==Overview==
==Overview==
Onslaught is a wave-based defense activity where players fight against the forces of the [[Fallen]] and [[Hive]] sent by [[The Witness|the Witness]]. Players must defend and repair the [[Advanced Defense Unit|ADU]] against waves of combatants, which are ten waves to a set. If the ADU is destroyed, the activity ends. Players can earn an in-game currency called '''Scrap'''  by scoring and be used to purchase and upgrade defenses at the start of every set and after every 3rd and 6th wave within that set. The playlist version has players complete one set while the Normal and Legend versions have five sets of escalating difficulty similar to [[The Coil|the Coil]]. The Extinguish [[Modifier|modifier]] activates by default on Legend, or after completing Wave 30 on Normal.
Onslaught is a wave-based defense activity where players fight against [[Eliksni]] and [[Hive]] forces sent by [[The Witness|the Witness]]. Players can earn scrap by defeating combatants and throwing [[Advanced Defense Unit|ADU]] batteries dropped by Saboteurs and [[Champion]]s. The playlist version has players complete 1 set of 10 waves while the Normal and Legend versions has them complete 5 sets of 10 waves.

Once the activity starts, players must defeat enemies to set up the ADU. Once the ADU is set up, players can spend scrap on decoys, turrets, or tripmines. These defenses can be upgraded after completing certain waves. Combatants, especially [[Saboteur (Onslaught)|Saboteur]]s and [[Champion]]s, will attempt to occupy the area surrounding the [[Advanced Defense Unit|ADU]] and cause as much damage to it. They can also drop ADU batteries which can be picked up and thrown at either the ADU or any defenses in need of repair, granting a bump of recovery to them.

===Heat Wave===
In rare instances after completing a boss wave, a bonus heat wave can be triggered, similar in nature to Ritual Anomalies from the [[Altars of Summoning (activity)|Altars of Summoning]] and the Lightning Round from [[Dares of Eternity]]. Players will acquire a buff called '''Shaxx's Mayhem''', which makes your abilities recharge at a faster rate. During the heat wave, multiple [[Tormentor]]s will endlessly appear, and a 1-minute timer begins. The heat wave is over when the timer expires, and the players will be rewarded one Trophy of Bravery for each Tormentor slain.
