Razzil Darkbrew, the Alchemist[edit]
| Recommended Roles |
 Carry  Support  Durable  Disabler  Initiator  Nuker
|
The sacred science of Chymistry was a Darkbrew family tradition, but no Darkbrew had ever shown the kind of creativity, ambition, and recklessness of young Razzil. However, when adulthood came calling he pushed aside the family trade to try his hand at manufacturing gold through Alchemy.
In an act of audacity befitting his reputation, Razzil announced he would transmute an entire mountain into gold. Following two decades of research and spending and preparation, he failed spectacularly, quickly finding himself imprisoned for the widespread destruction his experiment wrought. Yet Razzil was never one to take a setback lightly, and sought escape to continue his research.
When his new cellmate turned out to be a fierce ogre, he found just the opportunity he needed. After convincing the ogre not to eat him, Razzil set about carefully concocting a tincture for it to drink, made from the moulds and mosses growing in the prison stone work. In a week's time, it seemed ready. When the ogre drank the potion, it flew into an unstoppable berserker rage, destroying the cell bars and exploding through walls and guards alike.
They soon found themselves lost somewhere in the forest surrounding the city with a trail of wreckage in their wake and no signs of pursuit. In the tonic's afterglow, the ogre seemed serene, happy, and even eager. Resolving to work together, the pair set off to collect the materials needed to attempt Razzil's Alchemic transmutation once more.
Synthesizing extra resources from each and every kill, Alchemist has no trouble gathering the tools needed to destroy his foes. Ambushing enemies with corrosive acid and a host of unstable chemicals, he battles to ensure his greedy escapades can remain uninterrupted.
Abilities[edit]
Acid Spray
QD
Sprays highly volatile acid across the target area. Enemy units within the contaminated area take damage per second and have their armor reduced.

Using traditional Alchemy from the Darkbrew family, Razzil concocts an acid that dissolves even the toughest metals.
Notes
- Total damage:
- 320/400/480/560
Unstable Concoction
WE
Alchemist brews up an unstable concoction that he can throw at an enemy hero, to stun and deal damage. The longer the concoction brews, the more damage it deals and the longer the target is stunned. Alchemist is faster while charging the concoction. After a few seconds, the brew reaches its maximum damage and stun time. If not thrown after that point, the concoction will explode on Alchemist himself.
| Maximum Stun | 1.75/2.5/3.25/4 |

| Maximum Damage | 160/240/320/400 800 |

|---|
| Does not pierce Spell Immunity. | |
| Blocked by all Linkens/echoed by all Lotus in the area of effect. | |
| Dispellable with strong dispels. | |
| Cannot be disjointed. |
A silver lining to the failure of turning a mountain into gold, this volatile solution has destructive potential.
Notes
- Alchemist can move, attack, cast spells, and use items while the concoction is brewing.
- The concoction effect still explodes around Alchemist when self-destructing.
- Alchemist can deny himself with this ability if the concoction explodes on himself.
- The concoction is thrown at 900 movement speed and provides 300 flying vision.
- The brewing countdown can also be seen by enemies.
- Explosion damages enemy creeps within its radius
