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.

Abilities

Chemical Cocktail

Chemical Cocktail is unlocked at level 3. It places a Wall of Fire-like projectile on the track that rapidly deals fire damage to Bloons that pass over it. It hits every 0.36 seconds, dealing 3 damage, and can hit up to 40 Bloons at a time. It does extra damage to a Bloon with glue and/or acid equal to up to 4 seconds worth of DoT (e.g. Corrosive Glue does +2 damage, which normally does 1 damage every 2 seconds), then removes those mutator(s). It lasts up to 6 seconds, and expires early if it hits a Purple Bloon (unless she threw it at level 16+). 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 has a 30-second cooldown and starts with a 7.5-second cooldown.

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.
