'''Cocktail of Fire''' 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 0.24 seconds and can hit up to 26 Bloons at a time. 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 45-second cooldown and starts with a 7.5-second cooldown.

It hits every 0.24 seconds and can hit up to 26 Bloons at a time. It deals +1 damage to Frozen and +1 to Lead properties.

It has a 45-second cooldown and starts with a 7.5-second cooldown.
 
Starting from level 14, cocktail damage increases to 2 per tick, and applies a burn to MOAB-class Bloons that deals 5 damage every 1 second for up to 10 seconds. Starting from level 16, cocktail naturally pops Purple.

'''Firestorm''' is unlocked at level 10. When activated, it instantly deals damage to all non-Purple bloons on screen, sets affected bloons on fire, and all friendly towers gain the Heat It Up buff plus another +1 damage, +1 Lead damage, and +1 Frozen damage. The fire deals 1 damage every 0.5s to bloons, and more damage every 1s to MOAB-class. Her Firestorm improves with levels. It has a 60-second cooldown and has no initial cooldown.
