Alchemists are a silver era special melee infantry unit.

In-Game Description

Alchemy has produced weapons such as the Empyrean flamethrower and the poisoned arrows of the Rattan Vipers, but it has also been used to help and heal through the study of 'spagyrics', an off-shoot of alchemy dedicated to making medicines through alchemical processes. The "Ordre spagyrique de la miséricorde" or Spagyric Order of Mercy is an institution dedicated to healing the sick, and in this time of crisis have volunteered their services to aid the armies of the king. Following the example of Gabrielle-Maëlys, the Maid of the Holy Vision, these fearless women brave the horrors of the battlefield, dispensing healing under fire to their comrades, all while armed with nothing more than a small knife each and some smoke bombs.

Acquisition

Alchemists are obtained from the Season XI: Paragons seasonal challenges.

Unit Traits

Trait	In-Game Description
▲ [Courage in Adversity]	Alchemists will not actively attack the enemy when using Healing Hands or Blinding Smoke. When given an Attack order, they will wield their knives and fights like a melee unit until ordered to use Healing Hands or Blinding Smoke, at which point they will put away their weapons once more.
▲ [Dress Code]	This unit can only use attires exclusive to it.

Formations

Formation	In-Game Description
Dispersed	The unit forms a spread-out square formation to lessen the impact of ranged attacks.
Line	The Alchemists spread out somewhat into ranks.

Unit Orders

Healing Hands

Cooldown: 11s

basic

The unit will set up and remain in the designated spot to give a powerful healing effect to any friendly wounded unit sent to them. When an allied spear unit is in the recovery area, its Block recovery speed is doubled.

Blinding Smoke

Cooldown: 30s

basic

The unit throws a smoke bomb at the designated area, temporarily slowing movement speed of nearby enemy units. The smoke will also affect the firing accuracy of enemy units within the area. Rain and snow will degrade the smokescreen effect.

First Aid

Cooldown: 40s

basic

The Alchemists give medical attention to all allies within range, helping them recover 10% of their maximum health over 20 seconds.
