''This page lists recommended builds for use in Onslaught.  For information about the game mode itself, see [[Onslaught]].''

In the [[Campaign|Campaign,]] the game recommends you use blockades to prevent enemies from reaching your core.  This works throughout most of the game and in all [[Chaos]] tiers, but Onslaught mode (and Prime [[Incursions]]) can feature enemies much stronger than your defenses are used to.  This can result in your defenses being overwhelmed very quickly.  It's not common for blockades to get destroyed in seconds when you're on a higher level floor, essentially defeating the sole purpose of your blockade.

Because of this, many defenses used in Onslaught differ heavily than those of other game modes; this, sadly, also means that you're more limited on what you can use to defend a lane.

Despite the limitations, there are plenty of different builds you can use, which are listed below.  Many of these builds use [[Shards]] and [[Mods]] - and some builds may even require specific ones to be used.
