Alchemist 2.0 has arrived!
With a freshened up set of moves, more opportunities to play with pips, and overhauls across the board, Alchemist is back and better than ever!
Change Notes:
Additions:

Water Stance:

Water Form:
- Reworked to replace Water Stance. Comes out instantly as an invulnerable spotdodge for 9f, similar to how it worked before, but now instead of being a singular action that can be used in the stance before returning to Alchemist's normal state, it leads into the other moves within the stance.
Water Wheel:

- Remade entirely. How is one large fish that, after a delay, zooms ahead a short distance and deals 1 hit of damage.

- Instead, creates a hitbox on landing that deals damage.
- This is the only way I could make the move work on the itch version without it breaking. Am sorry :(
