Notes

• The mutation Melee works well as you can keep multiple enemies slowed down.
• Weapons or skills with high knockback, such as Assault Shield or Wave of Denial, can be very useful to set up critical hits for the Impaler.

• Only one enemy has to be within close proximity to a suitable obstacle for every other enemy in the path to be struck by a critical hit.
• Critical hits can be triggered from walls, doors, or barriers in boss fights.
