*'''Heat It Up''' — Passively increases the Attack Power of all [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s on the player's side by 10. It only affects the damage dealt by "attacks" and ignores most damage-dealing card effects like the [[Boomerang Monkey (BCS)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s additional hit or the [[Thunder Druid]]'s On Play effect.

Gwendolin is less flexible at dealing direct damage than [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]], but she compensates for this through her ability to damage bloons with On Fire effects and her unique synergies with other Monkeys. Gwendolin strategies benefit from all of her hero-exclusive cards, though [[Firestorm]] stands out for its cheap Gold cost and whole-screen damage without needing Bloontonium. The other hero-exclusive cards assist at defensive combos against single bloons, with [[Extreme Heat]] standing out for instakills and [[Gwen's Choice]] for extending her archetype coverage.

Although well-suited for midrange decks, aggro Gwendolin can still be used for the purposes of farming achievements, such as 100 wins with Gwendolin, by playing on [[Amelia's Adventure]]; otherwise, [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] provides more efficient defense from Bloontonium. Her best deck archetype is tempo, particularly those involving piling up large quantities of Bloons such as [[MOAB (BCS)|MOAB]]s and [[BFB (BCS)|BFB]]s. She is also effective at defending against tempo decks herself if the opponent's Bloons are slow.

Gwendolin decks ideally should have some On Fire Monkeys, notably [[Burny Stuff Mortar]], to synergize with her Flame Strike ability or most of her hero-exclusive cards.

*Similar to Quincy, if you are about to overflow on Bloontonium, you can use one or two Fireballs before gaining more Bloontonium. However, if a Bloon is already On Fire, using a Fireball is impossible.

*You can use the extra Fireballs to act as a "marked for death" for bloons that are planned to be hit by Flame Strike's 250 damage to burning bloons.

*Certain Monkeys are protected against an opponent's [[Bed Time]] if Gwendolin has an active Heat It Up. Notable examples include the [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BCS)|Super Monkey Fan Club]], [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]], and [[Frag Bomb Shooter]].

*+10 ATK is an effective buff particularly to Monkeys that take advantage of ATK. [[Frag Bomb Shooter]] and [[Triple Shot (BCS)|Triple Shot]] are good examples.
**Notably, +10 ATK can allow [[Tack Sprayer (BCS)|Tack Sprayer]] and [[Elite Defender (BCS)|Elite Defender]] to always two-shot a [[Pink Bloon (BCS)|Pink Bloon]] buffed only by Dark Castle and [[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]], but not the first Pink from [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]].
