Gwendolin is a Hero in Bloons Card Storm. She is unlocked alongside the Gwendolin Starter deck by completing the Tutorial campaign in The Basics.
Gwendolin focuses on spread damage and setting Bloons On Fire. She is also one of several heroes who can buff friendly Monkeys.
- Fireball — Sets a target Bloon On Fire. It can target Bloons on either side but cannot be used on Bloons that are already On Fire.
- Heat It Up — Passively increases the Attack Power of all Monkeys on the player's side by 10. It only affects the damage dealt by "attacks" and ignores most 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, setting them all On Fire. Bloons that are already On Fire take 250 damage instead.

Strategy

Gwendolin is less flexible at dealing direct damage than Quincy, but she compensates for this through her ability to damage bloons with On Fire effects and her unique synergies with other Monkeys. Gwendolin strategies benefit from all of her hero-exclusive cards, though Firestorm stands out for its cheap Gold cost and whole-screen damage without needing Bloontonium. Many of her other hero-exclusive cards assist at defensive combos against single Bloons, with Extreme Heat standing out for instakills and Gwen's Choice for extending her archetype coverage.
Although well-suited for midrange decks, aggro Gwendolin can still be used for the purposes of farming achievements, such as 100 wins with Gwendolin, by playing on Amelia's Adventure; otherwise, Quincy provides more efficient defense from Bloontonium. Her best deck archetype is tempo, particularly those involving piling up large quantities of Bloons such as MOABs and BFBs. She is also effective at defending against tempo decks herself if the opponent's Bloons are slow.
Gwendolin decks ideally should have some On Fire Monkeys, notably Burny Stuff Mortar, to synergize with her Flame Strike ability or most of her hero-exclusive cards.
Tips
[edit | edit source]- 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 substantial 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 the Super Monkey Fan Club, Blade Maelstrom, and Frag Bomb Shooter.
- +10 ATK is an effective buff particularly to Monkeys that take advantage of ATK. Frag Bomb Shooter and Triple Shot are good examples.
- Notably, +10 ATK can allow Tack Sprayer and Elite Defender to always two-shot a Pink Bloon buffed only by Dark Castle and Ezili, but not the first Pink from Zee Jay.
