Quick answer

Build for mixed modifiers, not one damage type

Villain Invasion adds damage resistance, shields, regeneration, stuns, speed and respawn mechanics across four acts. Carry damage-over-time for Sword enemies, crowd control for pressure, and enough early damage to survive the stacked final act.
