We describe the emergence and interactions of breather modes and resonant wave modes within a two-dimensional ringlike oscillator chain in a microcanonical situation. Our analytical results identify different dynamical regimes characterized by the potential dominance of either type of mode. The chain is initially placed in a metastable state, which it can leave by passing over the brim of the applied Mexican-hat-like potential. We elucidate the influence of the different wave modes on the mean-first passage time. A central finding is that also in this complex potential landscape a fast noise-free escape scenario solely relying on nonlinear cooperative effects is accomplishable even in a low-energy setting.
