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. The 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 best suited for midrange decks, aggro Gwendolin can still be used for the purposes of farming achievements, such as 100 wins with Gwendolin, and 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.
 
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===
*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 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]].
