What Changes at Level 10

When a Alchemist reaches level 10 and you select Bomber, two things change permanently:

  1. Stat bonuses are added to the hero's ability scores immediately and permanently.
  2. Active ability is replaced with the subclass variant (Explosive Flask).

Ability: Explosive Flask

Explosive Flask: Hurls an Explosive Flask that applies a burn DoT to all living enemies. AP increases burn damage per tick.

Permanent Stat Bonuses

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.

Recommended Skill Tree Themes

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.

The choice is permanent — use a Scroll of Divergence consumable to re-select without retiring the hero.

Applying via Archetype

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.
