Still WIP.
This build can be used very early on, as you already have access to [[Petrify]] without the need for any shards or mods. You first want to poison enemies with the Poison Dart Tower (PDT), and then petrify them with the Earthshatter Tower (ES).
'''Strengths:''' *This build has no required shards or mods, and can be used anytime.*The PDT and ES have the longest ranges in the game, which is what separates this build from other Onslaught builds.*Cannot be stunned by [[Cyborks|Cyborks.]] '''Weaknesses:'''*Both the PDT and ES are towers, which means enemies can destroy them if placed improperly. This also makes the build highly vulnerable to [[Kobolts|EMP fliers.]]*The Defense Rate PDT's darts can be blocked by [[Vanguards]] and Deadly Strikes /or [[Geodes]] (a piercer [[Mods|servo]] can fix this issue).*Can be overwhelmed by large hordes of enemies. '''[[ShardsMods|shardsMods:]] ''' No mods are required, but a shatterquake servo can apply continuous earth damage to a single area, which allows PDTs to instantly petrify enemies in the area of effect. Defense Range servos can augment the already-impressive range of both towers, so it's highly recommended. '''[[Shards|Shards:]]''' No shards are required. Defense Rate allows and Deadly Strikes, however, are great augments for any tower, and the PDT and ES are no exceptions. Earth Toss is a highly recommended shard for your ES. The knock-up provided isn't necessary since you 're already petrifying enemies, but this shard also increases the AOE radius of each earth spike, which makes it much easier to petrify a group of enemies more often. Alternatively, since the ES has the longest range of any defense in the game, while stacking Vicious Strikes with Deadly Strikes can make this tower a perfect sniper. Destruction may seem like a good choice your your PDT's last shard, but you will hugely probably get more benefit from increasing poison damage instead. If you have a spare Vicious Strikes hyper shard, you can stack it with Deadly Strikes to achieve massive range on both your PDT if extra suits you more, but you will need 155 stars in [[Mastery]] mode to obtain this shard (will be available soon in Prime [[Incursions]]). == [[Reflect Beam]] + [[Proton Beam]] or [[Weapon Manufacturer]]==This build can be difficult to prepare, but carries multiple benefits with it when used properly as well as being able to [[Petrify]] enemies just as effectively. This is a very common build for players in the PDT hundreds in Onslaught. As such, it is also capable of holding its ground in Prime [[Incursions|Incursions.]] '''Strengths:''' *Cannot be damaged by enemies.*Can distract [[Kobold Flier|Kobold Fliers]] and ES; encourage them to dive-bomb to no avail (doesn't work with [[Kobolts]]).*Using the proper shards/mods can allow this is build to defeat [[Cyborks]] before giving them the chance to disable anything.*Can be adjusted to provide multiple ways to [[Stun]] or [[Slow]] enemies, and even stack them. This also what separates essentially allows this build from other common Onslaught builds to laugh at most lane mutators, like Controlled Burn. '''Weaknesses:'''*Can be disabled by [[Cyborks|Cyborks,]] even when using decent shards and mods (other builds are WIPthough using them will make the build less likely to be disabled).*Cannot tackle every lane mutator. For example, this build suffers heavily against Cursi-kaze.*[[Berserker Orcs]] can charge through this build.
