If Dimensional Alchemist activates with priority and is destroyed by Torrential as CL2, does it miss timing?✓

Dimensional Alchemist Torrential Tribute

Dimensional Alchemist uses priority, then Torrential is chained.

Yes. If it is destroyed as CL2, the last thing to happen is not its trigger condition, so it misses timing.

Missing Timing Priority

Does Dimensional Alchemist miss timing if used as a Tribute for Archlord Kristya?✓

Dimensional Alchemist Archlord Kristya

You Tribute Summon Archlord Kristya using Dimensional Alchemist.

Yes. The Tribute is a cost for the Summon, so Dimensional Alchemist will miss timing. Also, Dimensional Alchemist needs to be destroyed and tributing is not the same as destroying.
