What is Onslaught Mode?
Overwhelm Your Opponents with Waves of Zombies
In this 1v1 game mode, you won't directly combat against your opponent. Defeating them is reliant on how much combos you do as it summons enemies to their side!
More Combos, More Enemies Sent to Opponents
The priority in this game mode are the combos as it determines how many enemies will be brought to your opponent's side. Keep up your combos to overwhelm your enemies!
Works Similar to Mercenaries Mode
Onslaught is the PVP version of Mercenaries Mode wherein you fight against waves of enemies. The score and ranking system are also the same.

How to Play Onslaught Mode
Each Character has a Set of Items
You're free to choose whichever character to play as in this game mode. They all have their set items and weapons so make sure to choose one that will work your gameplay type.
Keep Up Your Combos
Combos are the bread and butter of this game mode. The more Combos you do, the more enemies you send over to your opponent. Time out your attacks and try not to get hit to keep up your combos!
Perform Special Attacks
Special attacks like Coup de Grace and counters adds extra points whenever you perform them. Though they do not add more combo points, they do add extra score!
Focus on Survival
Dying will immediately make you lose the match. Focus on staying alive when you're being overwhelmed. It's better to catch up on the score later than immediately losing.
