Gwendolin focuses on spread damage and setting [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s [[On Fire]].
'''Gwendolin''' is a [[Hero (BCS)|Hero]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. She is unlocked alongside the Gwendolin Starter deck by completing the Tutorial campaign in [[The Basics]].
*'''Fireball''' sets a selected Bloon On Fire. It can target Bloons on either side.
*'''Heat It Up''' 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 damage-dealing card effects like the [[Boomerang Monkey (BCS)|Boomerang Monkey]]'s additional hit or the [[Thunder Druid]]'s On Play effect.
*'''Flame Strike''' attacks all Bloons on the opponent's side. Bloons that are not On Fire are set On Fire, while Bloons that are already On Fire take 250 damage instead.


Gwendolin focuses on spread damage and setting [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]]s [[On Fire]]. She is also one of several heroes who can buff friendly Monkeys.

*'''Flame Strike''' — Attacks all Bloons on the opponent's side, setting them all On Fire. Bloons that are already On Fire take 250 damage instead.

{{BTD6 last updated|6.1|section=y}}
Gwendolin is less flexible at direct damage than [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]], but compensates this with being able to do more damage onto higher-delay bloons with her On Fire effects, and adding unique synergies with other Monkeys and against bloons already On Fire. All of her hero-exclusive cards are beneficial to Gwendolin strategies, although [[Firestorm (BCS)|Firestorm]] stands out for its cheap Gold cost and wholescreen damage without needing Bloontonium.  
{{strategy needed|Add more tempo stuffs and how to use her and whatnot}}
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. Many of her 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.


Although best suited for midrange and control decks, aggro Gwendolin can still be used for the purposes of farming achievements, such as 100 wins with Gwendolin, as otherwise [[Quincy (BCS)|Quincy]] provides more efficient defense from bloontonium. For aggro Gwendolin, rush the opponent with swarms of low-cost 1 delay bloons, and only use Firestorm as a last resort against swarms.
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.


==Tips==
===Tips===
*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: [[Super Monkey Fan Club (BCS)|Super Monkey Fan Club]], [[Tack Sprayer (BCS)|Tack Sprayer]], [[Blade Maelstrom (BCS)|Blade Maelstrom]].
*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]].
