Buffoon's laughter conceals fierce attack (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

onslaught

'fierce attack' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'buffoon's laughter conceals' is the wordplay.
'conceals' indicates a hidden word.
'ONSLAUGHT' is hidden in the letters of 'buffoons laughter'.

(Other definitions for onslaught that I've seen before include "Aggressive action" , "Sally" , "Vicious attack" , "Heavy attack" , "Fierce attack" .)
