Gwendolin (BTD6): Difference between revisions

| rl tower 2 = WizardMonkey

Gwendolin [[attack]]s by shooting fireballs at Bloons from her flamethrower. Initially, each flame pops up to 2 Bloons at a rate of every 0.5 seconds. Almost every level improves her flame attack. All of her attacks cannot pop [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s without support until she reaches at least level 16, and all of her activated<!--not "passive attacks"--> abilities can affect Camo.

*Starting at level 4, she gains a passively generating Heat It Up attack that is triggered every 40 shots from her flamethrower, creating a high-pierce radial fire attack that additionally buffs nearby towers with +1 pierce and gives the ability to pop [[Freeze|frozen]] and [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloons]]. Starting at level 17, the buff grants additional damage to all Bloons, especially Lead Bloons.

*Starting at level 5, she grants extra attack speed and radius for [[Ring of Fire (BTD6)|Ring of Fire]], [[Dragon's Breath (BTD6)|Dragon's Breath]], and [[Signal Flare (BTD6)|Signal Flare]], which is improved at level 18.

**'''Firestorm''' (level 10) — Damages and burns all non-Purple Bloons on screen and immediately applies a Heat It Up effect for all other towers on screen.

Gwendolin's main attack is a flamethrower that shoots flame projectiles. It deals 1 [[damage type|Fire-type]] [[damage]] and has 2 [[pierce]], and she attacks every 0.5 seconds.

|Damage increases to 2. Starting at this level, each level increases burn duration by 1 second and damage per tick by 1. It has 4s duration and 2 damage at level 9 and reaches 15s duration and 13 damage at level 20.

|Pierce increases to 8. Projectile speed increases to 250 units/s. Projectile lifetime increases to 1.25 seconds.

|Damage type changes to Normal, allowing it to damage [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s.

'''Heat It Up''' unlocks at level 4. It is a burst of fire that damages nearby [[Bloon]]s and buffs nearby [[tower]]s. The attack triggers at Gwendolin's position every 40 shots or after 1.5 seconds since it last triggered, whichever takes longer. Both the fire burst and buff have a radius of 38 units.

|Damage type of the fire burst changes to Normal.

|Buff now also grants +1 damage and +2 damage to [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s.

'''Cocktail of Fire''' unlocks at level 3. It causes Gwendolin to throw a [[wp:molotov cocktail|molotov cocktail]] on the track, creating a [[Wall of Fire (BTD6)|Wall of Fire]]-like projectile that rapidly damages Bloons that pass through it. It can damage [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]]s even if Gwendolin does not have [[Camo detection]]. The player can set the cocktail's landing point to anywhere within Gwendolin's range using the [[targeting option]], even behind [[line of sight]] blockers. It deals 1 [[Damage type|Fire-type]] damage every 0.2 seconds, hitting up to 20 Bloons at a time in a 15-unit radius each tick, and lasts for 12 seconds or until destroyed on contact with an immune Bloon. The ability has a 30-second cooldown.

|Damage type changes to Normal (for both the wall of fire and the damage over time).

|Damage per tick to Bloons inside the wall of fire increases to 5. Damage per tick to MOAB-Class Bloons over time increases to 8.

|Damage type changes to Normal (for both the initial hit and the damage over time). Damage over time duration increases to 10.4 seconds. Damage per tick over time increases to 5 for regular Bloons and 20 for MOAB-class.

|Initial damage increases to 10 for regular Bloons and 50 for MOAB-class. Damage per tick over time increases to 10 for regular Bloons and 30 for MOAB-class.

Gwendolin stands out in strategies that need consistent lead-popping against DDTs and do generally low base damage and attack quickly, as assisted by her Heat-It-Up, plus multiple ways to pop large groups of non-Purple Bloons. Place her close to the main defenses.
