Path of Exile 2: How to Get the Onslaught Coil Breach Ring


In Path of Exile 2, gear progression takes a massive leap forward with new item types, powerful base affixes, and dynamic boss encounters. One of the most desirable rings introduced in the current Breach content cycle is the Onslaught Coil Breach Ring. This item is highly coveted by melee and attack-based builds due to its synergy with Onslaught effects, movement speed, and high attack speed bonuses.

 

In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the Onslaught Coil Breach Ring in Path of Exile 2 — including how to obtain it, where it drops, optimal farming strategies, and crafting advice to elevate this ring into a build-defining powerhouse.

 

What is the Onslaught Coil Breach Ring?

The Onslaught Coil is a Breach-exclusive unique or rare ring that can drop from Breach Lords or from specific league-based encounters tied to Breachstones. It belongs to the Breach Ring item class, which means it can only be worn in one ring slot (as you cannot wear two Breach Rings simultaneously).

 

Why Is It So Powerful?

The appeal of the Onslaught Coil lies in its potent synergy with fast-paced builds. While the exact modifiers on the ring may vary (as many Onslaught Coil drops are rare, not unique), players typically seek it out for the following kinds of mods:

 

Chance to gain Onslaught on kill or hit

 

Increased Attack Speed

 

Increased Movement Speed while you have Onslaught

 

Elemental or Physical Damage to Attacks

 

Resistance or Life mods

 

Breach-specific implicits, such as increased damage in Breaches or extra Chaos/Cold damage

 

Its unique implicit, a hallmark of all Breach Rings, often grants a bonus like increased damage while in a Breach or boosts to specific elemental or chaos resistances.

 

Where to Get the Onslaught Coil Breach Ring

The Onslaught Coil is a Breach-exclusive drop, and as such, it cannot drop in normal zones. It comes from the following sources:

 

1. Breachlords in Breachstones

The primary source of Onslaught Coil is from Breachlords, particularly:

 

Tul, Creeping Avalanche (Cold Breach)

 

Esh, Forked Thought (Lightning Breach)

 

Xoph, Dark Embers (Fire Breach)

 

Uul-Netol, Unburdened Flesh (Physical Breach)

 

Chayula, Who Dreamt (Chaos Breach)

 

Each Breachlord can drop specific Breach Rings tied to their element, and Onslaught Coil is most commonly associated with Tul or Esh Breachstones.

 

2. Flawless Breachstones

If you want to maximize your chance at a high-tier Breach Ring drop, Flawless Breachstones are your best bet. These high-level Breachstones (tiered above Pure) have the highest monster levels and loot multipliers.

 

Flawless Breachstones can be obtained by upgrading Pure Breachstones using Blessings of Chayula or through Omen upgrades.

 

These are best farmed with high item quantity and Breach-specific gear modifiers (like the Sextant or Atlas passives that increase Breachstone rewards).

 

3. Breach in the Map Device (Map Mods and Atlas Tree)

The Map Device in PoE 2 allows you to juice up Breach encounters via Scarabs and Atlas Passive Trees:

 

Use Gilded or Winged Breach Scarabs to guarantee Breaches in your maps.

 

Take Atlas Passive Nodes that boost Breach reward count, boss appearance rate, or drop quantity.

 

Focus on maps that favor linear layouts (like Tropical Island or Strand) to fully clear the Breach quickly and reach the boss hands faster.

 

The more Breach activity you generate, the more chances you’ll have to earn a Breach Ring drop like Onslaught Coil.

 

4. Breach Encounter Zones (Breach Domains)

New to Path of Exile 2 are dedicated Breach Domains, introduced as endgame zones designed around Breach content. You can access these by:

 

Running high-tier Breachstones

 

Using portals dropped by Breach monsters

 

Completing league mechanics that culminate in Breach-themed arenas

 

These zones feature a much higher drop rate for Breach-specific items like the Onslaught Coil.

 

Farming Strategy: How to Farm Onslaught Coil Efficiently

Here’s a focused approach to farming your own Onslaught Coil Breach Ring:

 

Step 1: Target the Right Breachlord

While the ring can drop from any Breachlord, Esh and Tul have a higher drop association due to their affinity for speed/attack stats. Focus your Breachstones and encounters around those two.

 

Step 2: Maximize Quantity and Quality

Stack Item Quantity on your character and map modifiers.

 

Use Breachstones with additional modifiers like "Boss drops corrupted items" or "increased monster pack size".

 

Equip gear that increases Breach reward chances (Gloves with “Increased Breach loot”, if available).

 

Consider party play — more players = more monsters = more loot.

 

Step 3: Craft or Purchase Efficiently

If you’re not up for farming:

 

Trade for the Onslaught Coil in player-to-player trading systems.

 

Use filters like "has Onslaught on kill", "Breach Ring", or “movement speed while Onslaught active” in PoE.trade or community tools.

 

Consider buying base Breach Rings and crafting them yourself.

 

Crafting and Upgrading the Onslaught Coil

If you find a decent rare Onslaught Coil Breach Ring, here’s how to elevate it:

 

Step 1: Chaos Spamming

Use Chaos Orbs to reroll the stats until you get good prefixes and suffixes.

 

Look for combos like:

 

“+to maximum life”

 

“Increased Attack Speed”

 

“Adds X-Y Elemental Damage to Attacks”

 

“Gain Onslaught on Kill”

 

Step 2: Essence Crafting

Use Essences of Zeal or Essences of Insanity for guaranteed attack speed rolls.

 

Step 3: Eldritch Currency or Veiled Chaos

If you want to push even further:

 

Use Veiled Chaos POE 2 Orbs for unveiling powerful crafted modifiers.

 

Apply Eldritch Exarch/Eater currency to influence implicit rolls if that system carries over into POE 2’s itemization (depending on the final launch mechanics).

 

Builds That Benefit from Onslaught Coil

This ring is ideal for:

 

Melee Attack builds (Flicker Strike, Dual Strike, Cyclone)

 

Ranger or Duelist Ascendancies

 

Any build that relies on Onslaught uptime

 

Breach League content specialists

 

If you’re playing a Pathfinder, Deadeye, or Slayer, you’ll especially benefit from the ring's bonuses to speed and movement.

 

Conclusion

The Onslaught Coil Breach Ring is a prized addition to any fast-paced attack build in Path of Exile 2, offering bonuses to Onslaught uptime, attack speed, and movement speed. To acquire it, you’ll need to delve deep into Breach content — especially Flawless Breachstones and Breachlord farming — or take your chances with trade and crafting.

 

With the right strategy, drop location knowledge, and crafting preparation, the Onslaught Coil can become a cornerstone item in your endgame gear set.

 

Whether you're speeding through maps or pushing into Breach Domains, this ring can elevate your gameplay to a new level of efficiency and lethality.
