'''Gwendolin''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. She is unlocked by reaching [[level]] 14. She shoots blasts of fire at bloons with her flamethrower. Initially, she pops up to 2 bloons at a rate of every 0.5s. At Level 4, she gains a passively generating Heat It Up attack that is triggered every 40 shots from her flamethrower. Starting at Level 5, she grants extra attack speed for [[Ring of Fire (BTD6)|Ring of Fire]], [[Dragon's Breath (BTD6)|Dragon's Breath]], and [[Signal Flare (BTD6)|Signal Flare]]. Almost every level improves her flame attack.

In [[Rogue Legends]], the starting party of Gwendolin includes a 1-1-0 [[Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooter]], 0-2-0 [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkey]], and the [[Flaming Hot Punch-A-Rang]] Common.

===Pyro gun===

'''Heat it up''' is unlocked at level 4. Gwendolin periodically triggers a burst of fire that damages nearby [[Bloon]]s and buffs nearby [[tower]]s. The attack triggers every 40 shots or after 1.5 seconds since it last triggered, whichever takes longer. It has 100 pierce, 38 range and deals 3 damage. The buff gives towers +1 [[pierce]] and allows them to pop [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s and [[frozen]] Bloons, and lasts for 8 seconds. It gains the following improvements as Gwendolin levels up:

'''Pyrotechnics Expert'''<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/btd6/comments/y1rbkv/bloons_td_6_update_notes_version_330/|title=Bloons TD 6 - Update Notes! Version 33.0|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=3 feb 2025}}</ref> is a [[tower buff]] unlocked at level 5. It has infinite [[range]] and applies to all [[Tack Shooter (BTD6)|Tack Shooter]]s upgraded to [[Ring of Fire (BTD6)|Ring of Fire]] and above (except [[Crucible of Steel and Flame]]), [[Mortar Monkey (BTD6)|Mortar Monkey]]s upgraded to [[Signal Flare (BTD6)|Signal Flare]] and above, and [[Wizard Monkey (BTD6)|Wizard Monkey]]s upgraded to [[Dragon's Breath (BTD6)|Dragon's Breath]] and above (except [[Magus Perfectus]]), reducing their [[attack speed|attack cooldown]] and increasing their [[projectile radius]] by 10%. Starting at level 18, the effect increases to 20%.

'''Cocktail of Fire''' is unlocked 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. 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 deals [[Damage type|fire-type]] damage every 0.2 seconds to up to 20 Bloons at a time, lasts for 12 seconds, and has a 30-second cooldown. It gains the following improvements as Gwendolin levels up:

|Deals damage twice as fast and can hit up to 40 Bloons per tick instead of 20. Radius of the fire wall increases by 33%.

'''Firestorm''' is unlocked at level 10. It causes Gwendolin to hurl a firestorm throughout the entire map, burning and damaging all non-Purple bloons (until Level 16+) and triggering Heat It Up to every tower. The initial damage inflicts 5 damage, 20 to MOAB-class. Afterwards, a burn damage-over-time is applied, dealing 2 damage every 0.5 seconds to non-blimps and 10 damage every 1.0 seconds to MOAB-class, lasting up to 8 seconds. It gains the following improvements as Gwendolin levels up:

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.
