'''Scientist Gwendolin''' is a [[Hero Alt]] of [[Gwendolin (Battles 2)|Gwendolin]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. She costs {{BTDB2 mm|2000|name=y}} and {{BTDB2 hp|40000|Gwendolin|name=y}} to unlock.

Scientist Gwendolin's basic [[attack]] shoots fireballs that deal [[Damage type|fire-type]] [[damage]] to up to 3 Bloons per shot, and deal extra damage to [[Bloon]]s covered in [[glue]] and/or [[acid]]. She cannot damage [[Purple Bloon (Battles 2)|Purple Bloon]]s and cannot detect [[Camo Bloon (Battles 2)|Camo Bloon]]s~~. As she levels up, her attack gains more [[pierce]] and [[damage]] and shoots more [[projectile]]s at a time~~. Compared to Gwendolin, she focuses specifically on synergizing with [[Glue Gunner (Battles 2)|Glue Gunner]]s and [[Alchemist (Battles 2)|Alchemist]]s.

As she levels up, her attack gains more [[pierce]] and [[damage]] and shoots more [[projectile]]s at a time, and she unlocks buffs and additional attacks.

*Starting at level 4, her attack occasionally triggers a burst of fire around her that damages Bloons in an area and temporarily [[tower buff|buffs]] [[tower]]s within her [[range]], granting them extra [[pierce]], bonus damage to Bloons with glue/acid, and the ability to damage [[Lead Bloon (Battles 2)|Lead Bloon]]s.

*Starting at level 5, she passively buffs the [[attack speed]] and [[projectile radius]] of all [[Glue Gunner (Battles 2)|Glue Gunner]]s with [[Glue Splatter (Battles 2)|Glue Splatter]] and [[Alchemist (Battles 2)|Alchemist]]s with [[Unstable Concoction (Battles 2)|Unstable Concoction]] on the map.

*Starting at level 6, her attack inflicts an effect on Bloons that deals fire-type [[damage over time]] for a few seconds.

*Her level 3 ability creates a temporary [[Wall of Fire (Battles 2)|Wall of Fire]]-like projectile on the track that damages Bloons that pass through and burns off glue and/or acid, dealing extra damage to affected Bloons depending on the strength of the effect removed.

*Her level 10 ability damages all Bloons on the map and deals extra damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, inflicts fire-type damage over time, burns off glue and/or acid, and grants all towers extra damage and her level 4 buff for a short time.

~~==Differences from Gwendolin==~~

Scientist Gwendolin has two activated abilities: Chemical Cocktail (Level 3), and Science Storm (Level 10):

~~{{outdated|~~Scientist Gwendolin ~~was reworked in v4.~~3~~.1 OTA 1~~ and ~~has completely different mechanics now}}~~

*'''Chemical Cocktail:''' creates a temporary [[Wall of Fire (Battles 2)|Wall of Fire]]-like projectile on the track that damages Bloons that pass through and burns off glue and/or acid, dealing extra damage to affected Bloons depending on the strength of the effect removed.

* ~~{{change|Scientist Gwendolin~~'~~s main attack and~~ Cocktail of Fire ~~does +1 lead damage and +1 frozen damage. All~~ of ~~her Heat it Up buffs also grant +1 lead damage~~ and ~~+1 frozen damage.}}~~

*'''Science Storm:''' damages all Bloons on the map and deals extra damage to [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s, inflicts fire-type damage over time, burns off glue and/or acid, and grants all towers extra damage and her level 4 buff for a short time.

* {{change|Heat it Up buffs grants +2 lead damage and ~~+2 frozen~~ damage ~~at level 16~~.}}

* ~~{{change|Scientist Gwendolin~~'~~s level 4 Heat it Up buff requires more shots to activate, and its duration is shorter.}}~~

* {{change|Scientist Gwendolin'~~s level 3 Cocktail of Fire has a shorter lifespan, but attacks faster~~ and ~~has more pierce.}}~~

* {{change|Scientist Gwendolin's ~~level 10 Firestorm has a shorter lifespan but ticks faster.}}~~

~~Compared to Gwendolin~~, ~~Scientist Gwendolin's abilities are stronger~~, ~~but their durations are shorter. She also does extra lead~~ and ~~frozen damage~~, and ~~her Heat it Up buffs grant~~ towers extra ~~lead~~ and ~~frozen damage as well. However,~~ her ~~passive Heat it Up~~ buff ~~requires more shots to activate, generally resulting in less buff uptime~~.

==Mechanics==

===Pyro gun===

Science Gwendolin uses her pyro gun to shoot flames at Bloons. Each flame is a straight-firing [[projectile]] that does 1 {{BTDB2 dt|Fire}}-type damage, does +1 damage against Bloons affected by glue, does +1 damage against Bloons affected by acid, and has 3 pierce. The flame [[attack]] has a cooldown of 0.5 seconds. She has 38 range.

===Heat it up===

[[File:BTDB2 scientist extra glue acid.png|50px|right]]

Every 36 attacks of Gwendolin's flame attack, she triggers an area-of-effect similar to [[Ring of Fire (Battles 2)|Ring of Fire]] that does 3 damage and pops infinite Bloons within this radius, as well as applying the Heat It Up buff to all nearby towers. Affected towers pop Frozen and Lead and deals +1 damage to Bloons affected by [[glue]] or [[acid]]. This attack unlocks at Level 4.

Leveling up increases the amount of shots required to trigger Heat It Up but overall increases the rate when Scientist Gwen is constantly attacking.

===Chemical Expert===

[[File:BTDB2 buff icon sciencegwen.png|50px|right]]

Chemical Expert buffs the attack speed and radius of all [[Glue Splatter (Battles 2)|Glue Splatter]]s (x-2-x [[Glue Gunner (Battles 2)|Glue Gunner]]) and [[Unstable Concoction (Battles 2)|Unstable Concoction]]s (x-3-x [[Alchemist (Battles 2)|Alchemist]]s) by 10%. She unlocks this buff at Level 5.

At level 18, this buff improves to 20% reduced attack cooldown and +20% radius.

===Chemical Cocktail===

[[File:BTDB2 science gwen chemical cocktail aa.png|50px|right]]

~~{{empty}}~~

'''Chemical Cocktail''' is unlocked at level 3. It places a [[Wall of Fire (Battles 2)|Wall of Fire]]-like projectile on the track that rapidly deals [[Damage type|fire damage]] to Bloons that pass over it. It hits every 0.36 seconds, dealing 3 damage, and can hit up to 40 Bloons at a time. It deals extra damage to a Bloon with glue and/or acid equal to up to 4 seconds worth of DoT (e.g. [[Corrosive Glue (Battles 2)|Corrosive Glue]] does +2 damage, which normally does 1 damage every 2 seconds), then removes those mutator(s). It lasts up to 6 seconds, and expires early if it can't pop a [[Purple Bloon (Battles 2)|Purple Bloon]]. The cocktail's landing point can be set to anywhere within Gwendolin's range using the [[targeting option]], even behind [[line of sight]] blockers. It has a 30-second cooldown and starts with a 7.5-second cooldown.

Starting from level 14, cocktail damage increases to 6 per tick, and applies a burn to MOAB-class Bloons that deals 5 damage every 0.5 seconds for up to 5 seconds. Starting from level 16, cocktail naturally pops Purple.
