'''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, each flame pops up to 2 Bloons at a rate of every 0.5 seconds. Almost every level improves her flame attack. All of her attacks cannot pop [[Purple Bloon (BTD6)|Purple Bloon]]s without support until she reaches at least level 16, and all of her activated<!--not "passive attacks"--> abilities can affect Camo.

===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:

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 1 damage every 0.2 seconds to 20 bloons per tick in a radius of 15

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

|Can hit up to 60 Bloons per tick. Targeting range increases slightly

'''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 15 damage every 1.0 seconds to MOAB-class, lasting up to 8 seconds. The ability has a cooldown of 60 seconds. It gains the following improvements as Gwendolin levels up:
