Gwen, Tack, Sub, and Ninja
Gwendolin is a Hero who appears since the initial release of Bloons TD Battles 2. She is the Battles counterpart to her Bloons TD 6 counterpart (refer on this page). She is unlocked for free.
Gwendolin shoots fire that pops 4 bloons each at Level 1, and further increases that pierce in higher levels, plus more fire bursts and extra effects like napalm.
Gwendolin has two activated abilities: Cocktail of Fire and Firestorm. Cocktail of Fire drops a Wall of Fire type attack onto any section nearby her range by a selected point. Firestorm sets all the bloons on fire and provides an enhanced Heat It Up for all towers on screen.
She costs $700 to place.
Hero Alts[]
Scientist Gwendolin[]
Scientist Gwendolin is a Hero Alt of Gwendolin in Bloons TD Battles 2. Instead of being a pure reskin of a hero, Scientist Gwendolin offers a variety of sidegrades compared to the original Gwendolin, offering a different playstyle. Unlike Bloons TD 6, Scientist Gwendolin's abilities and attacks focus on specializing extra damage to Frozen and Leads as well as producing more powerful but shorter-lasting fiery attacks with her improved Heat It Up passive attack and Science Storm activated ability.
Scienist Gwendolin has two abilities. Her first ability, Chemical Cocktail, deals damage quicker but lasts shorter. Her second ability, Science Storm, applies stronger burn, lasts shorter on bloons, and applies the shorter Heat It Up effects.
She costs $700 to place.

Strategy[]
Summary[]
Grouped popping, becomes better later on against grouped rushes with her cocktail ability and her Heat It Up attack and buff.
Tips[]
- Tack is generally her best synergy, as she has high grouped-popping options and her Heat It Up buff greatly increases Tack pierce.
- Only her abilities and Heat It Up attack hit camo bloons, so it's best to use them for camo rushes.

Version History[]
Normal Gwendolin (Version History)[]
Although popular on release thanks to the heavy Tack Shooter meta, she has fallen off dramatically and is now considered to be one of the worst Heros in the game. This is due to her lack of utility, as you can’t control when her heat it up takes place. Her pierce buff is not considered significant enough early on, and the extra damage her Firestorm gives comes in too late to be effective. This has resulted in her being outclassed by just about every hero and being rarely used. When she’s used, it’s often reserved for tack and tack loadouts alone, such as Tack Ice/Glue Village or Tack Sub Farm

Scientist Gwendolin (Version History)[]
Science Gwen has been met with similar reception to her regular counterpart, that being underpowered and one of the worst heroes in the game. Unlike other hero alts, she and Gwen are considered to be fairly equal in terms of power and are swapped based purely on preference. Nonetheless, none of her changes addresses her counterpart’s weaknesses, and is thus similarly relegated to tack loadouts such as Tack-Ice-Village or Tack-Farm-Wiz.
