Gwendolin is a Hero in Bloons TD 6. She unlocks upon reaching level 14.
Gwendolin attacks by shooting fireballs at Bloons from 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 Bloons without support until she reaches at least level 16, and all of her activated abilities can affect Camo.
- Starting at level 4, she gains a passively generating Heat It Up attack that is triggered every 40 shots from her flamethrower, creating a high-pierce radial fire attack that additionally buffs nearby towers with +1 pierce and gives the ability to pop frozen and Lead Bloons. Starting at level 17, the buff grants additional damage to all Bloons, especially Lead Bloons.
- Starting at level 5, she grants extra attack speed and radius for Ring of Fire, Dragon's Breath, and Signal Flare, which is improved at level 18.
- She has two Activated Abilities:
- Cocktail of Fire (level 3) — Drops a cocktail onto a targeted location within her range, creating a blaze (similar to Wall of Fire) that constantly damages non-Purple Bloons that pass through it.
- Firestorm (level 10) — Damages and burns all non-Purple Bloons on screen and immediately applies a Heat It Up effect for all other towers on screen.

Heat it up

Heat it up unlocks at level 4. It is a burst of fire that damages nearby Bloons and buffs nearby towers. The attack triggers at Gwendolin's position 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 Bloons and frozen Bloons, and lasts for 8 seconds.

Pyrotechnics Expert

Pyrotechnics Expert[1] is a tower buff that unlocks at level 5. It has infinite range and applies to all Tack Shooters upgraded to Ring of Fire and above (except Crucible of Steel and Flame), Mortar Monkeys upgraded to Signal Flare and above, and Wizard Monkeys upgraded to Dragon's Breath and above (except Magus Perfectus), reducing their attack cooldown and increasing their projectile radius by 10%. Starting at level 18, the effect increases to 20%.
Abilities
Cocktail of Fire

Cocktail of Fire unlocks at level 3. It causes Gwendolin to throw a molotov cocktail on the track, creating a 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 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.
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 3 | Deals 1 damage every 0.2 seconds to 20 bloons per tick in a radius of 15. |
| 7 | Deals damage twice as fast and can hit up to 40 Bloons per tick. Radius of the fire wall increases to 20. |
| 11 | Can hit up to 60 Bloons per tick. Targeting range increases slightly. |
| 14 | Deals 2 damage per tick instead of 1 and now inflicts a damage over time effect on MOAB-Class Bloons that deals 5 damage every second for 10 seconds. |
| 16 | Can now damage Purple Bloons. |
| 20 | Deals 5 damage per tick with the fire and 8 damage per tick with the damage over time effect. |
Firestorm

Firestorm unlocks 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.
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 10 | 5 initial damage, 20 to MOAB-class, 2 damage per 0.5 second to bloons, 15 damage per 1 second to MOAB class, 8 second duration |
| 16 | Affects Purples, burn lasts for 10.4 seconds and does extra damage per tick (bloons: 5, MOAB-class: 20). |
| 17 | Gains the improved Heat It Up effect unlocked at Level 17. |
| 20 | Initial damage increased to 10 to bloons, 50 to MOAB-class. Burn does extra damage per tick (bloons: 10, MOAB-class: 30). |

Strategy
| This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Elaborate on use cases and how to use her effectively |
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. Place her close to the main defenses.
