Gwendolin is a Hero in Bloons TD 6. She is unlocked by reaching level 14. She shoots blasts of fire at bloons with her flamethrower. Initially, she pops up to 2 bloons at a rate of every 0.5s. At Level 4, she gains a passively generating Heat It Up attack that is triggered every 40 shots from her flamethrower. Starting at Level 5, she grants extra attack speed for Ring of Fire, Dragon's Breath, and Signal Flare. Almost every level improves her flame attack.
In Rogue Legends, the starting party of Gwendolin includes a 1-1-0 Tack Shooter, 0-2-0 Wizard Monkey, and the Flaming Hot Punch-A-Rang Common.

Two flames is just like Bucc Double Shot, and not consume Alch buffs faster? Level 9 is true? Check projectile speed and projectile lifespan stats of all levels |
Gwendolin's main attack is a flamethrower that shoots flame projectiles. At base, each flame pops up to deals 1 damage to up to 2 Bloons, and she attacks every 0.5 seconds. It gains the following improvements as Gwendolin levels up:
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 2 | Pierce increased to 3. |
| 5 | Pierce increased to 4. |

| 7 | Shoots two flames per shot. |
| 9 | Flames deal 2 damage, and burn damage per tick increased to 2.
Every level increases burn duration by +1s starting at 4s at Level 9 and up to 15s at Level 20 |

Heat it up
Heat it up is unlocked at level 4. Gwendolin periodically triggers a burst of fire that damages nearby Bloons and buffs nearby towers. The attack triggers 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. It gains the following improvements as Gwendolin levels up:

Pyrotechnics Expert
Pyrotechnics Expert[1] is a tower buff unlocked 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 is unlocked 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. It gains the following improvements as Gwendolin levels up:
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 7 | Deals damage twice as fast and can hit up to 40 Bloons per tick instead of 20. Radius of the fire wall increases by 33%. |
| 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 is unlocked 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 10 damage every 1.0 seconds to MOAB-class, lasting up to 8 seconds. It gains the following improvements as Gwendolin levels up:
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| 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
For more in-depth strategies, see Strategy:Gwendolin (BTD6).
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.

Gwendolin’s Heat it Up! attack/buff has been sitting in a weird spot where it would benefit from attack speed but does not because of the cooldown which prevents it ever having full uptime. This rework makes her have a roughly similar uptime at all levels without being buffed, however she will now benefit properly with increased uptime depending on any rate modifiers applied to her. A fully juiced Gwendolin around level 15 or 18 should now be capable of achieving 100% buff uptime

The last Gwendolin change didn't come through as well as intended for a number of reasons, so while keeping true to the intention behind this change it has been improved across the board to properly buff this again

As the Firestorm ability itself drops off later anyway, Gwen’s level 17 buff to Heat it Up will now apply to the version granted to all towers by Firestorm as well.

Similar to Wall of Fire, Gwendolin’s Cocktail gains too much strength in grouped situations too early on and so this power has been pushed to higher levels.

As she’s a little average all around these days with other heroes overtaking in the past years, Gwendolin is seeing some improved quality of life, synergization, and extra juice to the initial hit of Firestorm since currently the ability is, well, not heroic enough and the first impact does very little compared to the DoT.

For now with a noteworthy direct comparison to Brickell and the use cases for these two heroes we have done a price swap keeping the lesser of the two at the lower price point. However as 750 would put gwen on the same cost as Striker Jones and we want starts with base 4 heroes to stay more diverse we have taken her down a little extra on top of that.

Gwen’s early game is just too much, especially far too excessive with the right combinations of knowledge / relic buffs so some of this power is being pushed up more with a makeup buff to cocktail at Lv7 where this has started to fall off by.

Looking back over her kit, we noticed that we’ve never improved the actual attack itself for Gwen’s Heat it Up. Allowing her to be juiced up with high attack speed in order to spam these supercharged bursts of damage sounds fun and cool, so while noting that this will also increase the uptime of her buff we’re removing the limiter on her Heat it Up rate and pumping up its damage tenfold.

Gwendolin’s Heat it Up was recently reworked to allow for much more frequent triggering from attacks, however the 4.5s internal cooldown still limits it from being scaled up far so that internal cooldown is now also being reduced. Additionally, Heat it Up’s bonus buff to damage against Lead targets has been improved slightly so we can get more out of that niche.
