In this unconventional pairing, a fanatical Goblin master rides on the back of his Ogre slave. Despite undergoing a series of chemical "treatments" to enforce compliance, the Ogre sometimes shows signs of independence and even outright defiance. However, these outbursts are swiftly quelled by the Goblin master, who can be like his concoctions -- harsh and volatile. Though personal differences may at times distract this duo, when it comes to biological warfare and raw, brute strength, the Goblin Alchemist and his Ogre slave are truly at the top of their game!

Abilities

Healing Spray
	Cast Type : Channel  Ability Type:  Universal Target Type : Area Target Sprays waves of healing mist that heals units in a target area.
Cast Requirements : 75 6 s  Range:  800 Targets Allowed : Friend, Self, Ground, Air, Organic Area of Effect : 250 Amount per Wave : 30/45/60 Waves : 3/4/5 Heal cap per Wave : 280/385/490 Hotkey : E

Notes:

• Full hp units are counted into heal cap despite not getting any healing, so when healing more than 9/8/8 units you should try moving away full hp units from heal area.
• If the enemy is focusing fire on your Alchemist, self-heal with Healing Spray while also healing your other nearby units. The Alchemist's hero armor means he gets more effective HP than other unit types being healed, so your other units can apply pressure while the Alchemist soaks up damage.

Chemical Rage
	Cast Type : Active  Ability Type:  Magical Target Type : No Target The Alchemist causes his Ogre to enter a chemically induced rage, increasing movement rate by 40% and increasing attack rate.
Cast Requirements : 25 30 s Duration : 15 s Attack Rate % Bonus : 25/75/125 Movement Speed : 40% Transform Duration : 0.35 seconds Notes : Even though the green colored attack speed indicates that the Alchemist's attack speed is increased this is not true. In fact the Alchemist is only replaced by a unit with a higher base attack speed. In this form Alchemist can exceed 400 speed limit and reach 522 speed limit. Hotkey : R

Acid Bomb
	Cast Type : Active  Ability Type:  Magical Target Type : Unit Target Hurls a flask of acid at a target. The flask breaks upon impact, splashing a powerful acid on nearby hostile units. Decreases armor; deals slightly less damage over time to nearby targets.
Cast Requirements : 75 12 s  Range:  700 Targets Allowed : Ground, Enemy, Neutral, Organic, Air Area of Effect : 200 Duration : 15 s Armor Penalty : 3/4/5 Target Damage : 5/10/17 per second Secondary Damage : 3/6/11 per second Notes : Cannot be removed via Mass Dispel and other such effects (aside from Mirror Image). Hotkey : B

Transmute
	Cast Type : Active  Ability Type:  Universal Target Type : Unit Target Kills a target unit instantly, transforming it into gold which is added to your available gold! Transmute cannot be used on Heroes, or creeps above level 5.
Cast Requirements : 150 45 s  Range:  650 Targets Allowed : Air, Ground, Enemy, Neutral, Non-Hero Gold : 100% of target unit's gold cost. Hotkey : T

• Transmute gold yield is affected by upkeep level.
• Cannot be used against units with Resistant Skin passive.
• The Alchemist becomes a terrifying force of attrition once he gets Transmute. Your opponent will be forced to engage you if you slowly keep turning his highest-cost units into gold. Try to ensure the Alchemist always has sufficient mana to use Transmute, especially since it has a low cooldown. Buying a mana potion for your Alchemist can often pay for itself!

Ready to brew!	Wanna blow something up?" I'm all stocked and ready to go." Care for a cocktail?" You'll love my new recipe.	You got it! I'll get that mixed up. Don’t rush me. I'll shake that right up!	Taste my fiery potions! Hurry, I've got things to blow up! Bob and weave, you fool!	For the highest bidder!	What do you wanna be when you blow up? I'm a chemical superfreak. No! Shaken, not-- (sudden explosion) One of these potions smells awful... (ogre giggles) Goblin: "Hey, pull his finger." Ogre: "That’s not my finger!" (Glass breaks) Goblin: "Oh, no, what did I drop?" Ogre: "Oh yeah..." (Marvin Gaye begins to play       in background) Goblin: "Wait, what are you doing?! Oh no, not       the love potion!	(Ogre groans) "Oh, oh no, ooohh!" (said by the goblin, before the ogre falls on his stomach with a thud)
