Onslaught
Reach first Ancient Power requirements
The first Ancient Power reset requires floor 30 and Ascension 250, and resets most gear progression.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Reach first Ancient Power requirements
Onslaught for floor progress, Expeditions for experience, and Mananode in Town for the reset.
Before you go
- Complete the Campaign and unlock Onslaught.
- Reach Onslaught floor 30.
- Reach Ascension level 250.
- Be willing to rebuild downgraded armor, weapons, relics, and ungilded shards.
Farming steps
- Advance Onslaught floors while checking lane schedules and mutators before each defense.
- Claim floor rewards and improve the setup needed for continued clears.
- Run Expeditions that you can complete reliably to earn experience toward Ascension 250.
- Check your Ascension level and Onslaught floor against both first-reset requirements.
- Before resetting, review gear and shard losses and secure the items you rely on.
- Speak with Mananode in Town and inspect the current reset details.
- Accept the reset only when the displayed consequences fit your plan.
- The first reset threshold is floor 30 plus Ascension 250.
- The game’s progression guidance recommends reaching Chaos 9 first if possible, since it advances the Onslaught starting point; treat that as preparation, not a reset requirement.
Repeat, collect and use
The first reset is a one-time milestone. Further resets have rising floor requirements; check the current Mananode screen before planning another.
Common mistakes
- Treating Ascension 250 alone as sufficient; also reach floor 30 for the first reset.
- Resetting immediately upon eligibility; prepare for gear downgrades and the loss of levels on ungilded shards first.
When to stop or switch
Stop at eligibility until you are ready to rebuild; reset only when the prestige benefits and random weapon justify the downgrade for your account.
