-Its good potions are(According to lvl so the first potion is what the alchemist has for the first lvl)speed,health boost,resistance and jump boost(for walls)
-Mix with pekka so they can jump over walls and walk faster
Defensive strategies
-The Alchemist has low health(not tanky and slow attack speed) good trap placement can get rid of it easily.
-getting splash damage(Mortar, wiz tower and inferno tower)can easily kill the alchemist if troops near the alchemist
-If your attacker spams alchemists x-bows can kill them easily(lvl 8 cannons should be able to 2 shot them).
-Since the alchemists ignores walls they would walk around your base(good wall placement will cause the alchemist to wander).If troops but wall the alchemist will wait for the troops to break the wall
-Alchemists will stay relatively near your troops so wizards as your clan castle troops will be able to kill large groups,causing the alchemist to be isolated.
-Since the alchemist cant heal troops your troops will die to splash damage buildings easily
Bad potions,Based on lvl:
-poison potions
