Hey Kyro! You keep saying that Chemists/!Mix are loving broken! How?! I'm glad you asked! !Mix is the best ability in the game by a loving light year. The reason? It is so unbelievably flexible. It can do things that no other ability can do, and has monstrous depth of both offense, defense, and utility. Let's address them: Offense Turtle Shell + Maiden's Kiss = Succubus' Kiss - So you know how good the Drain spell is, right? Imagine if it did eight times as much damage. That's Succubus' Kiss. A Chemist in their mid 20s can do upwards of 2000 damage with this. Put !Mix on a magical class and seeing upper 4ks/lower 5ks is not unexpected. Ether + Maiden's Kiss = Lamia's Kiss - You know the spell Osmose? Imagine if it drained eight times as much MP. That's Lamia's Kiss. You can empty a target like Gilgamesh on Big Bridge with like three of these bad boys. Dragon Fang + Holy Water = Holy Breath - Damage in Holy element equal to the user's current HP. A huge ability for taking out Exdeath in World 2 if your offense is otherwise weak, as he's weak to Holy (so it does 2x damage). Combine with the Goliath Tonic from !Drink to double your max HP and thus damage. Dragon Fang + Dragon Fang = Dragon Breath - Same thing as Holy Breath, but in Fire/Ice/Lightning elements. Since it's all three, if a target absorbs any of the three, it'll be absorbed, so be careful. Antidote + Dragon Fang = Poison Breath - Unlike the above Breaths, it does half your current HP in Poison damage. Cheaper than Holy/Dragon Breath if you're hitting someone with a Poison weakness, though, like Azulmagia. Dark Matter + Dark Matter = Shadow Flare - A slightly weaker version of Flare that also inflicts HP Leak/Sap. Dark Matter + Phoenix Down = Death Potion - Instant death for a single target. Lots of bosses you wouldn't expect can be hit with this, like the Dragon Plant in Drakenvale. It's also guaranteed to hit! Defense Ether + Eye Drops = Resist Fire - Target gains absorption status for Fire damage, like a consumable version of a Flame Ring without the downside. Antidote + Phoenix Down = Resist Ice - Same as above, but replace Fire with Ice. Eye Drops + Phoenix Down = Resist Thunder - Same as above, but replace Fire with Thunder. Dragon Fang + Phoenix Down = Dragon Defense - Grants Reflect, Shell, Protect, and Regen. Eye Drops + Turtle Shell = Hasty-Ade - Grants Haste. Hugely useful before you get Hermes' Sandals. Dragon Fang + Ether = Dragon Shielding - Grants immunity to Fire, Ice, and Lightning. If you need to just null the elements instead of absorb (say, against Omega), this is much faster than three different mixes. Dragon Fang + Elixir = Goliath Tonic - If you don't want to put !Drink on a non-chemist, this can replicate that drink. Costly, though. Holy Water + Phoenix Down = Life Potion - Grants immunity to instant-death attacks. Dragon Fang + Maiden's Kiss = Dragon Kiss - Grants heavy status (i.e. boss immunities!!!) and Dragon status to target. Nullifies so much poo poo that I can't list it all. Probably one of the most powerful Mixes in the game. Healing Ether + Potion = X-Potion - Fully restores target's HP, but ignores their MP. Enormous healing for groups with no need for MP restoration from Ethers. Ether + Hi-Potion = Balm of Gilead - Fully restores target's MP. Much cheaper than an Elixir for full MP restore. Godlike for groups with Summoners. Maiden's Kiss + Phoenix Down = Kiss of Life - Raises target with 50% of HP and MP. Potion + Phoenix Down = Resurrection - Raises target with full HP. Ether + Phoenix Down = Reincarnate - Raises target with full HP and MP. Turtle Shell + Phoenix Down = Remedy - Removes Stone, Toad, Mini, Poison, Darkness, Aging, Sleep, Paralyze, Charm, Berserk, Mute, Stop, Slow. Yeah. Utility Holy Water + Antidote = Samson's Might - Grants a target +10 Levels. Since Level is shorthand for "LITERALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT VARIABLE IN THE GAME", this is loving enormous. Dragon Fang + Potion/Hi-Power = Dragon Power - Grants a target +20 Levels. See above for how huge this is. Antidote + Maiden's Kiss = Levisalve - Need to float over poo poo, say for Catastrophe or Titan? Here you go, no more screwing around with Gaelicats. Holy Water + Maiden's Kiss = Blessed Kiss - Grants Haste, Berserk, and Image. On the SNES version only, this is bugged and bypasses enemy berserk immunity. What this means is that monsters will only attack, and will ignore their AI scripting, including React: Death scripts, causing such things as SKIPPING NEO-EXDEATH. Holy Water + Eyedrops = Elemental Power - Grants Element Power Up for every element in the game. Holy poo poo, it makes Leviathan useful. There are other Mixes I didn't mention, but they're more niche ones that you really don't use a lot. But yeah, !Mix is loving ridiculous for difficult fights, and why are you fighting trash that doesn't drop Dragon Fangs, Turtle Shells, or Dark Matter? Christ, power up your Chicken Knife already.
