Also, don't be afraid to chase down your opponents. Alchemist can phase through attack combo's, so you're safe in that.

Another tip: Cure!

Using cure not only helps your teammates, but has a nifty delay that you can grab, or giant punch with.

Ooo. I didn't get that last bit too but I have seen that once. My Arme was like, going falling-not falling again and again on the ledge.
I'm pretty sure it's Poison Cloud. Though Dash Attacking people while in they're in the cloud is a bad idea (I just learnt it later on) since the dash attack will knock them down. Using a cash skill works well with this though but you'd have to use it at least twice to make a difference, since the attack will still throw them off.
Oh and I noticed too that Dash Attack has erm, some invulnerability frames? I'm not entirely sure though. Cus I've noticed sometimes, when they're spinning, Stone Curse don't hit them. =o Must be lag?
I haven't played Alchemist in forever. >< This is inspiring me to play it again. :D

I'm still having issues remembering to not dash attack people while they're in the cloud, though most of the time I don't mean to and am just missing a grab because i suck <_<

The cash skill works well for me in the poison cloud but the more inside the cloud that they are the longer they'll stay inside it and take damage. If their like on the edge they will just kinda fly away after a few seconds I also like to finish this combo off with a grab. I never miss when they can't move. :D

Though I do feel that thats the way I HAVE to play to win, like trying to keep them were I want them, cause with my def they pretty much pwn me in one combo string.

I feel mean doing that combo sometimes though cause it looks reallllly hard to get out of, I haven't fought many alchemists though..weird how there doesn't seem to be many but theirs so many threads about them! where are you guys! come teach me how to pwn. or just play with me the only alchemist I've ever seen in action was Cow, but that was a long time ago when I was about level 12..those were some pretty epic survival matches. but all the mages were warlocks except for Cow. I love watching people that kinda know what their doing.. :d but i was high on some weird seeds and salvia..so I don't know if i remember it too well.

Hi this is my first post and i never thought i would post but i couldn't resist giving you some more advice u missed about alchy.

here it is: if you poison cloud your opponent in pvp then get real close to them and use cure you freeze your opponent in the gas. You don't have to bomb stun them at all unless ur sure they dont have mp and cant counter but yeah there it is. Cloud poison + cure= outraged enemy

(Note, a lot of this has already been covered by players such as Fuiko or Zhon; I'll only cover the stuff that I think they could be more elaborate on, or have missed)

:P Oh, there it is. (In reference to the last three posts)

Not to mention cure delay grabbing.. or is that illegal now, due to the fact that Armes have too high attack? D:
Or the punch 2x + cure freeze, then grabbing.. :x Maybe it's just me that thinks that's useful then.. *shrug*

You have the best combo ender ever.

There were a lot of things in your original post that were off ever so slightly, you may want to consider revising when you get home.

>.> And I timed it, it's just barely over a second for 6 bombs.

Also, in my opinion it's good to find a balance between skills and normal attacks. If you rely too much on cloud kill you'll be limited to how often you can effectively attack, while if you rely too much on bombs and dash attacks you'll never get that one-shot-kill effect that Alchemists are so good for. Unless of course you can bomb juggle... ;)

Seems like everyone's writing Alchemist guides these days. I'm too lazy to explain all my stuff in text, so maybe I'll make another video...

Anyways, nice start to it so far Cons, hope to see more.

Oh, another question.
Is the Cash Skill, the mega-fist, good for anything other than throwing people far, far away?

I love the first bar alchemist cash.

I'll explain it later in my post, it's an AWESOME skill and I can't imagine supplimenting without it again.

D< Haha, it's Poison Cloud. I have a tendancy to name the skills whatever I want.

(I used to call Big Bomb "Bazooka")

The "megafist" does fairly decent damage, as I've seen. Additionally, you can use it for a pretty nifty combo - if you set up a gas EXACTLY at where a corner is, then use the cash skill to knock them into the gas, then they're hasted and take damage for the entire time they're in the gas (it's important to set it up at the corner, because otherwise, they fly past the gas.)

Also, I forgot to note: Clouding an Arme is highly ineffective, even if you do get him/her trapped in the center; by timing the keys to the haste, an Arme can easily achieve a teledash (which surpasses both the cloud and the haste), meaning, two ->->s with the right interval in between, and they escape.
