Overview

Onslaught is one of the gamemodes in Dungeon Defenders 2, which features stronger enemies as you progress.
Onslaught is available as soon as you complete the Campaign. You'll start on floor 1, begining your journey to floor 999!

Features

Onslaught has many special features that aren't present in other gamemodes. Here is a list of the special features:

  • The further you progress through floors in Onslaught, the higher level enemies will become.
The enemy level scaling of onslaught is rather low at 172.5 levels per floor (floor 36-945).
After completing floor 945 the scaling starts to go up exponentially at 402,500 levels per floor (floor 946-999).
Shortly into the exponential scaling, all enemies' health gradually reaches the 32bit Interger limit and decides to cap at a flat 2 billion HP.


  • Every lane has special conditions as to which monsters can spawn from it. The name of the lane will also change as well to indicate what will spawn there.
Lanes will have set prefixes, suffixes, or names that will appear on a lane and determine what spawns from it. e.g. Cy = cyborks, Frost = Frost Enemies.

Lane mutators can be viewed by holding shift and will appear below the list of enemies. The further you go in Onslaught, the more mutators that will appear in each game.
Each lane is limited to 2 mutators at a time, double mutators start at floor 22. Re-rolling an onslaught floor will re-roll the mutators, lanes and map.

  • Each floor has a map pool (listed below) and a forced map, The Lost Temple that every player needs to do when pushing their onslaught floors. Temple will occur every 10 floors starting from 34 and has unique mechanics to overcome.

Chaos Level

Each floor has a difficulty associated with it that determines what chaos enemies can spawn, as well as what kinds of rewards can drop in terms of equipment, shards, crafting materials, and mods.
Note: Completing an expedition will automatically set your floor to the minimum floor in it's range. This does not apply to Chaos 10 expeditions.
In order to access a specific chaos tier to skip some Onslaught floors through expeditions, a minimum champion score must be met.

Chaos 1 3~4 3 335
Chaos 2 5~8 5 580

Map Pools

Onslaught has a map pool system per floor. Each floor's pool can be identified with the last digit of the floor number.
e.g. floor 105 will be one of the maps in it's category below.
The last digit rule applies floor 33+, groups stay the same always but before then the last digit rule doesn't work.
