Alchemist Skill Build

Skill Builds

Alch is one of those heroes that can be built a few different ways. All the skill builds have you make out your nuke-stun first, and that is probably the only thing that is absolutely set in stone for playing Alch. I'll present 3 skill builds. Each one serves a particular playstyle, and I'll explain each one.

The Face Smasher
1. Unstable Concoction
2. Acid Spray
3. Unstable Concoction
4. Acid Spray
5. Unstable Concoction
6. Chemical Rage
7. Unstable Concoction
8. Acid Spray
9. Acid Spray
10. Goblin's Greed
11. Chemical Rage
12. Goblin's Greed
13. Goblin's Greed
14. Goblin's Greed
15. Stats
16. Chemical Rage

This build is optimized towards getting into your opponents' faces as fast as possible. You stun, you spray acid, you smack them until they die, and you do it during the early game. That's the idea behind this skill build.

I also recommend this when facing off against a weak lane. Say a Juggernaut paired with a Phantom Assassin. You can basically free farm as long as you set yourself up as the dominant force in the lane.


The Rich Man
1. Unstable Concoction
2. Goblin's Greed
3. Acid Spray
4. Goblin's Greed
5. Acid Spray
6. Chemical Rage
7. Acid Spray
8. Acid Spray
9. Goblin's Greed
10. Goblin's Greed
11. Chemical Rage
12. Unstable Concoction
13. Unstable Concoction
14. Unstable Concoction
15. Stats
16. Chemical Rage

This is for those who have the $$$ in their eyes. If you have absolutely phenomenal last hitting ability, you'll be able to fully utilize this skill build. You stay a threat since you have your stun, and you become a bigger threat with your intensive farming. Maxing out Acid Spray intensifies your farming and allows you to last hit much easier as well as harassing enemies in the lane (especially melee heroes).

I would almost never recommend doing this build. It's useful in one very select situation that should never happen: your team has no carry. Then it falls to you to step up and farm your damn heart out. Finish ALL your core items by the 15-20 minute mark and one luxury item by 25-27 minutes. Go kill the other team and lol while they realize they shouldn't have let you farm.


Harmony
1. Unstable Concoction
2. Goblin's Greed
3. Unstable Concoction
4. Stats
5. Unstable Concoction
6. Chemical Rage
7. Unstable Concoction
8. Acid Spray
9. Acid Spray
10. Acid Spray
11. Chemical Rage
12. Acid Spray
13. Goblin's Greed
14. Goblin's Greed
15. Goblin's Greed
16. Chemical Rage

This is my personal build. I am a big believer in taking a level of stats in the early game for that little bit of extra padding on both HP and Mana. I've been saved by it enough to really incorporate it into most of my gameplay.

You'll notice the one level of Goblin's Greed. If you're able to chain your last hits back to back, it really pumps up your gold income by around 15-20% in the early game. I take Acid Spray going into the mid game when I'm assisting in ganks and pushing lanes.
