=== Controlled Burn ===
This is arguably the scariest lane mutator in Onslaught, as enemies are completely invincible if they don't have status effect. Any status effect works, so crowd control builds won't suffer from this mutator. If you want to be able to damage these enemies with your hero, [[Shards|Drenching Strikes]] will allow you to damage them (this also sets up the [[Electrocute]] combo should enemies take storm damage afterwards). [[Shards|Burning Strikes]] also works effectively, but it doesn't activate as often as drenching strikes does.
If you do not have a decent crowd control build, consider using [[Poison Dart Tower|Poison Dart Towers.]] [[Geyser Trap|Geyser Traps]] applies can also be used to apply [[Drenched|drench]] to enemies, which not only allows them to take damage, but it also slows them. However, geyser traps have one of the smallest ranges in the game and a very long recharge, so it is not a reliable way to deal with controlled burn. Water Servo also has a 100% chance to drench at any mod level and any chaos tier so it is one of the better ways to deal with Controlled Burn if you use a defense that can be elementally attuned.
[[Frostbite Tower|Frostbite Towers]] will chill enemies, which also counts as a status effect. However, frostbite towers alone cannot deal damage, so be sure to pair it with another defense while the frostbite if focused on a group of enemies. If you also manage to drench enemies as well, your Frostbite can [[Freeze]] them solid.
