Need help with Clone Master Alchemist build.

[Tiny Coffee Golem]

I could use some character build advice.

The game is currently 3rd level, 20 pt buy, all Paizo is open game.

I'm familiar with Wizards, but not so much with Melee and definitely not with Alchemists.

As mentioned I'm presently 3rd level, but I'd like some advice on how to plan for the future.

Also, With reduced bomb damage what do I do in combat?

Last try.

Bombs still work, just at a reduced damage die, so their splash damage does exactly the same amount of damage as vanilla Alchemists, plus the Discoveries that change the bomb damage into something else, like Smoke or Dispelling bombs for example.
