Scientist Gwendolin Mad Scientist
Scientist Gwen's highly experimental compounds burn faster and hotter when exposed to chemicals like glue and acid! Cost $700 XP curve ×1 (type 2) Roles Defender Supporter Difficulty 2/5 Hero Alt of Gwendolin Introduced Launch

Scientist Gwendolin is a Hero Alt of Gwendolin in Bloons TD Battles 2. She costs  2,000 Monkey Money and 40,000 Gwendolin Hero Points to unlock.

Scientist Gwendolin's basic attack shoots fireballs that deal fire-type damage to up to 3 Bloons per shot, and deal extra damage to Bloons covered in glue and/or acid. She cannot damage Purple Bloons and cannot detect Camo Bloons. Compared to Gwendolin, she focuses specifically on synergizing with Glue Gunners and Alchemists. As she levels up, her attack gains more pierce and damage and shoots more projectiles at a time, and she unlocks buffs and additional attacks.

• Starting at level 4, her attack occasionally triggers a burst of fire around her that damages Bloons in an area and temporarily buffs towers within her range, granting them extra pierce, bonus damage to Bloons with glue/acid, and the ability to damage Lead Bloons.
• Starting at level 5, she passively buffs the attack speed and projectile radius of all Glue Gunners with Glue Splatter and Alchemists with Unstable Concoction on the map.
• Starting at level 6, her attack inflicts an effect on Bloons that deals fire-type damage over time for a few seconds.

Scientist Gwendolin has two activated abilities: Chemical Cocktail (Level 3), and Science Storm (Level 10):

• Chemical Cocktail: creates a temporary Wall of Fire-like projectile on the track that damages Bloons that pass through and burns off glue and/or acid, dealing extra damage to affected Bloons depending on the strength of the effect removed.
• Science Storm: damages all Bloons on the map and deals extra damage to MOAB-Class Bloons, inflicts fire-type damage over time, burns off glue and/or acid, and grants all towers extra damage and her level 4 buff for a short time.

Differences from Gwendolin

This article or section is outdated and needs to be updated to reflect recent updates or newly available information. You can help out by editing this article. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Scientist Gwendolin was reworked in v4.3.1 OTA 1 and has completely different mechanics now

• Scientist Gwendolin's main attack and Cocktail of Fire does +1 lead damage and +1 frozen damage. All of her Heat it Up buffs also grant +1 lead damage and +1 frozen damage.
• Heat it Up buffs grants +2 lead damage and +2 frozen damage at level 16.
• Scientist Gwendolin's level 4 Heat it Up buff requires more shots to activate, and its duration is shorter.
• Scientist Gwendolin's level 3 Cocktail of Fire has a shorter lifespan, but attacks faster and has more pierce.
• Scientist Gwendolin's level 10 Firestorm has a shorter lifespan but ticks faster.

Compared to Gwendolin, Scientist Gwendolin's abilities are stronger, but their durations are shorter. She also does extra lead and frozen damage, and her Heat it Up buffs grant towers extra lead and frozen damage as well. However, her passive Heat it Up buff requires more shots to activate, generally resulting in less buff uptime.

Level	Description
1	Blasts bloons with fire from her pyro gun, dealing extra damage to those covered in glue or acid.
2	Slightly increased popping power per shot.
3	Chemical Cocktail: Hurls a flask of flammable liquid, incinerating bloons and burning off any chemicals on them for extra damage.
4	Heat it up - Every few seconds creates a powerful blast wave of fire. Nearby Monkeys gain fire damage and do extra damage to bloons covered in glue or acid.
5	Increased popping power. 10% improved attack speed and splash radius for Splatter Glue Gunners and Unstable Concoction Alchemists.
6	Attacks cause a burn effect on target bloon.
7	Heat it up has increased radius.
8	Shoots 2 blasts of fire per shot.
9	Initial hit per blast pops 1 extra layer.

We wanted to make Scientist Gwen a more unique hero and give her different uses and strategies from regular Gwendolin. Playing into her chemist theme, we decided to give her strong synergies with monkeys that use chemicals in their attacks, specifically the Alchemist and the Glue Gunner.
