Guide To Alchemist, Razzil Darkbrew

Introduction

                Alchemist is one of the best tanker heroes in DotA. He is a more of a tanker hero than a carry but if farmed correctly can also become a great carry hero. Now, since his stun has been reworked he is able to become a support hero. If not played and farmed correctly this hero may prove almost useless even for tanking in the game. But if farmed correctly it could change the course of the game from defeat to conquest. One may need good support from the ally to make him carry in the game else it would make him very agile and vulnerable hero in the game.
