==Tips==

*Extreme Heat is ~~good at eliminating high-~~health Bloons ~~or Bloons that benefit the opponent when damaged,~~ such as [[~~Weakening Gas~~ Bloon]]s and [[~~Growth Gas Bloon~~]]s.

*Extreme Heat is very effective versus big health Bloons such as [[The Regenerator]], [[Lead Zeppelin]], [[Golden Blimp]], [[Soulstealer Bloon]], and other powerful blimps, as well as dangerous Bloons with gimmicks such as [[RAPID]]. For these reasons, Gwendolin can run this if she is struggling against tempo decks.

**Extreme Heat pairs particularly well with [[It's All On Fire Now]], allowing the player to set any Bloon On Fire and then destroy it with Extreme Heat immediately for only 5 Gold, and both cards have 2 charges.

**Extreme Heat is an easy way to trigger the [[Volatile Bloon]] to heavily damage all Bloons on both sides.

*With 2 charges and no possibility to return the card, Extreme Heat is better at stopping enemy Bloons than [[Return to Sender]], without any risk of giving the opponent extra sources of Bloontonium.

*With 2 charges and no possibility to return the card, Extreme Heat is better at stopping enemy ~~bloons~~ than [[Return to Sender]], without any risk of giving the opponent extra sources of Bloontonium.

**This can be used to remove scaling Bloons such as [[The Eternal]] or [[Bolstered Bloon]], preventing them from scaling further. For Eternal, the return to the opponent's hand can be prevented if it is full.

**~~However, this is not to~~ be used to remove ~~an opponent's~~ [[The Eternal]], ~~or else it'll scale~~ further, ~~unless~~ the opponent's ~~deck~~ is ~~already~~ full.

*Keep in mind that Gwendolin's abilities are already very strong against tempo, so using Extreme Heat may just take up deckspace for something she could already do.

*~~Players who~~ are ~~seeking to boost their own The Eternal could use Extreme Heat to instantly pop it~~, ~~along with [[Bloon Melter]]. To allow The Eternal to come back, always have 7 or less cards in the deck if~~ using ~~a 2-charge~~ Extreme Heat.
