Gwendolin is a Hero in Bloons Card Storm. She is unlocked by completing the Tutorial campaign in The Basics, along with the Gwendolin Starter deck.

Gwendolin focuses on spread damage and setting Bloons On Fire.

• Fireball sets a selected Bloon On Fire. It can target Bloons on either side.
• Heat It Up increases the Attack Power of all Monkeys on the player's side by 5. It only affects the damage dealt by "attacks" and ignores damage-dealing card effects like the Boomerang Monkey's additional hit or the Thunder Druid's On Play effect.
• Flame Strike attacks all Bloons on the opponent's side. Bloons that are not On Fire are set On Fire, while Bloons that are already On Fire take 250 damage instead.

Exclusive cards

• It's All On Fire Now
• Extreme Heat
• Firestorm

Strategy

This strategy section is empty or incomplete. See the strategy guidelines for more information on how to write strategy sections.

Gwendolin is less flexible at direct damage than Quincy, but compensates this with being able to do more damage onto higher-delay bloons with her On Fire effects, and adding unique synergies with other Monkeys and against bloons already On Fire. All of her hero-exclusive cards are beneficial to Gwendolin strategies, although Firestorm stands out for its cheap Gold cost and wholescreen damage without needing Bloontonium.

Although best suited for midrange and control decks, aggro Gwendolin can still be used for the purposes of farming achievements, such as 100 wins with Gwendolin, as otherwise Quincy provides more efficient defense from bloontonium. For aggro Gwendolin, rush the opponent with swarms of low-cost 1 delay bloons, and only use Firestorm as a last resort against swarms.

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: Super Monkey Fan Club, Tack Sprayer.
