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.
