Razzil Darkbrew the Alchemist is a strong and tough tank or carry melee Hero that can make money faster and earn more items than other Heroes. He possesses bizarre and unfavorable attributes, having low Strength gain, pathetic Agility, and an Intelligence the same as his Strength, making his overall attributes the lowest among all the Heroes. However, he can sustain damage well, regenerates quickly, and can damage Magic Immune units with his abilities.

Alchemist is one of the more difficult Heroes to use, depending much of his efficiency from his farm and his abilities which also require great timing, making him a bad hero for new players to experiment with. He is recommended for intermediate to advanced players.

[edit] Bio

Razzil Darkbrew, the Alchemist
"I'm the brains!" "And I'm the brawn!"
Role:	Durable / Carry / Disabler
Lore:	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.

Using traditional Alchemy from the Darkbrew family, Razzil concocts an acid that dissolves even the toughest metals.

Unstable Concoction

Ability	Affects	Damage
Target Unit	Enemy Heroes	Physical

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. After 5 seconds, the brew reaches its maximum damage and stun time. However, after 7 seconds, the concoction will explode on Alchemist himself if not thrown.

Range: 775
Maximum Stun Duration: 1.75/2.5/3.25/4
Maximum Damage: 130/200/270/340

A silver lining to the failure of turning a mountain into gold, this volatile solution has destructive potential.

Notes:

While brewing the concoction, Alchemist can still move around and take action.

A timer above Alchemist's head will indicate the remaining brew time.

Maximum effects will be achieved after 5 seconds brewing time.

It will blow up if channeled for more than 7 seconds without throwing, checking at 0.5 second intervals (allows up to 7.5 seconds brew time)

The concoction moves at 900 speed, and provides 400/400 sight range.

If the concoction explodes mid air, it will affect one enemy unit within 175 radius around its position.

Stun and damage does not take effect on to self if Alchemist is magic immune.

[edit] Trivia

At one point during beta, Alchemist's bio consisted entirely of the following sentence: "Alchemist is named Al and is a chemist. "^[1]
The name "Razzil Darkbrew" is actually a reference name to a WarCraft III Alchemist character. His name is one of the few who still keeps it in Dota 2, despite being a source from WarCraft.
