as the guild standard for Alchemist — all future recruits of that class will automatically receive this subclass at level 10 without any manual selection.
